Torture in Interrogations: Analogous to Gambling Rings Set Up to Allow for "Betting" on Institutionalized Rape

In some of these recent postings, I've discussed the similarities between the use of "government-sanctioned" torture and ongoing rape or attempted murder, given that many people who are tortured end up dying during or as a consequence of the torture. The dehumanization and viciousness of this type of treatment of people, by these types of pathetic pieces of trash, is more or less analogous to the setting up, by a government, of some sort of "private gambling ring," in which people gamble that the damage that might result from their decision to continue the torture is likely to be outweighed by the few scraps of garbage that they collect during the torture. Anyone who isn't an illiterate hillbilly knows that information collected through the use of torture isn't reliable, and so these people are gambling that the life of the person being tortured is worth just about nothing. It's not an intelligent gamble to make, especially given the appallingly-large number of workers in, for example, the US government who are more or less functionally retarded. I don't know why anyone would think that some bunch of hillbillies with big goddamn buck teeth who thpeek with lithpth like thith because they're so goddamn stupid, the fucking goddamn trash, affiliated with the US government or another government, should be going around engaging in acts that are, in my opinion, nearly indistinguishable from rape and then gambling on the possible outcomes of the torture. In the case of some of the things these people are talking about, such as the use of waterboarding (no I'm not going to explain what the fuck this means, you stupid goddamn dumb-shit hillbillies), they're basically talking about hooting and hollering at the people being raped and marching around on the Sunday talk shows or whatever, giving little bits of "gamblers' wisdom" to the public. I don't know why I bother writing this stuff, when nobody gives a shit about anything anymore.

I'm supposed to believe that these US government agencies, with billions of dollars at their disposal and national laboratories and all of these years and years and years and years and years and so many years are unable to get their goddamn acts together enough to act like human beings, instead of running around and coming up with elaborate, bullshit excuses for pouring out their disgusting hatred and ugliness on helpless "detainees"? How many years have you had to get your goddamn fucking act together, you goddamn fucking trash. Look at what you are, and then think about the absurdity of hanging around, torturing someone, and trying to "throw your pathetic weight around." And during the time you bark some coward's statement of abuse at someone being held in some fucking chicken-shit prison in another country, a trillion years of evolution and horror pass by, before I can finish snapping my fingers, and the best thing you can come up with is to hide in some medieval dungeon and torment some prisoner and tell him or her that he or she might be there for years and that no one's coming to help. You had all of those trillions of years to learn to use your power in something resembling a decent way, and you pissed it all away so you could try to teach some half-unconscious prisoner some little half-retarded lesson and try to bully the person into giving up his lunch money, so to speak. It's a weak and pathetic bunch of people who lie all the time and act like they've got a bunch of big, grand secrets that no one could handle knowing about. People who are truly powerful can always come up with flexible ways of dealing with new issues or problems. Powerful people don't have to hide in goddamn dungeons because powerful people didn't find power under a rock and steal it and then pretend to be doing people a favor by tormenting them with the hope of access to the power that no one ever had a right to restrict in the first place, from any person, you cheap little shabby-minded garbage. What the fuck do you do all day, for Christ's sake? Stare at the wall and jump around like animals and squawk like vultures when you steal other people's ideas, because you're too fucking stupid to come up with any of your own? It's like some bunch of kids who are playing games and  then get caught stealing or something and then give their parents the silent treatment. It's like someone who's throwing a goddamn temper tantrum and then trying to blame the victim of the torture or coming up with a bunch of bullshit to supposedly "justify" the use of torture. Anyway, anyone who has any intelligence knows that these types of actions would never be defensible, within the framework of the US constitution, but it doesn't seem like very many people have a good sense of the constitution anymore. Maybe if they didn't spend so goddamn much time in hillbillyville or whatever the fuck you want to call it--just "North" or "West" of the L4 and L5 Earth-Sun Lagrange regions, where the farmland begins or where the weathermen's radar can't reach or whatever bunch of stupid dummy lingo you want to use to describe "hayseed-ville" or "fireside-chat-based-idiotville" or something. I'm sure as hell not going to rehash all of the thousands of pages of reasoning that one would need to rehash, in order to discuss this kind of garbage.

Systems in Which People Are Suffering in Profound Ways: Are There Any "True" Rationales for Sustaining The Systems?

Whenever something is causing someone to suffer in unspeakable ways, people are always eager to come up with a litany of pitiful little chicken-shit excuses and explanations, few of which have any basis in reality, when one looks closely at the reasoning. It's difficult to discuss a lot of these contexts that have relevance to the discussion, given the ways in which stupid people pile on layers and layers of garbage into bureaucracies and "economic" systems and so on. In the case of my recent discussions on the use of torture in "interrogations," the discussions provide a useful context in which one can examine individuals' attitudes toward the supposed abuse of power. When a person is tortured, one or a few people have decided to engage in unspeakable violence against another person. Additionally, the decision to continue the violence that, in my opinion, is closely analogous to continuous sexual assault or continuous, ongoing attempted murder, at least from a "conceptual" standpoint, is a decision that one or a few people are likely to make. Anyway, I can't really continue to discuss this stuff. Maybe if I had the slightest bit of respect for torturers, I could calmly and coldly discuss and explore the topic in more depth. The use of torture is morally reprehensible, and anyone who comes up with some rationale for its use is a goddamn stupid piece of trash and isn't worth knowing. Anyone who uses it or allows it to continue is, in fact, in my opinion, making an explicit statement that he or she believes that the use of torture has some value to it, even when he or she does not provide a verbal explanation of his or her supposed "rationales" for its use. In a different sense, however, anyone who claims to have a rational purpose for the use of torture, other than to pour out his or her hatefulness and participate in systematic abuse, is unlikely to be someone who is being honest, with himself or herself, about his or her reasons for supporting or participating in its use. When someone has the power to stop the use of torture and fails to do so, the person is, in my opinion, behaving, in some ways, on the level of some street criminal, running around shooting people or something. Even if there's nothing technically "illegal" about its use, it's something that just is profoundly unacceptable. Torturers like to go around blaming the person being tortured and trying to say that the person being tortured isn't doing enough to help himself or herself. But when the discrepancy in power is as nearly-absolute as it is in the case of the torturer-victim "relationship" or interaction, it's not ever going to be true, in my view, that the person being tortured can "do something positive," such as to reveal "information," to help himself or herself. Stupid people always set up things that they've "gotta do" and then put on a little goddamn show of bewilderment when people expect them to act in something resembling a reasonable or decent manner.

I'll never understand why small-minded, jealous, pathetic people like to go around bullying others, but I guess it goes along with the whole militaristic notion that one has to make things abusive because things were abusive for the previous generation, etc. One can say it's just the old "cycle of abuse" and that, for example, the educational system or prison system is an imperfect and oppressive system that there's no easy solution for. It's not my goddamn job to write things, on a blog that no one reads, about the reasons things "would be," in a real context, so much more terrible than people "would be likely to realize," in the event that I were someone writing a blog in a context I could understand. If one uses the old "government-access-to-time-travel-technology" concept, as an example of an extreme case of one group having almost unlimited power and the rest of the people having essentially no hope of ever having any power, the reality would be that no one who had ever committed a crime or experienced abuse or any other horrible thing would ever have had to experience any of those things. No one would be guilty of any crime, and no one would ever have had to die or suffer. In the case of the use of torture, one sees a situation that is not so different from that situation. In other areas and aspects of society, such as in the "educational" system, one also sees similar discrepancies in power, even in the absence of advanced technology. No one would have had to spend any time in a classroom, but that's beside the point, apparently. That's of no interest to any "big decision maker" who prances around like some piece of shit, making the "big decisions" about people's lives and parcelling out suffering and little smidgens of pleasure, as if human emotions are just things or extradimensional geometries. When a person gets to be a big decision maker, apparently, allowing a person to continue being raped for another few days or weeks is "no big deal." Meanwhile, people are screaming on the floor of the emergency room, in unspeakable pain, begging to see something resembling a characteristic of a living being, and the "wise old decision makers" "gotta" stick to their fucking bullshit plan of sexual torture and all manner of inhuman abuse. I'm supposed to believe there's not a goddamn thing anyone can do about the 60 percent graduation rate among high school students or the failure of the educational system to teach whatever percent of students to read and write? Whenever someone has a tremendous amount of power and is in a position of control over the lives of people who are in tremendous pain, as so many young people are, for example, in the educational system, there's something that's gone terribly, terribly wrong. "Why didn't you finish your essay, little Johnny Doe? What? Speak up when I talk to you! You slipped on a banana peel and fractured three vertebrae? Well, I'm not your mother, Johnny. Get a goddamn note from the doctor. I sure as hell won't believe that it actually happened, given that you're a young person and all."

I remember that, during one semester in college, I got infectious mononucleosis (from Epstein-Barr virus infection) and had autoimmune liver damage and severe, autoimmunity-driven neurological problems, due to the viral infection. Whenever one has any health problems as a young person, few people are able to offer anything but a callous sense of bewilderment. I remember communicating with an organic chemistry professor who said to me "I'm not your mother," when my skin was yellow and I was stumbling around because of reductions in blood flow to parts of my brain, caused by the thrombogenic blood disorder that the infectious mono had produced. I could barely walk across the room, and it was like pulling teeth to try to retake a fucking exam or whatever. I was able to easily get a note from my doctor, but many people might not as easily have been able to get one. Anyway, that's just one example, and the months and years go on. People are still screaming on the floors of the emergency rooms, with open wounds, and all the big decision-makers have to offer are statements about "access to care" or some such thing. All of the people screaming in pain aren't interested in or capable of listening to "reminders" about bureaucratic bullshit or the kinds of goddamn bold-faced lies that one so frequently hears, these days, in the media. You don't give lectures or yammer about lesson plans to people with open wounds, you fucking goddamn trash.

A "Cult-of-Management" Mindset Behind Acts of Obscene Violence by Torturers and Other Practitioners of Systematic Violence, During "Interrogations"

The dumb pieces of trash that run around and come up with justifications for the use of torture in interrogations tend to not be very capable of thinking carefully about anything, but a person who goes around torturing people tend to "unconsciously" or consciously assume that he or she can manage the consequences of his or her actions. It's sort of like the person thinks that he or she is "weighing" the risks that he or she will be held accountable against the expectations that he or she will accrue "benefits" from the malicious and premeditated violence. Anyone who has any intellectual capacity should be able to see, as I've discussed in recent postings, that the use of torture in interrogations can be viewed as being analogous to either a continuous sexual assault or to a continuous form of attempted murder or both, given the way in which all of the hopes and rights of the person being tortured are utterly disregarded by the people engaging in the torture. Everyone decries the behaviors that the Nazis engaged in, by imprisoning and torturing (and, subsequently, murdering them) people, without charges, in concentration camps, in part because of the torture and subsequent murder and also because of the ways in which the Nazis singled out specific groups of people and tried to blame Jewish people and other groups of people for all of the ills of the Nazi society that had become so devoid of life and humanity. People who defend the use of torture in interrogations of people who are suspected to be terrorists are using, essentially, the same types of approaches and forms of reasoning that people in Nazi Germany used, when they rounded up Jewish people for the purposes of torturing and murdering them. The main difference is that, today, the approach is used to round up fewer people, on a smaller scale, and to, supposedly, torture mainly people who are not US citizens. For some reason, I think that many people buy into the notion that people who were not born in the US should not expect to be kept out of concentration-camp-like secret prisons and tortured in appalling ways, as they are likely to be, in my opinion.

The "managerial" mindset that is sort of implicit in the notion that one can "prudently" use torture to sustain all of the wonderful aspects of life in the US is very disturbing to me, in part because there is this notion that one can find coldly-rational uses for extreme violence. It is sometimes helpful to look at things in new ways, and one way to look at the use of torture in interrogations is to ask oneself if one would be upset if government interrogators were taking women from other countries to secret prisons and raping them for years, continuously, while making money off of a "gambling" operation, connected to the public sexual assault, and paying people to come up with ever-more-abusive statements that they might shout at the woman being assaulted, so as to intensify the psychological damage being inflicted. Is a man less susceptible than a woman to the damaging effects of prolonged sexual assaults? People certainly seem to think that it's A-ok for men to be raped in prison, and some assumptions that could be said to go along with that notion, about men, are that the psychological health of men is less fragile than that of women (this is a very commonly-held notion, even among psychologists whose thinking is enlightened or "progressive") and that the men must have done something to cause them to be imprisoned and to lose their basic, human rights. Particularly in the case of a male detainee who is being held in a secret prison without charges, these assumptions are unlikely to be true. Thus, if one is willing to accept the notion that chronic, sexual violence is no less heinous when perpetrated against men than against women, one can begin to look at the use of torture in a way that is different from the way in which people commonly frame the discussion of the use of torture. The similarity of the use of torture to a continuous, sexual assault is appropriate, in my opinion, because, as I have discussed, the set of cognitive responses that govern the person's sources of pleasure, or reward, and pain are being hijacked and controlled, during torture, in a systematic and vicious way and are being coupled with inherently-unmanageable, physical violence. To torture a person physically is to engage in the absolute violation of the person's mind and body by shattering the most basic aspects of life that a person needs to be a human and to have anything resembling a life. A person needs to feel that he or she can have physical privacy in his or her body and that someone is not going to use the person's most basic desires and fears against that person. One of the reasons that people think the crime of rape is especially heinous is that rape involves the violent control of a person's most basic physical and mental processes. It is characterized by the profound violation of a person's sense of personal, physical and mental boundaries. Within the context of the use of torture during interrogations, a commonly-accepted notion is that the person can "work" to extricate himself or herself from the assaults by revealing information. Of course, in my opinion, this is never true, given the open-ended quality of torture and given the fact that torturers use psychological manipulation to strip away a person's will and a person's hope of ever being released. When one considers this type of perspective and also considers that government workers would probably have to have set up a sophisticated information-gathering system and collected detailed information about the specifics of a person's knowledge and social habits and communications, in order to even suspect that a person would, at a particular time, possess specific knowledge about a specific set of plans [(http://hardcorephysiologyfun2.blogspot.com/2011/07/presentation-of-false-choices-and.html)], the notion that the purpose of torture is to extract information is, in a real sense, not true, in my opinion. When one uses this type of reasoning, one can expose the use of torture as being the obscene form of, essentially, purposeless abuse that it, in my view, actually is. After one begins to see torture for "what it is," it is possible to see that a torturer who tells a detainee that he or she can "help himself/herself" by answering the questions honestly or truthfully or "correctly" (something the person is unlikely to ever be able to do, in the eyes of the torturer) is basically someone who is shouting and sneering at a person being sexually assaulted, saying things such as "How can you let them do that to you?" or "Why don't you get yourself out of that situation, you stupid fool" or some such thing. I realize that this is a disturbing way of looking at the use of torture, but it should disturb people that anyone could support the use of government-sanctioned, "purposeless" violence of this magnitude.

Of course, as I was saying, extreme violence can never really have any purpose to it, and the notion that one can make cold, calculating, rational assessments of the supposed benefits of obscene forms of violence, such as the use of torture in interrogations, compounds the violence and, in my opinion, undermines many of the most basic, foundational "elements" of human society. On some level, I think that torturers are aware of the extremely-unacceptable aspects of the violence, and the decision to "do it anyway" amounts to a kind of calculated "devaluation" of the life of the particular individual being tortured. Does anyone believe that people are going to engage in appalling acts of violence, even in the absence of any evidence that the person has ever committed any crime, and then turn around and do wonderful things, using all of the wonderful pieces of bullshit "intelligence" that they have obtained through the use of that violence? In my view, people who go around making calculated determinations that such-and-such a person's self and life, referring to the person's most personal and intimate, human characteristics and traits and feelings that make the person human, can be assumed to be worth exactly nothing, ostensibly for some "limited" duration of time, are unlikely to have much regard for the basic characteristics of human life in general. But, hey, that's just my opinion. I don't see how one can exhibit absolute contempt for human life, with one set of people, on the one hand, and then claim to be turning around capitalizing on that contempt (using all of the "good things" that one has obtained through the exhibition of that contempt), as a way of defending or sustaining the social framework that allows people to expect to have basic human rights.

Torture as the Absolute Abandonment of All Characteristics of Living Beings: A Fun, Heartwarming, Fictional Story

In an exploration of the "street-thug-style" lies that many proponents of the use of torture throw around, it might be helpful to consider a "fictional" account of the most extreme picture of torture that one could devise. The most extreme torture scenario I can think of is one in which people who have access to time travel technology come around, after having left a "scientist" to suffer in a shithole life while they had been prancing around their "future" or "other-event-frame" paradise, and try desperately to get the scientist to kill himself. Keep in mind that this is a fictional account, sort of like a sitcom set in a concentration camp in Nazi Germany. Given that no one seems to be interested in knowing anything real or true, I like to emphasize that and sort of offer something that there is some demand for--namely, fun, fictional accounts of people abandoning all of the characteristics that even the lowest animal life forms have and subjecting a person to obscene forms of violence, unapologetically, and coming up with a bunch of goddamn bogus bullshit to supposedly justify their treatment of the scientist. I consider myself to be a jewish person, by the way, and I can goddamn well speak about the types of sick sitcoms that these fucking people would like to watch. The people who have access to the time travel technology have obviously learned to read people's minds, and they use this technology to continuously violate the scientist's body, in what amounts to a constant sexual assault (given that a person's mind is part of a person's goddamn body). If the scientist has sexual thoughts on a particular topic, the people set up holographic people who have loud conversations, laughing about the specifics of the scientist's thoughts. Whenever the scientist thinks of possible explanations for the actions of these people, the people honk a horn or cause a person nearby the scientist to clear his or her throat, always in confirmation. The people tell the scientist to continue to work on theoretical physics and to do various related "chores," and the people repeatedly "confirm" that they will soon give the scientist access to their medical technology, to give him access to the time travel technology (and, obviously, interstellar and intergalactic, instantaneous transport, using much-more-advanced-than-magnetic-reconnection-and-nuclear-grid-based-superluminal transport mechanisms, for time travel and interstellar travel) and fix his chronic, more-or-less-devastating health problems that have plagued him for the previous 15 years of his life. Almost as soon as they arrive in his life, however, they give him a mind-altering drug, which seems to be something like LSD, of some kind that enhances the power of suggestion and allows them to very transiently make him believe they are some sort of God or gods, and then they give him an antipsychotic medication against his will, as a punitive measure, and deride his religious beliefs and make fun of him for having believed that they were communicating on behalf of God. The administration of the antipsychotic medication twice, for even two-to-three days, causes rhabdomyolysis during exercise and causes him to barely be able to walk for a day or two, because of severe neurological complications from the intense, almost-insurmountable, cerebral vasoconstriction that the administration of the drug produces. He begs them to never give him the medication again and tells them that he had had a subarachnoid hemorrhage seven years previously and that he could easily have another stroke, if they ever give him the drug again, and, although they do not subsequently give the drug, they continuously threaten to do so, for no discernable reason other than to dominate him.

Soon, it becomes clear that the people are confirming everything he thinks or believes and are lying about everything, and they still refuse to speak to the scientist openly about the time that the nightmare might end. The scientist soon realizes that the people have attached a negative, aversive response to every single word one or phrase one might encounter in everyday life, through the use of repeated phrases that have been very, very precisely coupled to the timing of his thoughts and to the times and places at which he might encounter those thoughts. The scientist realizes that he could never speak to anyone about this, for fear of being labeled delusional or for being suspected of being in a hallucinatory state, and the people make this abundantly clear and continually make minor threats to sue the scientist or the like, none of which he takes seriously. As time goes on, however, it becomes clear that the people deliberately ruined his past relationships and that they are preventing him from meeting women or having any semblance of a real life. As the scientist does work that is "implied," simply from the knowledge that the Michaelson-Morley ether wave experiment was basically inappropriately disregarded and that "past" and "future" time frames are intact, in large part, it becomes clear that nothing the scientist could ever do in his or her life time would come close to even the most basic technology that the people have always had access to.

As the psychological damage, stemming from the constant violation of his mind, accumulates, the scientist realizes that any notion that the people could ever need him to do anything is a lie, given the ease with which the people can manipulate his choices with great subtlety and sophistication. The scientist cannot ever choose to do anything, given that they will know everything he will ever do or say or think, in the absence of his having access to their technology, before he ever thinks or says or knows it. It becomes clear that the scientist played some sort of meaningful role in the development of the time-travel and other faster-than-light technologies, although it's unclear to the scientist what, precisely, that role was or is. Whenever the scientist does anything, the people criticize him and deride him and cause people, in public, to make explicit references to unmistakably-personal details from his life and his thoughts. Still more bizarrely, it becomes evident that the entire world that the scientist sees is some sort of holographic, simulated "world" and that only a past girlfriend is able to know his personal thoughts. Although this provides comfort for awhile, it becomes evident that she is also a prisoner of some sort and has been "saddled" with some sort of bizarre, hate algorithm that generates hateful and abusive content, in the form of ads on television and conversations of people in public, almost like a word processor would impose a given format, such as to convert one font into another, on a chunk of text in a document. As the months go by, the analogy of the experience to physical torture becomes more and more apt, as the devastating stress and deterioration of his physical health begin to take their toll. The people tell him to throw away all of his music and all of his photographs from his childhood and the 2000+ pages of notes on theoretical physics and tell him that, if he does so, they will allow him to control his physical body, with the use of their technology, and thereby end his chronic health problems and allow him to see his girlfriend and to use their transport technology, to do anything he could ever dream of doing. He does so, and they do nothing. He begs them to stop the torment, but they intensify it and laugh at him and become more malicious and hateful in their statements, as they imply, multiple times per day, that the only way for him to gain access to the technology is to kill himself (given that it is their "custom" for people to do this to join their organization or some nonsense). They know that he doesn't believe anything they say and won't kill himself for a bunch of sadistic hillbillies, but they say it anyway. It's enough for them to know that they can keep reminding him that they have absolute control and that he has no hope left of ever being given what no human being should ever have been prevented from having access to. The scientist learns that the specific geometries in which cities have been built and the movements of people, during wars and into and out of stadiums for sporting events, would have been set up (if he had been in "real" spacetime, in the time frame that he has lived in) for no other reason than to facilitate superluminal/time-travel jumps, like a crude sort of counterweight. But the technology is far more advanced than all that, the scientist learns, and the days and months continue.

The appeal of exploring all of the details of the science fades more and more, and the scientist sees the similarity of his situation to that of a woman being raped for months, continuously, while people sit in some stadium and watch, shouting out things that might be analogous to "why do you let them do that to you, you dumb fool. Stand up for yourself--get yourself out of that" or "turn your head a little to the left, darling--you'll look better that way." The scientist realizes that, even though his girlfriend is nearby, she might just as well not be there at all, given that the people won't even let the scientist have a relationship with her in the body of another woman (as an "avatar" or, as they say, "gravatar"). Ultimately, the scientist realizes that he has never spoken to another living human, outside of a simulated, scripted, holographic world, and he realizes that there is no possibility for resistance or lack of resistance to this kind of domination and that there is nothing left at all, really, and he understands less and less, as time goes on, of the people's supposed "motivations." He realizes that he is smarter than the people but that they are content to dominate him for an indeterminate and unending period of time. They tell him that all he needs to do is scrub the walls down, to improve the resolution of his image in the fucking magnetic caging effect of this perceptual prison that some damn person put him in, for God's sake, but they know that he knows it isn't true and is absurd. Anyway, there's a fun piece of fiction. Maybe I'll submit it to some goddamn literary journal or some fucking thing.

What is the Actual Motivation for Torturing People?

As I've said, there's not much point in talking about any of this, given that these people who go around engaging in torture are beyond all reason and have no regard for life. It's as if they've been removed from anything resembling human life for such a terribly long time that they can't grasp the most basic concepts that living, human beings use to make sense of things and to interact. It's not a different philosophy that causes a person to do something so horrific, and a lust for authoritarianism is not enough to cause a person to do these types of things. There's some kind of irrationality that can overtake people who have been in power, and it's an irrational sense that their own interests and methods should seem not just correct to others but should be endlessly-understandable. People who become part of some sort of appalling system of violence are bewildered by anyone who finds the system to be unbearable and to shatter the most basic type of framework that any human society has to be based on, if it's going to endure in any meaningful way. One example of this is in the educational system, and I will not just stop criticizing the educational system because my criticisms are upsetting to some people, evidently. When every student who participates in the educational system finds the system to be tremendously oppressive and no student has any capacity whatsoever to voice his or her criticism, without hurting himself or herself, there is something very, very wrong, and one sees this type of absolute silencing of groups of people in social "constructs" or contexts or whatever--in hierarchies--that have become corrupted in serious ways. Anyway, one can develop all sorts of elaborate justifications for one's actions, but, when you think you "know better" than another person or group of people and you find yourself interacting with a person who is in a desperate state and who has no hope of ever reaching anyone (upsetting as this is for some people to hear, this describes many, if not most, students in educational institutions), you have to be willing to look critically at yourself and your approaches. There's something very wrong, when one has so, so much power and can't offer anything more than desperation and pain to those whom one is bossing around.

Callous Indifference to Horrific Suffering as Evidence of Pathology

I'm not one who's inclined to define very many human behaviors as being overtly pathological, given the deep problems in many areas of medicine, for example. But if there's one behavior that's inhumanly-cruel, it's the displaying of stubborn, irrational indifference to a person who is being subjected to horrifically-painful treatment, such as through the use of torture by some fucking piece-of-garbage hillbilly monkeys who never knew what it was to experience real emotions in the first place. It's not ever acceptable to exhibit extreme indifference to human suffering, when one has so much power to stop it. I'm sorry some people have gone so terribly wrong in their actions as to do these things, but these are human beings and not things to be stored in medievalistic prisons. I shouldn't have to say these things. Shame on people who would treat human beings this way. Shame on you.
