>>10260223I've already explained my choice of usage the word 'grandiose', so I don't think there's anything hypocritical about it. As for aesthetics, then murder matches all major definitions of aestheticism as well: in Schillerian concept of aesthetics it gets pretty much synonymous with grandiose, so that's already settled; in Nietzschean concept, although a single murder does lack the element of Dionysianism, it is still an act of manifestation of might so it can be considered as aesthetic. Traditional concept is the only one that may be unfitting due to the murder being ethically unjustified, but if we don't mind that then in certain circumstances a murder can be quite commensurate, if you will, and therefore aesthetic.
