Law suit, but generally arbitration of some kind (the conceptual kind, not the legal term). Part of the social contract is that we don't resolve our own disputes beyond a certain level of seriousness, we allow neutral third parties to do so. Otherwise we'd have fights in the streets and mob justice.
- justinclift 3y ago> we allow neutral third parties to do so. That hasn't been working out so well lately, thus the whole "alternative methods" thing being pretty popular in some circles these days.
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoIt works a hell of a lot better than "alternative methods" from a moral standpoint, however. The reality is that people have just become more okay hurting others.
- justinclift 3y agoNah. Violence is the underlying motivation behind a lot of the world. Whether implied from people not following "the process" (your social contract), or people working around process that aren't working for them (corruption, etc). There's no better moral standpoint in either, it's always a case by case basis.
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoSo to be clear, your argument in favor of vigilantism being moral (which you call violence despite it not being so) is that it's effective?
- justinclift 3y agoHeh Heh Heh Perhaps you need to re-read things a bit? :)
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoSo yes? Or no? Clarify.
- justinclift 3y agoNeither of those answers. Please actually read and think about what I wrote a few comments back. :)
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoI did and sorry, it honestly seems like you've never considered any of this before whenever you wrote what you did, and generally have zero clue what you're talking about.
- justinclift 3y ago> and generally have zero clue what you're talking about. Heh Heh Heh Guess that's what we're both thinking about the other person then. No worries. ;)
