Does anybody like "Salo" (1975)?

I just wonder if there are some people out there with so much wealth and so much power that they think they are some kind of superior species, blessed by the gods or something, and think they are justified to do truly terrible things to those who have less. Are they really that bored or ungrateful with their good fortune?

Salo is an exploration of the depravity humans can be capable of when they feel they are immune to any consequences.
That's the reason the villains are wealthy higher ups in a large grand castle. They feel they are above the law.
Just because I'm not on THEIR side, doesn't mean I'm on YOURS. -

That is in line with the comment
@I love Hutch
made.
They were sick narcissists and psychopaths. People like that pay in the end, even if they may escape what we deem human consequence. They would meet horrible suffering deaths, or get tormented as they get older mentally.

"or get tormented as they get older mentally."

Oh, it's so creepy, but it's so true. These people don't even know that they are, at some level, hurting themselves most of all. These people are likely not deep thinkers. Or feelers. Zero empathy. They respond only to their own senses and their egos.
I was thinking about posting something about the terrible thing that is insanity and I think what you wrote here is very close to that.

It all boils down to vehement notion of self and aristocratic sense of superiority over others lives.
Being a world at war too, which is man's inhumanity to man as well, ethics and moral lines get blurred and we know these wars were designed at the time to also deplete the human population.

I never considered that before. Yuck.
In that case, us non-producing homos should be revered as Saviors!

No-one ever accredited the breeder with insight and common sense, only to themselves due to delusions of grandeur.
It worked in the establishment favor to have homosexuality a perversion, as it was used for blackmail purposes and apparently goes against the laws of nature and God's nature…
The easily brainwashed herd never questioned that nature creates us all and the breeder are the ones who create all human species.

….but it does have a point other than to just be disgusting.
I just feel with
Salo,
the disgustingness of it all, over-powers any message or point its making. It really wasn't too subtle and then masks itself as faux high art.
