@AnarchoNinaWrites An almost supernatural level of repression and sublimation. Dog gnawing off leg caught in trap except trap is "has to live with other people in the world". Frenetic faith in the palliative nature of sufficient random violence, not excluding oneself, favoring in fact oneself for the convenience of proximity... Chuck Palahniuk as a prophet from within, Erik Fromm as an inquisitor from without, converging suspiciously in the center, accomplishing nothing.
