So....what shall be done with the people who have been deemed indecent?
Rounded up, perhaps? Subjected to re-education?
- jbooth 13y agoNo, they'll simply deny they ever held the view in a few years, all on their own. See: Segregation.
- MrZongle2 13y agoWhy might they do that, theoretically speaking? Edit: A downvote for asking a question? Really? Is the answer that terrifying?

- phillmv 13y agoBecause they'll be socially shunned by people who find their views to be embarrassing.
- MrZongle2 13y agoIs shame, then, the way social issues should be addressed?
- phillmv 13y agoSeparating this sort of stuff into "social issues" is I think an incorrect way to look at it. We're talking about changing normative group positions in a complex society that has delegated huge swaths of norm policing to immensely powerful institutions. So, shame is one way. You have to make it shameful in the first place - and then you still have to change the institutions.
- makomk 13y agoHopefully because they'll no longer be able to justify - even to themselves - why they thought those views made sense in the first place.
