It's not mental illness & addictions, it's more about the environmental factors that Uphold/Rationalize & Justify/Proliferate their lifestyles (Supremacy, Repression, Regression, Chaos, Divide, Disorder, Hegemonic, Genocidal,..).
It's a copy-paste from conservative, even Hitler relied on these factors to establish power.

I have been listening to the podcast Activist #MMT (PodcastAddict/Apple), I invite everyone to listen to these episodes, although it wasn't mentioned just in this one

Episode 143 [1/3]: Emily Ruhl: Religiously-defensible, divinely-supported genocide
Episode 144 [2/3]: Emily Ruhl: Religiously-defensible, divinely-supported genocide
Episode 145 [3/3]: Emily Ruhl: Religiously-defensible, divinely-supported genocide

My critic on the podcast:
Focus on the message, it's not that good. It's for the light-hearted one.
