Your Definition
The more sinister, intellectual cousin of rationalization. This involves constructing a rigorous, systematic, pseudo-logical or philosophical system to justify barbarism, turning atrocities into a deductive necessity. It uses formal arguments, twisted ethical frameworks, and specialized terminology to launder evil, making it appear as the cold, hard conclusion of an unstoppable logic rather than a human choice.
