Killing animals
Put all wild meat eating animals in prison!
Humans have the reasoning and introspection required to make the choice to not do unnecessary harm to animals, a lion does not.
And don’t get started on hyenas. Fuckers.
*most humans have
It’s like humor, most people have it but not all people have it 😉
Oops! I was trying to make a point but got called out on it so now it’s just a joke! 🤡
Not my fault if you thought someone really thinks this:
Put all wild meat eating animals in prison!
Guess some people really neads the /s tag lol
Are you stupid or pretending to be?
Lol, projection at it’s finest.
Because animals are usually subject to human laws?
I was asked to feed an outdoor cat in my neighborhood. I did. Several small animals have likely died because I helped one feel more comfortable. Do I need to go to prison.
I exist in USA where habitat is constantly destroyed for profit. There is no way for me to not be a part of this system. Should I be executed?
I fixed some damage to my home where there were carpenter ants digging in the wood. Not only did several likely die, but I also ruined their home. Shackle me to a trailer hitch.
I should have been more specific. The point isn’t about what predators do in the wild, or about accidental, unavoidable deaths. It’s about the violence that is intentional, done on a massive scale, and most importantly, completely unnecessary. It all boils down to choice. A lion in the wild isn’t having a moral debate about its next meal; it’s just surviving. We, on the other hand, have tons of other options. Nobody’s talking about punishing someone for accidentally stepping on a bug. It’s about questioning the entire systems that treat living, feeling beings like they’re just products for our pleasure or convenience, when it’s totally avoidable.

“ask me later” on phone apps. No means no!
If there’s also a “no” option it’s fine, sometimes I even want the “ask me later”
Attempting to mislead a person for financial gain.
That’s already illegal? It used to be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obtaining_pecuniary_advantage_by_deception and is now just fraud.
I believe, though I could be wrong, that for a person to be penalized for fraud, someone has to have suffer damages.
I think it should be illegal to simply mislead for financial gain. Think ads that intentionally exaggerate thier products, influencers who will claim to love some product and use it all the time, when they have never even tried it. And media that puts such a heavy spin on things that in court they claim that no reasonable person would have believed what they are saying as a defense.
So basically all ads… I agree
Don’t forget car dealerships!
Haha. Yep. I was going for subtle. :) I think ads that didn’t mislead wouldn’t be so bad. I do want to know about interesting new products… I just want to be able to trust the info. And choose when I see them.
Yeah, the choosing when to see them is the most difficult part. I don’t see that happening in the near future.
Yeah they should make fraud illegal
Fraud, I believe, has a narrower definition than most of us think.

Land ownership, mandatory minimum sentence, death
It shouldn’t be criminalized; it just shouldn’t exist as a concept it is today.
People should have a private place to live on, but shouldn’t own anything else to profit off it.
Fun fact: The Native Americans had no concept of land ownership. It’s how “Squatter’s Rights” was used to justify European occupation of native lands.
To the natives, land was meant to be used, not owned. For Europeans, they would look at a section of land and say “Who owns this? Nobody? Well, I guess it’s mine now.”
Being raised in a world dominated by European ideals, it’s easy to disregard how those ideals may have been challenged and if we really received the best outcome.

Having wealth over 1000 times the median family income.
Scale that back to 100x tops
I like the 1000x threshold because that is approximately the maximum possible fortune one can amass in one’s lifetime off of ordinary salary work and extreme frugality.
1000x the median income would be about $80 million. Consider the highest-earning non-executive salaried employees - people who spend years in school in very challenging fields. People like neurosurgeons. Imagine if there was a couple composed of two neurosurgeons, and they earn very good salaries. They’re also so frugal that they spend basically nothing. You have a pair of neurosurgeons literally sleeping on the sidewalk out front of the hospital. They live like that, and they invest and save every penny they can. The highest salaried incomes combined with pathological frugality.
Even if they did all of that. Even if two highly educated workers lived off nothing and saved everything, even then those people would still struggle to earn, over their whole life, a fortune that exceeded 1000x the median household income.
Such a system allows for a capitalism that actually does live up to the marketing. You’re allowed to earn a fortune as large as your own labor and skills will allow. However, the only way to obtain a fortune larger than this is to get into the business of labor arbitrage - hiring other people and harnessing the surplus of their labor. I want people to be able to earn as much money from the sweat of their own brow as they can. But I don’t want people to be able to hoard strategically dangerous fortunes by exploiting the labor of others. And 1000x the median household income is a nice even number that’s easy to explain to people and that achieves this goal.
I’d prefer it was simply prevented via policy rather than punished if breached.
I would prefer a mixed system. All wealth over 1000x the median household income taxed at 100%. So no one should have a fortune larger than that, a number that would be approximately $80 million today. But if you secretly gather a fortune much larger than that? If you somehow secretly amass a fortune 10,000x the median household income? At that point I would apply severe criminal penalties, like a mandatory minimum 20 year sentence. I don’t want to throw the book at someone just because they accidentally let their fortune grow a bit beyond the limit. But if you’re a whole order of magnitude above it? Then that’s when severe criminal penalties should apply. At some point your wealth becomes so large that you personally become a threat to national security. Amassing a fortune in the billions should be treated like a private citizen trying to build their own nuclear bomb. No one should have that much power, and we should treat both the same.
Willful violations of the Constitution. Right now, elected officials can brazenly disregard the Constitution and the worst that happens is they are told not to do that again in the future, pretty please.
It was willful violation of the Constitution that led to the end of slavery and suffrage for women. Not always a bad thing.
