Humans, specific male ones, have an ancient joy in humiliating, torturing and killing other humans. Not to mention animals.
Women rejoice more in the psychological variants of sadism. Or they excell in colourful ways of self-hatred and masochism they want to impose on other women as “morally valuable” or “normal female behavior” ... in fact a specifically disgusting form of extended sadism also common in priests.
Yet of all the brutality, torture and violence humans love to commit on other humans those kinds of violence dull obedient slave and soldier types commit in the service of some state, organisation, institution, church, making ample use of that nice licence to brutality given by a “higher authority”, not even taking a hint of a personal risk, are the ones I hate most.
I do not believe in any post-mortal hell. But I do wish that those people, people who have maimed, humiliated, tortured, killed other human beings in the service of some brutal state, church, party, club or other, if not brought to justice (they rarely are), shall not have one happy minute till the day they die. Their spouses may leave them, their children may hate and deny them, they may live and die in utter loneliness, sickness, madness and poverty.
May the insane demons they serve never stop haunting them.
May they not know one night of sound healthy sleep.
May the all above forgive them. I can’t.
