    Violent retribution as a core principle might contribute to your completely insane murder rates.

      Man, people should have a right to defend their shit. The idea that someone should be allowed to take your things in front of you and you should be charged if you beat them up is pretty unhinged tbh

        Man, it’s just shit. Life should be of higher value than an object, even if it’s a really cool object or useful. You beating someone for taking something is a bigger problem then things being taken. You can’t commit a crime because someone else also committed a crime first. Get it?

          Quite simply, that should be the thief’s decision to make. It’s their risk to undertake, it was their decision to make that choice to rob and steal.

          You can’t commit a crime because someone else also committed a crime first. Get it?

          Legality is not morality.

        I fully disagree and enjoy living in a society free of such barbaric tendencies.

        Make your people happy and maybe they’ll stop stealing your shit.

          There are people who steal no matter how wealthy or comfortable they are. Theft is not stopped by making people happy. Reduced significantly, yes. But absolutely not stopped. Wage theft is the largest form of theft in the world, done exclusively by the better off and rich. Never forget that

          (And yes, I’m saying that people should have the right to beat up their employers to get back their stolen money)
