I didn’t mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(
I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. “Everything’s lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time”) type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I’ve heard from women irl a lot.
How is anyone free? You don’t pick your genes or parents or where you’re born and grow up, which friends you happen to make, or what opportunities come your way in life both for gain and for loss, trauma, abuse. How any of us grow into adulthood as fully functional compassionate human beings seems like a miracle, unless as OC said, you recognize that some people simply are just wired for evil, and need to be treated differently.
What if someone meets the person of their dreams? Or, as cliche as it sounds, finds Jesus? Or wins the lottery and decides to retire to a life of sipping cocktails on the beach?
What if you have a traumatic experience, can you look into the mirror and say you could never ever under no circumstances murder a person?
You don’t punish people for things they have not committed, period. No matter if you think they are the wrong type, or wrong race, or wrong whatever. That is a road that leads to pretty dark spots in human history.
Nobody is talking about punishment before a crime.
My point stands: Psychopathy as a topic has to be educated about.
