#sadism — Public Fediverse posts

An “abnormal obsession with how he looks” and “In the abstract, it’s easy to convince a lot of people that it’s the height of manly fortitude to extol your own sadism as loudly as he [Kegsook] does. In practice, it looks not just immoral but pathetic: killing little girls and then not even having the guts to admit that you did.”

Of course this is going to hurt the #USA as well as #Canada

So what's the point?

The standard #sadism playbook is inflict #pain, increase #suffering, and tell people the #sadist is their salvation while the sadist's enemies are the real cause of their suffering

And there are enough #idiots

And the #sadists control enough of the #media

That it might work
