A gentle society, on practical, not moral grounds

Ancient Rome

All moral values are perceived values. They are arbitrary. The moral values of current democratic societies are no more correct than the moral values of slave-holding ancient Rome, or of a cannibalistic Melanesian society 200 years ago. They are just different.

Melanesia

Kreutz Ideology advocates a comfortable death, and before that, during one’s lifetime, optimal sex.

People don’t want to suffer. They also don’t want people for whom they have positive feelings to suffer. They normally don’t like to see animals suffer, either. And they wish for a comfortable death for all of the above, including themselves.

People have many good reasons to prefer a gentle society for themselves and all those for whom they care. To justify this wish, no morals are needed. People do not have to wish for a gentle society because it would be morally correct, but for practical reasons, because it suits them.
