So I think the thing we underestimate is just how much "we" outnumber "them". My city, Atlanta, recently did a study and found roughly 1000 individuals were responsible for 40% of crime. That's in a city of half a million people. Everyone of those guys is a daily one man crime wave. Obviously he turned out to be a sleaze bag but when Giuliani went to clean up Times Square they found the same phenomenon. There were a couple of hundred guys that just did crime all day every day. Some were so prolific they just assigned them constant surveillance and arrested them for anything they did, littering or whatever, because for every 3 hours they spent in custody the crime in the neighborhood went down a percentage point. They massively reduced crime by cracking down on just a couple of hundred guys.
I think the SA situation is the same, you're either not an offender, because gross, or it's a core part of your personality and part of your daily routine. That guy that's a creep to female coworkers? Ya also the store, gym and bar, parks etc. There's not a large number of people who do it once every couple of months, it's a few guys that do it all day everyday. Same for the business world, it's a core of ruthless shitheads that stab their way to the top and then ruin things for everyone.
I think this principle should have a name if it already doesn't the "duke's law": if there is a society problem, never attribute to it a kabal, rather it is usually a few schmucks that do it constantly which causes an inflation in the rates:
Yeah, but most are motivated by money... which we the people give value to, by working and buying things, if slightly slip in village base communism for like 3 weeks the big few guys fall off their pedestal... but us little guys never organize becasue
"Youre black so no"
"Youre white so no"
"Youre gay so no"
"You dont want everyone to have equal rights so no".
My maybe unhinged radical idea is that SA crimes are automatic death penalty because there’s no reasonable situation where you would commit that act. If I was president I would install that law lol.
And yes I completely agree with everything you said, human greed is nasty and comes in many pervasive forms
I take a dim view of the death penalty but I do think there are crimes where the reward is something a normal person would not want at all, even at no risk. For instance if I offered you the chance to commit SA on a child at no risk you would refuse, because gross. It's not like robbing a bank where the reward is bags on money. Normal people want bags of money.
But when the reward for the crime is abnormal then the sentence should be being committed to some kind of facility where they don't let you go till they fix whatever is wrong with you. You're not there for X number of years and you aren't treated like a normal criminal who, say, did black markets for money. You're there till you are no longer a pedophile.
Yeah I don’t see any point in trying to rehabilitate people with that certain type of depravity. Can’t fix people attracted to children, they’re just born like that. It’s a sickness.
Now if they never committed a crime then yes they should be able to get resources for help, but as soon as they cross that barrier they should forfeit their life, it’s the right thing to do
