In regards to cartel lore, it’s actually ISIS to blame. Cartels took notice of when that demon “Jihadi John” was cutting people’s heads off on camera more than a decade ago and thought it was the ultimate intimidation tactic. So they adopted it. From there they continued to try to one-up each other in terms of torture
They were all normal people once, gullible dumb kids. Turned into a bunch of psychopaths with no rules living on probably huge amounts of meth
I personally think it’s their hardcore drug use that will prevent them from ever getting tired of the extreme barbarism and going back to simple executions again
