Sorry, but this is basically a justification for powerful, white cis men to be pigs, and there is already too much of that in the present day to add a long, philosophical attempt for rationalizing it.

Also, the lengthy fragments of Sade and Rabelais are unnecessary. Those texts are easily available to anyone who wants to read them (I did in my teens, for God's sake! and found them a mix of boring and disgusting TBH) and they are here only as extra titillation :/

Yeah, sorry, not sorry. This is not my cup of tea.
