You are arguing that we should change 1. by allowing violence. But in the examples you gave, it's not an issue of _how_ those acts are punished, but whether they are punished at all.
In other words, maybe we need to enforce current punishment more strictly rather than increase the pain of currently loosely enforced penalties.
- mihaic 4y agoPunishment is actually not my intented point, it's having negative repercussion for a large class of antisocial behaviour. Being rude and verbally abusive in many situations for instance gives you a stricly positive outcome, from a game theory perspective. I'm arguing to add something in the mix to make that outcome negative, and corporal punishment and shaming are the only things I can see.
