In my reply to my question about any examples of any aircraft of any type in any airforce that was stable enought to meet your requirements and your reply

It is a situation where the the aircraft moves toward the trim condition but increases the force on the axis of motion so that it overshoots the mark.

Eventually, the forces will overload the aircraft and it will destroy itself.
I take it that your reply is a very long way of saying no, you have no examples.

The words you have written are as far as I can ideological rubbish and would depend on the pilot being stupid enough to overcompensate with every oscillation. Nothing to do with examples which I take it you cannot supply.
