I don't think it's anything to do with punishment, but the possibility the state can just disappear you.

And not allowing the state to do anything about evil people, which is what this old broken system decided was okay, causes an even worse kind of tyranny, the kind inflicted upon you by the people around you -- in rampant abuse, mass rape, racism and genocide.

We need to come up not only with a new system of government, but a new culture.

    Yeah, I mean I agree with that. This is kind of relevant to what we’re talking about. But, I hate when I see a cool thing in Japan. Because, every time I see some art installations or some cool museum thing. The first thing I think is “That would never work in America. The people here are so rude, and trashy that they’d destroy it on the first day.”

    It makes me kinda sad that we don’t have enough pride in our society to want to improve it, and keep things clean and functional. To try for a better way.
