      What I observed was people willing to throw someone off a balcony simply because he set the curve. People are either murderers, or murderer-enablers.

      When people start punishing abusers to the point where it stats looking like a holocaust, maybe then they can be redeemed. Until the abusers are traumatized into submission, there will be no justice.

        You have my attention. A charged response like that deserves a moment of consideration at the Very least.

        What experience or experiences brought you to this opinion?

        i speak having come from a broken home, destroyed by alcohol. unwanted by my mother and never set eyes on my dad, abused physically and emotionally by said mother as she took her failures out on me…what i mean by that, is…I’ve been in the dark places and I still frequent dark thoughts. i was robbed of justice in a world that owes me nothing…I’ve felt my share of rage and misplaced entitlement. So when i ask you, what’s up? please do not think i am being dismissive nor combative. i genuinely would like to hear about ‘it’

          I’ve seen multiple therapists - but therapizing me doesn’t stop other people from abusing me. Getting people to stop is the only goal, the only way I can survive.

              There’s more than one common denominator. You forgot at least human nature.

              One person can only do so much; if the rest of society refuses to act in good faith out of malignant narcissism, what do you expect me to do?

                Bro really took a comment by a guy named Willy Wanker 69, who’s trying to make a joke, seriously

                  The last person I failed to take seriously stuck a bowie knife in my gut; I lost a yard of intestine to that.

                  I don’t give people an inch - especially after that.

        Punishment probably isn’t the best way to improve things. Even under your view of things, it should be clear that punishment does more to make the punisher feel good than actually solve problems.

          It’s the only way to improve things. Things cannot improve until you stop people from making it worse - and the only way people will stop making things worse is if they’re too traumatized to act.

          Things cannot get better as long as you let people have free will - their free agency will always drive them to worsen things for their own benefit. The power of free will corrupts them.
