There are many euphemisms when talking about the concept of "excessive justice", "dark justice", "extreme justice" and so forth. Justice taken to the extreme, to the detriment of all other virtues. I'm wondering if there is a simpler word, a single word, for this meaning – or something close to it. A desire to impose justice harshly and ruthlessly – that's the meaning, I suppose.
Thanks for your time.
