Why should I give up revenge? On behalf of what? Moral principles? And what of the higher order of things, in which evil deeds are punished?
For you, a philosopher and ethicist, an act of revenge is bad, disgraceful, unethical and illegal. But I ask: where is the punishment for evil? Who has it and grants access? The Gods, in which you do not believe? The great demiurge-creator, which you decided to replace the gods with? Or maybe the law?I know what evil is afraid of. Not your ethics, Vysogota, not your preaching or moral treaties on the life of dignity. Evil is afraid of pain, mutilation, suffering and at the end of the day, death!
The dog howls when it is badly wounded! Writhing on the ground and growls, watching the blood flow from its veins and arteries, seeing the bone that sticks out from a stump, watching its guts escape its open belly, feeling the cold as death is about to take them. Then and only then will evil begin to beg, ‘Have mercy! I regret my sins! I’ll be good, I swear! Just save me, do not let me waste away!’. Yes, hermit. That is the way to fight evil!
When evil wants to harm you, inflict pain – anticipate them, it’s best if evil does not expect it. But if you fail to prevent evil, if you have been hurt by evil, then avenge him! It is best when they have already forgotten, when they feel safe. Then pay them in double. In triple. An eye for an eye? No! Both eyes for an eye! A tooth for a tooth? No! All their teeth for a tooth!
Repay evil! Make it wail in pain, howling until their eyes pop from their sockets. And then, you can look under your feet and boldly declare that what is there cannot endanger anyone, cannot hurt anyone.
How can someone be a danger, when they have no eyes?
How can someone hurt when they have no hands?
They can only wait until they bleed to death.

- What Happens When a Children’s Entertainer Won’t Stay Apolitical
Ms. Rachel is the current example. She will not be the last. There is an unwritten contract between children’s entertainers and the public, and it is stricter than the one we impose on almost any other kind of celebrity. Musicians are allowed opinions. Politics is practically part of the job description. Actors get more room too, because their politics usually exist outside the work itself, … - Jesus, Empire and the Problem With Reclaiming What Was Never Ours Alone
There are essays you read and immediately know you disagree with. Then there are essays that make you uncomfortable precisely because you agree with enough of them to have to think harder about the parts you don’t. “The Paradox of Deification of Jesus Christ,” written by Lovemore Chishamba is the second kind. I have to say that I love the essay’s anger. That may sound … - Why Ms. Rachel Can’t Just Stop Talking About Gaza
Rachel Accurso built a $1 million donation career out of teaching toddlers how to say “mama,” identify farm animals and jump like bunnies. Her YouTube channel now has more than 21 million subscribers. There is a Netflix deal, a Sesame Street collaboration, merchandise, books and, this month, her first album, I’m So Happy. She has become one of the most recognisable faces in children’s entertainment. And yet, for the past two years, she has repeatedly found herself in the middle of one of the most vicious political arguments on the internet….
