Sure

I think thats a fantastic answer, thanks.

I can absolutely agree Seth outlawing for profit prisons and abolishing the 13th amendment. Thanks for the contribution!

Not bait, I added that just to bring some levity to a real rough conversation.

Results ideally

That’s not how a discussion works. Sure I could sit and do that by myself. I have done a good bit of looking into the topic. That’s why I posed the question in the first place. But the point of a thread here is to ask a question and discuss it. If you think you have an objectively correct solution, lay it out. You linked a singular BBC article about a sigular tiny population country (1/60th the size) with completely different social, systemic and economic issues than faced in the US. Is that all the empirical data you’re talking about? I’m just trying to have a talk about the subject. Typically part of a discussion includes opinions and how one feels about the topic. Again if you have hard data that provides an objective actionable solution please provide it.

What’s the video title? I don’t click links.

Yeah, I’m currently trying to get one to stop interacting with me.

I hear you and don’t disagree. But even like you said, 99%. 1% innocent people being murdered by the government is 1% too many.

Well that seems like a bad idea, if you’re being serious. I am on the side of executing “proven” serial rapists, serial murders and serial child predators. The issue is if the state allows killing people eventually someone innocent will end up on the block. Which is completely unacceptable.

I don’t click links, what’s the video called?

…wow… thank you for the contribution.

So, implement changes in society that curb those behaviors? I feel like it’s not that simple and some people are born fucked up. Just feels idealistic that people will just stop raping, killing and molesting if they also have access to some resources. How would you quantify

"Simply put, the better alternative to prison is to create and put people in social environments that don’t tolerate crime in the first place. " what does that look like in practice, if not prison/execution.

Thank you for the contribution so far.

I’ll look into it! I have a rule about not clicking links, but I’ll look up the source. Thanks for contributing.

I got you.

I feel like that could lead to a lot of false convictions/executions. But the current system is obviously broken and that’s already happening. So maybe you’re right.

I’d be willing to bet part of it is the fact when I comment or post in shitpost/memes I troll. So lots of people have tagged me with “bad faith” “troll”, etcetera. When I post/comment here and in serious communities I speak genuinely. My over a dozen posts and 1500+ comments here and in serious communities are proof of that. However, that doesn’t dissuade them from thinking I can’t switch to serious. Idk personally if I couldn’t code switch well I literally wouldn’t have survived my childhood. So its just kind of natural for me to speak differently in different environments. Which is how I view communities here. I think the same type of folks will downvote it because I included jaywalking to keep it somewhat light.

Thank you.

I think the addition is contributing to downvotes. But, I just figured some levity in a ultra rough topic is nice.
