Not Understanding Leos Blog Post “Rape is bad because it is unconscious survival”

[coca]

For example, in order for a rapist to become Good, he would need to introspect and recognize by the light of his own Consciousness that rape is wrong. For Andrew Tate to become Good, he would need to introspect and realize within himself that treating women the way he treats women is wrong. Do you see that this cannot come from outside of himself? It does not matter what the law says, or what the courtroom says, or what the Bible says, or what I say, because even if he followed all those external standards, as long as he internally thought that rape is cool, then he's a bad person. Bad not because I judge him, but bad because he lacks self-awareness. Rape is bad because it is unconscious survival. For Andrew Tate to become a Good person he would need to make all of his unconscious survival behavior conscious, which would be very painful for him to do because he would feel so bad about his past behavior. Which is why he's stuck being a bad person. Bad people are stuck in a vicious cycle of denial about their own behavior.

 

Honestly, this entire paragraph is well written and I agree with it, I am only confused about one small sentence in this paragraph, “Rape is bad because it is unconscious survival.”

Does Leo mean that the actual act of rape is unconscious because he mentions that the rapist thinks its “cool”, or does he mean that the rapist is not conscious of how his raping is a survival strategy?

What is rape?

Unconscious survival.

Part of that is thinking rape is cool, or whatever other BS rapists tell themselves.
