    What if we just imprisoned all pedophiles, took their entire estates as public funds, and made them do hard labor until they died? 🤔

      You mean, let them live a normal life in the system they created?

      Since they are soooo much better than the rest of us plebs, they’ll be doing just fine!

          It never works. When I was younger we could read about revolution and see whole families or groups killed viciously from the Romans, Russians, Greeks Cuba etc.

          I always used to think oh couldn’t they have just sent them away. Let them at least live. It makes so much sense now. The problem wasn’t with the revolutionaries the problem was those whose entitlement has spiralled to delusion. They are always going to be a threat.

          Of course the most obvious, retribution. It’s needed and is a sign of reset.

          Which is what i suggested. Compared to the average billionaire, as a normal person, you might as well be a slave ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      I’m generally against slavery as a punishment. The only time I’m okay with compelled labor is if it’s undoing something they did. I guess we could see how long it takes Trump and co to repair the reflecting pool
