      That is absolute nonsense. Where does the idea that the nastiest expression of desires is the truest come from? It’s a completely absurd and unverifiable idea.

      People do stuff, putting people in power over others tends to result in the people doing worse stuff. The variable we can tweak here is the power.

        Power gives people the freedom to act as they choose, and they choose a lot of nastiness. Does it not make sense that unconstrained choices represent who a person truly is?
