RE: Nonviolent Censorship is how Nonviolent Societies create Nonviolent Government

Hi mr. echoes :p

Completely out casting them socially and economically it's not the answer.

I want to challenge you on that belief!

First, it's a bit of a strawman, because you only control you. Completely out casting them is not an option anyone ever has in a decentralized system.

It may end up like that, if enough people feel that way, but then it's hard to argue it since I'm certainly not comfortable telling you that you have to welcome someone into your life.

But I'm also not willing to tell you who you can't welcome into your life.

You, mr. echoes, could work with people who are violent and try to rehabilitate them to where they're accepted by mainstream society again. And by doing this there would likely be some kind of esteem given to you, as the person who brought these lost gifts back into the community.

You'd only do it though to whatever extent the people were actually looking for the help.

So it's sort of a paradox where being willing to completely ostracize people means you don't actually have to do it. And it means there are soft landings and avenues of recovery for people who act bad.

Compared to how it is now where people DO get locked in a cage and completely outcast, with no incentive to improve themselves and then offered back to society with marks on their record that make things tougher for them (rinse and repeat, usually).
