Evil people don't exist. It's just a coping mechanism we create to separate ourselves from people who do bad things.
Evil actions yes, those do exist. Evil people, no. People are human, human are neither good or evil, they are just the product of their biology and their society.
Let's start by understanding that and we will be able to move on more freelly. Violence can be indeed a necessity, but "necessity" is just the past name for "justice". It's future one is "change".
So like i said: If you want to really open up the future, don't seek violence, seek change, seek for humanity.
Death sentence are not a necessity neither are they a solution. Prison, right now might be a necessity but they are not the solution either.. that's why we must go beyond.
Toward humanity, toward change.
First step: stop deshumanizing criminals.
But also.. stop giving them a tribune.
Close the thread.
Don't think people realize how horrible prison is. At least for most people who aren't rich like Andrew Tate.
Like normal people who commit the types of crimes that Tate commits usually spend their entire lives behind bars, or spend several decades incarcerated and then are let go, have little to no employment opportunities, and end up homeless.
Now, a lot of violent criminals legitimately do deserve lengthy sentences like that. But it mildly irritates me when people say the punishment needs to be more brutal. Like no, prison is horrible, and even doing a few days in prison is probably a horrible experience.
If you're spending 5, 10 years in prison or more, you're life is probably horrible. Probably even worse than the people you hurt. So I think in many cases, the average convicted criminal either gets what they deserve, or more often, is punished far more than is really necessary because that's how the system is designed.

At least in America, politicians and the american public is far more interested in stopping crime via means of brutality than any other method.
And this is largely because crime is often associated by the general public with the lower class. Poor people and people of color, people who already tend to be dehumanized to certain extents in society. And so the american public has very little remorse for criminals and views violence and brutality as the end all be all method of stopping crime.
And while extreme sentencing and overpolicing can reduce crime rates, it fails to address any of the underlying problems that cause crime. It also creates a system that is isn't just. Andrew Tate is rich and at least partially due to this, he had multiple allegations against him that the police simply never prosecuted. You can't tell me that the same would be true if he was a homeless man. No, if he was homeless, they might have locked him up even if he didn't do it.

In any case, fuck andrew tate. This man is a cancer to society. He hurt countless people and truly deserves to be locked up forever for the shit he did.
