This post briefly discusses the sadists and psychopaths across history within the context of corporal punishment and other crimes against children. On a separate post titled “Corporal Punishments at Isis School“, I’ll tell you all about my own experience with such sadists and psychopaths in my time in Isis School.

Corporal Punishment in Children’s Literature

I would love to imitate the works of Roald Dahl and Charles Dickens. They had very colorful descriptions of corporal punishment in English schools and the various instruments of torture used by teachers.For those readers who enjoy voyeuristic pleasures on the torture of children using diverse instruments, they can read Dahl’s Matilda and his autobiographical novel Boy. Dickens’ Nicholas Nickleby is also a good read if you are looking for such ‘excitement’. Miss Trunchbull uses various instruments of torture to punish schoolchildren in Matilda. In other words, to be punished, the pupil must visit her room where she keeps the instruments of torture.

If you enjoy these books, you will soon find out that they pale in comparison to the works of Marquis de Sade. He lists abundant ways of torturing children. Worse, he also had a lot of copious types of instruments of torture, with the one better than the next at inflicting pain on defenceless child victims.

Marquis de Sade

Marquis de Sade, or rather the characters in his works, liked to use various kinds of torture instruments on the bare buttocks and other sensitive parts of young boys and girls. His characters used whips, switches, belts, cat-of-nine-tails, tawses, and canes among many others. 

Of course, I can’t refer to all these authors of ‘torturing children’, such as Dahl, Dickens and Sade without at least referring to some specific instances.

“While at Lacoste, De Sade procured the services of a woman who believed she was being hired as a maid. De Sade wasted little time tying her up, whipping her, and allegedly pouring hot oil into her wounds. Although, he claimed it was a healing ointment.”

This is just one arbitrary example. Even the lazy researcher can find thousands of other perhaps more relevant examples. Although this is just a random example I searched on Google, it includes the phrase “he claimed it was a healing ointment.”³³²

Sadists and Psychopaths in Scotland and England

It is well known that the Scottish education system is far superior to the English system. The Scottish education system also uses much more superior instruments of educational chastisement against children. In fact, this has resulted in a large industry in Scotland providing employment for many. For instance, the production of the Lochgelly tawse.³³⁷

Similarly, other schools that use canes as an instrument of torture need to store the canes. They also have to be bought. If other instruments of torture are used by schools, then these also have to be manufactured and bought. 

Sadists and Psychopaths at Present Time

Well, “Recollections” can soon become boring since history is often about the so-called ‘uncivilized’ peoples of the past. People often think about history like, “Thank God we are more enlightened now!” or along the lines of: “Humanity has made enormous progress—especially over the course of the last two centuries.”³³³ Is this true? 

British Prime Minister

The reader might even think I’m getting carried away here, or that this is all in the distant past. Well, it’s not in such a distant past that a former British prime minister, Mr. Bliar, admitted to sadistically enjoying smacking his own children³²⁹, and having wet dreams about murdering innocent men, women, and children (based on a lie).³³⁰

We can see how the aforementioned quote above echoes the old parental cliché of ‘This will hurt me more than it hurts you’ – a phrase used by Bliar when smacking his children, and when contemplating dropping atomic bombs on foreign countries for reasons based on obvious lies. 

The Welsh

However, we don’t have to go back to the twentieth century. The Welsh in 2022 have finally realised that physically abusing children is a criminal offence. This was perhaps half a century after such abuse was deemed illegal in a ‘minority’ of ‘advanced’ countries around the world. But as they say, perhaps better late than never).³³¹  

The Dictator

As of May 2022, the obvious example is the Russian regime’s ‘Massacre of the Innocents’, that is, the ‘rape, murder, and torture of the innocents’ in Ukraine (for the ‘good’ of the Russian and Ukrainian people).³³⁴ Not least, this has involved crimes against innocent children.³³⁵

Of course, criminal invasions are also about the torture, rape and murder of children by so-called ‘soldiers’.³³⁶ Thus, I have to re-write my previous statement that if you want to torture children become a teacher (or parent). The new proposition is: “If you want to ‘legally’ torture, rape and murder children then work for the Russian regime (to liberate the ‘oppressed’ peoples).”
