Sadism of the powerless: I once wanted to sell my car. I did it through some big company because small ads weren’t working. The guy handling the deal said, “Say goodbye to your pride and joy.” It was sneery. I didn’t care, I’m not a car person. I just wanted ride of the car.

So, let’s not get too sentimental about the people at the bottom. Well, not THE bottom, things get a bit better at tramp level. It’s the petty sort who are the real sadists and torturers. Aristocrats are brutal, but they’re not sadistic generally.

The middle class are quite bad, but they’re a little more subtle in their sadism. They still crawl all over each other for the goods. The middle class also tend to value being “nice” or “kindly”, which is a virtue. Q: Is the sadism a cause or effect of low achievement?
