@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 Again, not the point.

Is the point to punish, or to protect? To reform or to restrain?

A need to seek “justice” outweighs the commons’ safety & security?

That’s what radical individualism has produced. Failure to take true threats to existence seriously.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 The problem isn’t the justice system, which is corrupt.

The problem is the premise American individualism rests on. That every human individual must be given precedence over the commons in the eyes of justice.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 In the past, those making relevant decisions could claim ignorance of the inflexibility of magnanimous malignant narcissists. That’s no longer an available excuse.

Faith, not science, brought us the belief that ALL lives are sacred and capital punishment must be abolished.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 Western civilization has boxed itself into a corner.

We use common law and precedent rather than science and evidence to decide punishment of individuals. As a deterrent for other individuals. Weak and futile attempts to deter future transgressions of treason.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 And then complain when that isn’t sufficient to prevent harm of innocents these malignant human beings repeatedly cause.

We have faith that everyone is redeemable if only we ask for the grace of god. Yet god thus far has been unwilling to mend these souls’ minds of radicalism.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 We purport the value of scientific evidence on which to make decisions about covid, yet shun it when there are volumes of available evidence telling us the redemption of malignant narcissists is as yet unattainable. At best their behaviour can be mitigated.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 We unleash these human shaped monsters on unsuspecting societies who believe the system is designed to protect the public. But it’s not. It’s designed to protect the mentally unstable, criminally incompetent and magnanimous evil strongmen of the world.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 And then we wonder why these monsters are all over.

Because freedom and liberty with no accountability or responsibility attached to the commons has become the American ideal.

All people are islands.
Survival of the most cunning.
Greed is good.
The strongest survive.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 That’s the American zeitgeist.

And you have the audacity to blame the court system which is a reflection of the cultural, social and political culture that designed it.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 I appreciate my individualism too. But I also know and ACCEPT it comes with a caveat. My choices need to be measured against the cost to the commons. And there is a very large fence within which I’m free. But there are lines that can’t be crossed. They harm the commons.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 American libertarian culture removed the fences, then wonders why so many have wandered into taboo territory. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The issue is NOT punishment. It’s refusal of the public to accept caging those who prefer to behave like rabid animals.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 Until a CURE for malignant narcissism is developed, there are two options to deal with political leaders who are also malignant narcissists and attempt or conduct treasonous activity for personal gain at the expense of humanity.

Execution
or
Permanent incarceration.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 I’m recommending the less violent option of permanent incarceration.

One psychologically messed up individual’s liberty should not come before every other human being’s right to life.

It’s really not that difficult to understand.

@ObamaLeaf @Strandjunker @alicemaried2 If you can’t abide by the social contract required to live within a civilization, if you continue to attempt to take control of all others within a civilization, you forfeit your liberty permanently.

That’s accountability. Not a lengthy jail sentence. Justice is not punishment.
