Isn't it interesting that, while we've heard the completely whackjob "abolish all police, empty all prisons" stance a hundred times over, we've never once heard what these people plan to do with violent criminals?

Like obviously, we all know the reason is that they are all completely delusional and think that they live in a world where crime simply wouldn't happen if everyone held hands and everything was free, but like... I really, honestly, truly want to hear what they think will happen to violent rapists, murderers, terrorists. I've just never heard it.

That and, I'm pretty sure you could bluescreen one of these types if you ask them what they think about Trump. How do you accuse someone of being a felon who deserves to be in jail if you don't believe in policing or jail? But you just know they also hold that belief with no consideration whatsoever as to how it contradicts.

the quiet part they never say out loud is that they want to bring back the concept of ostracism in terms of exile, outlawing in terms of losing your rights, ability to hold property and people being able to do whatever they want as long as it's to an outlaw and to being back lynching

that, or they're so sheltered, privileged and naive that they genuinely can't comprehend that there are actual people out there that will commit crimes for a thrill, sexual gratification, because they don't like being told "no" and to bully others, from the shoplifter stealing a six pack when they have 400 dollars in their billfold to BTK style serial killers

or on the other OTHER hand, they do not actually remove the boot from the necks of society, they want to WEAR the boot

and I'm saying this as someone that's GENERALLY pro prison reform, mind you

I've since watched a few podcasts & videos with people talking about this topic, and I think I have to agree with this take I've heard:

This "abolish prisons" opinion comes from the kind of intersectional feminist / wokeist / generally leftist belief that all crime is caused directly (and, most importantly, solely) by a lack of resources, by poverty, by being in a situation where you have less positive opportunities. That every single criminal on the planet is a victim of something, and was driven to do what they did for some reason or another. If they're a thief, or they got a parking ticket, well, they're in poverty and the system keeps them poor, so they aren't to blame. If they rape or murder, well clearly it's mental illness, and this could have been avoided if they had access to medical help.

With this line of thinking, no criminal ever really has agency, and can never fully be held responsible for their crime, and we can stop crime from happening by simply embracing "real" communism and ensuring that everyone has a house and food and therapy for free forever. Simple as that.
