I disagree to the point that corruption cannot see corruption... how could it be corrupt if it didn't know full well what it was doing?
Or are you meaning that the 'corrupt' person doesn't think they are doing something corrupt? That might be tenable But then how would they be corrupt in the first place...? As far as I am aware... corruption implies willingness... which implies that the person was aware and can be held accountable for their actions.
Grimlin thinks he means "self-destruction" as whatever-the-hell-I-want-it-to-mean. I think corruption easily sees corruption when the other is contrary or not in sync with the formers interests. It is human nature to ignore glaring issues in what you want while later harping and attacking perceived issues in another if it is sufficiently different from what you want. Selective vision at its finest.
Also explains a lot, for example, why many Christians make fun of Hare Krishnas and Scientologists as being "ridiculous" while believing in the many sundry surprises, leaps of illogic and silly creation myths of the Bible.
