It seems to me these two are two sides of the same coin, which I have likely said before. What I see now is that in general anger is expressed outwardly, and fear inwardly. And on the inside we do not call it fear. It exists not so much as a recognized attribute of our experience so much as an absence: the absence of innocent joy; the absence of trust; the absence of spontaneity; the absence of dance.
In this sense sadomasochism is sex plus fear. That is perhaps the simplest way of showing why it is wrong: it is by definition unhealthy, being the product of undesirable emotions.
So much of our culture induces fear. That is the role of alleged “news” programs which, if they were worth a damn, would regularly do in-depth analyses of the various cultural maladies of which the “news” is merely a temporal manifestation. Someone got shot. The interesting question is why. Why were they poor? Why were they so angry? Why were they in a gang?
Few drive by thoughts.
