    I think they refer to addiction to a specific kind of action or mode of existence.

    I can’t think if a name for it but it’s what nazis, atrocity-doers, vampires and mass murderers are doing.

    A total indulgence in domination. A total taking from the world. A total divorce from humanity. To lean totally into that and be transformed.

    Apparently it’s empowering, ecstatic and awful.

    Yeah I don’t get the philosophical details either. But it’s a solid vibe.

    Sunshine has a metaphorical role in it too, I think. There’s a scene, towards the end, in the hospital. The vampire is exposed to bright daylight. And there’s a crucifix on the wall iirc. Something there.
