That actually sounds like an interesting theory.
Do you have more info on it?
@Alex1488 @sickburnbro @All_bonesJones
Because you create an oscilation. Each punishment causing oposite reaction forcing your hand to add even more energy into the conflict.
@Alex1488 @sickburnbro @All_bonesJones
You cannot put the "same value" punishment, exactly, because the world isn't a math formula.
If punishment for stealing is returning, then you made stealing 100% profitable no matter how successful you are. If you rape a rapist, he will win twice. Do you really not see the issue with 1:1 justice?
Ok, so what do you do then? Well, the anwser is 100:1 justice. It is also called deterrent or punitive justice. With punishments at a 100x severity of the crime, the criminal does everything he can to avoid said crime. But once he is punished unjustly, he will feel justified to push out 100 times his pain back into the world. To avoid that case, the bast solution we have is still just the presumption of innocence. The famous "beyond reasonable doubt" standart, that we game up on as a society 15 years ago.
So, my point simply is, that justice is insanely complicated shit, that will never be balanced. 🤷♂️

I am sorry, but I don't know what you mean. The example is way too precise and full of perfect solutions for me to understand.
@Alex1488 @sickburnbro @All_bonesJones
sure...
Let's say, that I consider the punishment insanely excessive.
@All_bonesJones @Alex1488 @sickburnbro
When it comes to something as complex as justice?
Yes
@Alex1488 @sickburnbro @All_bonesJones
Also, there is a huge economic problem with value.

This is a ring that you gave your wife. You payed 100$ for it, and it always brings joy into your life.
I stole and destroyed it. Your wife is now depressed, and you are furious. I pay you 500$, and you buy a new ring, but your wife's smile doesn't return. The memories of your honeymoon are forever shattered. Was justice served? I payed way more then what I took.
I hate this imperfect world.
If somebody killed another person, that person should be put to death.
If somebody stole, they should return what they stole or be fined an equal amount of the value they stole.
If somebody raped, well, that gets a bit tricky. Do we rape rapists? Anyways.
The idea of "an eye for an eye leaves the world blind" is a fallacious argument, because somebody getting punished for a crime, doesn't then justify punishment on the punisher for having delt out said punishment. It doesn't make sense in any way you spin it.
