Crush your enemy totally

Zero-Sum Bias: This cognitive bias leads people to view interactions as win-lose, where one's gain is another's loss. This mindset justifies the complete defeat of opponents.

Fear Appeal: Behavioral studies suggest that creating a sense of fear can reduce the willingness of others to challenge authority. By "crushing" an enemy, one sends a message to others not to oppose.

Dominance Hierarchy: Research into dominance behavior shows that people tend to fall into hierarchies. By decisively "crushing" opponents, one reinforces their position at the top of the hierarchy, which others are often less likely to challenge.
