human behavior will not make sense until and unless you accept that nothing about human nature has changed since the bronze age, when canaanite tribes sacrificed their children in fiery effigies to demons. neither has human nature since the antedeluvian world, where humans sacrificed their children to living, breathing giants who committed every imaginable sadistic act to humans and animals on an unimaginable scale before God flooded the world

to be concise-- a certain portion of humans will always fawn over cruel and vicious masters. and the more evil and depraved their master is, the more eager they are to appease that master.
