    bad actors eliminated from society

    How exactly are you proposing we do this? If re-education or some similar imprisonment system works successfully, then it would be our current system (capitalisms) fault for their anti-social behavior. If on the other hand you mean they should be killed, isn’t that exactly the anti-social behavior your complaining about?

      I don’t have a good answer on how to deal with these people specifically. There are too many potential variables to really make a conclusive statement about this. It depends so much on the social structures we’re acting within.

      i will say I don’t think killing is inherently anti-social. If the death of an individual who is working against the wellbeing of the community is the only way to improve the health of the community then I would not consider causing their death to be anti-social.

      For a “spherical cows in a vacuum” argument, I would say that if there is a community locked in a box where no one is free to come and go, and a member of that community is engaging in rape or murder, I would support them being killed. There is obviously a whole world of discussion to just be had on this example and I’m over simplifying.

      The specifics are more of a moral/ethical problem than a political/social problem imo.
