I guess this “cruelty” GP is talking about should be understood as “do what thou wilt” on the personal level. Or something like Nick Land’s anti-human “coldness”[0] on the societal level? Or maybe (what’s necessary to get to) the O9A’s[1] grand vision of a nazi-satanic galactic civilization? Making inroads but we’re definitely not there yet.
As for the sexual revolution, let’s talk about Alfred Kinsey, for a little bit of perspective: Apart from being funded by the Rockefellers from early on (go figure), committing academic fraud with malicious intent (performing “magick” on America and the world one might say), assembling a large collection of sexual blackmail material (now a familiar trope), working hard to normalize pedophilia (quite possibly being one himself), it is a little known fact that Alfred Kinsey was a deep admirer of Aleister Crowley: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/677651075150657182/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/677651075150657182/
There is, of course, much more to say about the sexual revolution and how it was engineered. And, given the topic at hand, by whom and why.

- pjc50 4y agoThe sexual revolution does not rest entirely on Kinsey, nor was it "engineered".

- MisterTea 4y agoThey didn't twist your words around. They merely refuted them.
- toolz 4y agoI'm not sure when something qualifies as "engineered" but since the rise of society their have been people and groups attempting to engineer social norms for their personal interests. I don't really have any opinions on whether this particular social phenomenon was successfully engineered or not, but there were most certainly interests attempting to engineer the western sexual revolutions (possibly unimportant but there are two distinct sexual revolutions in the west that modern historians often speak about).
- nine_k 4y agoI did not know who that Kinsey guy is (but I don't like Crowley). To my mind, the sexual revolution as we know it came with The Pill and with the new generation (traditionally) trying to reject some of the ossified norms of previous generations. The "summer of love" in 1968, and the general hippie attitude towards "free love" seems to have neither satanic / crowlean nor pedophilic overtones. Can't vouch for whatever sexual liberation movements there have been in early 20th century; there was a lot of anti-religion movement by then, from the Freudian approach to the outright militant anti-Chrisitianity of the Russian revolution.
