For some reason this is a controversial take here and people keep telling me the troops will join the revolution even though idf service is compulsory and everybody who signs up to serve in the larger even more genocidal army is doing it willingly.
People should be given a chance to grow and change(not where it can harm others), I do believe redmeption is possible, and that humanity is not something you can loose.
There's a real contradiction between the prison abolitionist line of thinking and the "kill everyone remotely associated with imperialism" one.
"You claim to not want to imprison innocent people yet you believe that people who committed war crimes should be punished. Interesting. I am very intelligent"
Uh yeah that's actually a totally incoherent set of beliefs
If someone thinks prison is beyond the pale for any crime, but also believes that even an association with war crimes is worth the death penalty, they need to put a little more thought into it.
Lmao I don't think there's anybody who thinks the goal of prison abolition is to not have any form of punishment for crimes and if they do they're an unrealistic idealist. I think it's more about not keeping people in prison for decades for minor crimes and using them as slave labor the entire time. If there are I certainly am not one and never claimed to be so not sure why this is supposed to be some kind of gotcha.
This is like people who say that defund the police is bad because how are you going to have a society without first responders.
I didn't say that, I said "If someone thinks prison is beyond the pale for any crime." Those people are out there, I've talked with them, and that's what abolition means.
I didn't respond to you, you responded to me
