Something being “right” is entirely subjective, and personally I don’t think that punishing people without purpose fits that definition.
Yet here you are, pushing and needling and imposing your will upon others, demanding other people give up core values that make humanity what it is because you don’t want to accept that what you’re advocating for is wrong and harmful.
My logic is that if an action needlessly hurts another, it shouldn’t be done. Not sure how art hurts others. The same goes for your space example. And your history example.
No, your logic consists of a long list of thought-terminating cliches you watched in movies or played in video games. You don’t think. You haven’t thought about what you’re truly asking for and you haven’t considered at all how it will harm other people because you simply don’t care about all that. You only care about yourself. And your snakes.
You know why the suicide rate for rape victims is so high, for example? Because of evil monsters like you who protect their rapists from justice with the same tactics.
Also, you realize that what you did just then was a strawman… right? Because I never made the argument that nothing is worth doing without having some tangible result. I argued that we shouldn’t hurt people for no other reason than spite.
Actually, you are, because justice, like art and history and love, is a thing whose benefit is moral and intangible, and here you are demanding its repeal without one single fuck given for the consequences of it. It is the moral backbone that makes all social relations possible. Without it, you have no humanity. Yet here you are, demanding we give up our humanity because you saw a documentary about Sweden once, played The Last Of Us 2 and decided that was all you needed to know.
Are you sure about that? Because the rest of the modern world doesn’t have capital punishment.
Here’s some more blatant strawmanning from you. It’s awfully telling you equate capital punishment with justice in a thread specifically about a man in jail and not being executed.
But what little can we expect from someone who doesn’t even respect his fellow man enough to respect the value and necessity of justice?
