1. Paul Bowles’s “The Sheltering Sky” (1949): This novel is an insight into the psychology of the prototypical “SJW”, particulary the type who go abroad & are raped or killed in a hostile environment. It even includes, the film anyway, the line, “We’re travellers, not tourists.”
2. Basically, three wealthy (husband, wife, & friend) Americans go to Morocco. What follows are affairs, prostitutes, and—if I recall correctly—some mild drug us. It ends with the husband dead and the wife being raped repeatedly.

3. What’s interesting about it is that the characters quite want these things to happen. There’s a kind of sick feeling in this novel that they masochistically want this to happen, because they’ve reached the end of experience in the mechanical world.

4. You could say it’s naivety. But I—and Paul Bowles—know human nature too well. It’s a death & rape wish that drives these characters forwards. That’s what underlies “SJWs” and many Westerners, I think. They want to die of a terrible illness and let their wife be raped.
