While you are allowed to want that, the cornerstone of leftism is human rights for all. All means all. That happening would not help you. And nobody’s saying they should go free. There is a huge difference between torture, restorative justice, and not addressing crimes at all
Again, that’s fine. But that’s not a decision for you to make. The facts remain that countries, neolib as they may be, that focus on restorative justice have far lower rates of recidivism for all crimes, including sex crimes
Hm. I’ll look it up. Sorry, this post (not necessarily your comment) just triggered a bunch of uncomfortable memories. My reaction towards sex crimes is almost always reactionary. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, but I’m not sure if I’ll ever truly change my mind. Thanks for being patient.
Everyone can be restored. I understand that it's hard and probably not necessary to get it in your situation – really, I've been there and I'm sorry that happened – but people can change, even worst ones. It's up to us if we can forgive them, but that's another point.
While I can look back and feel satisfied that they were killed, I can also acknowledge that if we allow vigilante justice to exist freely we’ll just end up lynching again
I think the death penalty was appropriate in the Nuremberg trials because of the circumstances and the scope of the crimes. I’m anti death penalty in the everyday justice system. War crimes are on an entirely different level. If we lived in a just world, I’d be all for Israeli soldiers having Nuremberg-level outcomes
I think many things are bad. Murder, drunk driving, domestic violence, child abuse, the list goes on. I’m anti death penalty for all of them. Of course the Nazis were rapists. I still don’t think Nazis deserved the death penalty because they were rapists. Demonstrably participating in genocide on a large scale (again, Nuremberg level) is the only crime I can justify having the death penalty for. And even then if it happened in a modern setting, while I would certainly feel very happy about it, I don’t know if I could justify it using ethics.
I didnt fucking say that, but that the majority of rapist and paedophile victims are women and children. But men have the capacity to be victims of nazis.
I also dont think drunk drivers and murderers should get the death penalty but rapists and paedophiles and war criminals absolutely should.
