This is mainly about this photographic memory of mine. I tend to remember images especially when they are shocking and/or interesting. So here is an image from the late 90’s:

As a spiritual person I don’t really make a distinction between right wing nationalism of any kind and the middle-eastern style religious fanaticism.
Technically it’s exactly the same thing. The ego likes to associate with a larger type of ego in a cult like situation. Psychologists refer to this as enmeshment. So just like when it’s integrated in a cult. It simply likes to be integrated in this greater “I” and that’s the main thing that makes things like fascism work actually.
So back to sailors: We don’t really like that. Whiter you are a Sikh, Hindu, Muslim or Christian (I mean truly spiritual people), we don’t the idea of us or anyone else harming himself / herself in that manner.
The Quran calls this “torturing your own ego / being harmful to your own self”. It’s one of the greater sins that requires us to repent actually
