I love what you wrote. Unfortunately though, other than a few quotes and general knowledge I don't have deep understanding of Jung's psychology or philosophy... I just know there is a lot of symbolic language and archetypes - it's very dream-like in many ways. So I wont pretend to understand the play of feminine vs. masculine, even though, instinctually - I get it.
The thought that came to mind, as I was reading this, is kinda on par with what @arven said...
True weakness is expressed through aggression by the 'strong' - When a side that holds all the levers and the leverage turns to cruelty and destruction as the first move. This also represents some sort of moral vacuum inside. Because to them it's not about 'making a better world', it's about preempting anyone else from gaining any power in the future. It's abuser mentality, It's toxic, it's fearful, it's insecurity. Simply weak.
It's worth looking into, for sure. Discovering Jung's work has been tremendously helpful to me.Otherwise, I agree,
I genuinely don't understand how these people think, but this is a good summary, I imagine.
