Cult Denial

he dictionary definition of “cult” is “a great devotion to a movement/usually small group of people characterised by such devotion”. Now in Holland there is a group called PNVD (Parti Voor Naastenliefde, Vrijheid En Diversiteit), which stands for “Party for the love of one’s fellow man, freedom and diversity”. These guys are a small group who’ve made it their M.O to legalise sex with children at the age of 12 and make it socially acceptable to have sex with animals. That’s devotion, right? And there are only 16 of them in the whole country, which is pretty small. So, doesn’t that make them a cult? We spoke to Marthijn Uittenboogaard and Ad Verbrugge from the NVD (pictured) and put it to them that they are a cult masquerading as a political party.

Vice: I put it to you that you’re not a political party but a weird cult.

Ad: We are no cult. We don’t force people into bestiality or sex with children. We strive for freedom for people to be themselves in every possible way.

But you want to make it legal to have sex with 12-year-olds and animals. Isn’t that totally crazy?

Marthijn: I think it would be hypocritical to forbid it. Pigs are castrated now without anaesthetic, tails are cut off and so on. And then sex with animals would be illegal? Come on.

Wait. I should “come on”?

Marthijn: We want to make a law against eating animals and fish as well.

Do you guys fuck animals?

Marthijn: Ad, is that still on your to-do list?

Ad: No.
