    I think that you’re not wrong, but the historical way that these societies have handled antisocial behavior is via lynchings. I don’t know that this model works if you don’t bring back lynchings, which I personally find unpalatable.

      Yeah it’s definitely the hardest question to answer imo, but you’d be surprised just how many of those problems are solved simply by society believing in the principles of innocent until proven guilty and trial by your peers instead of street executions by bully squads.

      Of course #2 only happens under anarchism for some reason, right?

      Realistically the hard problem is not how does anarchy deal with necessary elements of justice in any situation where you gather a bunch of apes together, it’s answering it at scale and how to balance needing professional behavior without actually creating a professional enforcement class.

      Would you rather a small group of power hungry psychopath oligarchs be in charge of the lynchings according to their isolated, self-serving, sheltered, and privileged reasonings in order to maintain their status and authority? Or do you think there is some stupid super intelligence governor floating out there somewhere we need to appease for some stupid reason so it’ll invite us to the private party it’s throwing that doesn’t like it when we do that?

        This isn’t an either/or situation. It isn’t have anarchy or have psychopath oligarchs be in charge.

        The fact that you need to create this obscene scenario to prove your point indicates how weak your point is.

          You were speaking in black and white logic, I just figured that’s what we were doing here. Is that not what’s going on?
