Sodomy will forever confuse the human mind. Natural to homosexuals, to heterosexuals — especially in a homosexual context — it is a form of domination and humiliation. If you sodomize your enemy, you are celebrating (with hubris perhaps) how thoroughly you have defeated him.

And if you sodomize your heterosexual partner? Perhaps that, too, like choking or slapping, is a form of domination that appeals to those with power:

‘Anal sex is actually one of the most frequently requested things,’ says Susann from the Swiss Escort Avantgarde agency.

She added about the type of clients hiring escorts at the WEF: ‘These types of people consider themselves untouchable, which they often realistically are.’

‘In my experience, the higher a man’s professional/social rank, the lower his inhibition threshold for violence against women is.’

However, this tells you something about the type of power that they have: it is both laden with hubris (solipsism contra natural order and hierarchy) and unstable, since actual power does not need to demonstrate itself in a symbolic way; it simply exists, and acts only when needed to.

The people who need to exercise power visibly are those for whom without regular subjugation of others, that power would not be recognized, which means that it is weak power. It must be used to be actualized, and rules by terror and bribe instead of having achieved good results.

Grindcore — a hybrid between heavy metal, punk, and hardcore — captured the duality of sodomy as a means of subjugating the weak by those who are addicted to the interaction:

Far away from the city
Far away from civilization
A secret farm full of obscure persons
And full of weak cattle exists
Every morning the farmfather
Satisfied himself with the cattle

As Nietzsche reminded us in his slaves and masters riff, the master that needs a slave is a greater slave. The leader creates balance and beauty for the sake of the transcendental whole, and has no need to act out his power, since that above all else is trying to convince himself that he still has power.

This should lead us to ask what sort of people democracy and consumerism — a hybrid of free markets and socialist stimulus programs — are selecting to lead us. They seem to be unstable and therefore, prone to abusive cruelty.
