If you read about their beliefs, they are atheists. They recognize no gods outside themselves. This is what I intend when I speak of Cultural Sadeism. These people may be politically active. What direction would they go? Logically, in any direction which weakens religion, the family, and all cultural forms which are not principally ego-oriented, which is to say narcissistic. The Left, obviously, has this as a goal as well, with the nihilism of the true Sadeists being a perfect match.
If you reject morality IN PRINCIPLE, why would it be wrong to eat babies? Would eating babies, on the contrary, not signal “liberation”?
Watch. Listen. Feel yourself. We all have evil in us. Some feed it in ignorance, and some starve it in wisdom.
My rules, again:
1) Never feel sorry for yourself
2) Never relent in your pursuit of qualitative pleasure, which is a deep, fulfilling happiness of living with gratitude, purpose, and connection.
3) Breath perceptually. Be always aware of the totality of your feelings, those of others, and what effects your actions, thoughts, and emotions have on you and others. Seek what releases you, and realize that cruelty imprisons you. Anyone can see this, if they look without cowardice.
