Imagine how badass it must have been to live back before people were faggots about death and killing. You go out, do your thing, then you notice an enemy in the distance, you chase them down with a stick to stab them to death, you do, you bring back proof to your people, like a scalp or an ear, and they CELEBRATE you, you are HONORED, the most beautiful gorls are INTERESTED in your stupid fucking stories for some reason now, and you feel so, so good about it all. Joy fills your heart, and that joy is celebrated, you are not shamed or blamed or guilted, you are heralded as a hero.
"But Jazzy, what about when you're on the other end??" that would suck, yes. But would it be worse overall? Bad people would be fucking afraid, because they don't know where it's going to come from or when. Crazy people gonna crazy and so it makes no difference to them, but all the lowlevel dirtbags would be scared stiff, unable to make moves against others, and isn't that a good thing?
I'm of two minds on the subject, on the one hand going back to the days of flaying undesirables will pit the fear of god back into the shit, on the other hand how does society determine when someone is truly deserving of punishment?
Narcissists, when afraid snap immediately into behaving properly, they are polite, they are submissive, because they are afraid
Psychopaths, however, do not get afraid, they only get angrier, and angrier.
Crazy gonna crazy so don't count them as a data point
