Hell is repetition.

But Hell can make you strong.

It would be a practical step to take. It's too early to say which it might be but I would be surprised if they had not noticed it was something they were capable of. And that they would take advantage of it when they noticed it.

It's just the nature of things; those who have enough power will inevitably try to "reshape" things to a form that suits them.

It's a sound idea in theory, but I've seen many people ground into the dust and reshaped into nothing but hatred and discontent for them. It'd only due to fuel hatred for them, with so many people on the opposite side of their own little bubble.

This is true. However in my experience those who cling to the notion I described, the idea of reshaping things to be pleasing to them, have developed a defense mechanism for when things don't go as planned. For when those they are "experimenting" on don't react the "right" way.

And it's a simple answer: the believe the problem must lie with the person that was subjected to their cruelties and not with their own system. The system is perfect, it was the specimen that was faulty.

It can be surprising just how desperately they grasp to their ideology, even while it crumbles around them.

So if we are the ones at fault, they continue their experiments, until we respond in the way that we should be responding, i.e. crippling fear and complacency.

If that's true, then they're more idiotic than I thought. Though maybe it's their determination to see their own method through that'll work out for us in the end.

I would take saying they're idiotic and replace that with fanatic. It can be quite easy to see fanaticism as but another form of idiocy, but in the end that can be a dangerous fallacy. They're intelligent; they're merely blinded by what they want. That's what makes them dangerous.

Still, you're correct. Their desire will have the chance to work in our favor by the end.
