This gave me the idea of the mark of the beast manifesting as incentivized willful ignorance in choosing to disregard the truth about violence in putting a preference of comfort over accountability. Ethical responsibility has been traded for benefits at someone else's expense. It looks like a mark of complicity that erodes empathy itself.
Many in this circumstance have their own cycle of harm unchecked under the guise of normalcy, in the form of a family it is enabled because no one goes against it, but rather, even when they know it goes against their own integrity, they do not actively stand up against it and therefore they give up their own sense of authenticity and integrity to maintain a facade of unity.
