I really love your videos. I'd love to see more, particularly on the following topics: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, with particular focus on Positive Christianity (or Nazi Christianity) and how most of the rest of the Confessing Church did *not* speak out against the persecution of the Jews, caring only about Hitler's desire to replace Jesus with himself. (Unlike others around him, Bonhoeffer did speak up for the Jews.) Charles Coughlin, with particular focus on the prevalence of white Christian nationalism and Nazism in the USA leading up to WWII. Key feminist icons, such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Emmeline Pankhurst, and others -- with a focus on any support for terrorism and explicit examples of misandry and false historical narratives in their writings. As we all know, the political extremes are tearing societies apart. However, most people don't understand the long history of the two biggest and most extreme players: White Christian Nationalism and Feminism.

The big, mad witch burning epidemic was more Switzerland in the 16th century and the Holy Roman Empire part of Germany and more17th century. The Pendle witch trial in the UK was early 17th century. In England about 500 ‘witches’ were executed in the late 16th-early 17th century. All by hanging unless they also killed their husbands which meant being burned at the stake. In France it was also mostly 17th century with about 800 being executed - not at the stake I don’t think. Sceptical kings in France and jurists in England basically stopped most of it in the late 17th century but more rural distant areas could get away with stuff!

Just that the Marquis was not a sociopath. Instead, he wrote his political manifestos out of compassion with the victims of society and he cared for the persons he was close to. Would his wife have visited him in jail if there had not be at least a close friendship? Socionpaths/psychos can be dangerous, but he was neither. Just daring enough to live perversion. Did he kill anyone? Did anyone get physically hurt?

I was about 15 years old when I read Sade for the first time. Speechless is not strong enough to describe the state the book has put me into. I couldn't stop wondering why it is considered to be literature and not just pornography. Then I was told about his "grateness" and that is a punch to the stomach to society's hypocrisy etc, etc....OK! Even so, one book like that would be enough; he could take another route, he had the talent to do so. Sarcasm, criticism and so forth can be established with so many ways. In my humble opinion, he was just describing his fantasies. As for the critics for the movies, "masterpiece" was one of the terms used and it just added to my belief that those who "judge" movies, get exited by whatever they don't comprehend. As I have already said, just my humble opinion.

If he was just writing his fantasies, why would he even bother to add this massive amount of extra material.? Much of the writing is an expression of his anger and hatred of the hypocrisy of those, in many areas of French society, taking part in the same activities, and yet, not being taken to account for it, while he is left imprisoned.

Beyond simply _"mired in controversy",_ The Marquis was mired in a caliber of extremely perverted behavior that has rightfully born his infamous namesake for nearly 300 years = *Sadism* and *Sadistic....* To suggest that his graphic "literary achievements" were not a form of blatantly advocating such condoned perversion is, IMO, a rather derelict misunderstanding of his fully documented intentions. And intentions fully realized _'In The Flesh'_ for decades that finally / rightfully landed him in prison....!!! 🧐 Subsequent historical attempts to "venerate" de Sade's misogynistic and masochistic aberrations is Hard Evidence of just how depraved and deeply deviant much of larger societies actually ARE.... behind the mask of "civility". 😱

@AndyJarman 17 күн бұрын

You don't think that punishing people by throwing them in jail is Sadistic in itself? There is a dark shadow in the minds of people who are gratified by punishing others with pain and bondage. The "justice" system is based upon the Sado-Masochistic impulse. The contemporary "Social Justice" movement is based upon the idea we are all oppressed by invisible forces. This gives us permission to in turn oppress and abuse others. Christianity was a revolutionary movement in this regard. Rather than justice through revenge, it advocated responsibility for one's own emotions, rooting out the ill intent within one and instead choosing to understand maladaptive behaviour as the expression of an unconscious need for recognition of the self.

@evaleyst 5 күн бұрын

Why should he be rightfully in prison: Did he kill anyone? You just don't like what he wrote, you don't have to. Masochism is not an aberration. Was he misogynistic? We should research the attitudes of his time; I think he was rather ahead of it. We cannot judge him by the moral of our age. If you think that anyone should be jailed because your moral does not allow his writing, you might have a brillant career in one of the dictatorships of today.

His severest critics were just plain hypocrites ...as though the French court and aristocratic society were not already rife with libertinism. Reminds me of Oscar Wilde who died in prison. Fascinating , TY❤

@michaelhall596 18 күн бұрын

Oscar Wilde died in Paris, after he had finished his sentence of hard labor at Reading Jail, but in a way you are right, he was a broken man after being abandoned by family and friends, and jail broke him, so yes, he, his spirit did die in jail, his last words were said to be "either this wallpaper goes, or I do" who breaks a butterfly on a wheel? ❤

Because they werent. Read the "120 days of Sodom" and see for yourself. Watching movie adaptations of a book isnt the same as reading said book. There is a reason why it is called "adaptation". The 120 days, in contrast to his other works, isnt an easy read and yes, especially the later days are taxing and should not be read out of context or by a mentally unstable or morally undeveloped person but it is quite an insight to the mind,- and to his mind specifically. And yes, I read it,- read all of his works.

There was no real age of consent in the 1760s. The English brought in an age of consent of 12 in Victorian Times but nonces were never arrested for their crimes. I can guarantee you that Pasolini ensured all his actors were 16 or over in Salo and all the sex scenes are simulated. It's just typical 1970s envelope-pushing. The shit eating.and pissing are not real. Pasolini was a director trying to make a point about fascism, consumerism etc.

If he was just fantasizing through his literary work about some more or less appalling actions - it could be said that the ideas and critics of contemporary French society were the main thing in his writings and all the perversion just a side show. To me, he always came of as a deviant who, when he was laying low or being imprisoned, did exactly the opposite - wrote a bunch of stuff as a way to live out his fantasies the only way he could in those moments - in his mind. P.S. Gilles De Rais also possibly wrote some memoirs or maybe even some short stories depicting the times he lived in. We should consider ourselves lucky then that, if he did, nothing survived. Who knows if we wouldn't be debating today some of the finer points of his work, ready to consider dead servants and children as a metaphor.

The difference between the brothers Grimm and de Sade is that de Sade had actually committed the acts he describes in his book. This is why is writings are not considered allegories. His 120 Days or Sodom is eerily comparable to the 1996 exposure of what the elite of the world do when they gather in secret at the Chateau des Amerois in Belgium. Perhaps he was writing the truth which is too difficult for intellectuals to accept and therefore they choose to overlay it with the cloak of allegory.
