It's indeed not a very popular opinion, but I think if you ask most people in private, they would happily tolerate the most abusive asylums/penal institutions if they could live in a legitimately polite, safe society, where even minor property crimes are a vanishingly rare occurrence.
- jamal-kumar 4y agoWhy does it have to be "most abusive" though, like isn't it obvious this just exacerbates problems to anyone with a mote of empathy and foresight? Maybe you know different people than I do but I don't think that line of thought is as common as you think.
- thegrimmest 4y agoI never said they have to be abusive, only that even significant abuse of the violent minority would be tolerated by the peaceful majority. As to why they have to be abusive at all, I would ask you what is the difference between unwarranted abuse and effective operant conditioning?
- jamal-kumar 4y agoYeah, how about neither? You know there's countries out there which aren't trapped in endless recividism cycles and enormous organized crime recruitment in the penal system right?
