You make someone into a object of not so much of pity as of weakness, sickness, stupidity, inefectiveness, do you see what I mean? You hit them for their stupidity and their inability to respond, and when youve hurt them, marked them, theyre even more sick and ugly, arent they? And theyre afraid and cringing too. Oh, I know this isnt very pleasant, but you did ask.Go on he said.So youve got a frightened, stupid, even disabled person, silenced, made ugly, and what can you do with someone like that, someone whos unworthy of being treated well? You treat them badly because thats what they deserve. One thinks of poor little kids that no one love because theyre dirty, sovered in snot and shit, and always screaming. So you beat them because theyre hateful, theyre low, theyre sub-human. Thats all theyre good for, being hit, being reduced even further.
