in a just, abolitionists society that doesn’t believe in the carceral system or death penalty so called “shunning” is a powerful thing. someone does something cruel that the community finds irredeemable? state the facts of what they did as publicly as possible so everyone knows and then shun them. let them either change their ways out of survival or parish while clinging to their bigotry and hatred. it’s the only solution that i’ve found.

Why would you argue for individualist self-reform instead of collective re-education of crime?

Well what you’re bringing up now is a very nuanced discussion. nuanced and possibly even subjective. but my take, reeducation as a concept surely don’t remind me of anything ethical in real world history. it also still reminds me of a carceral system, just a differently short-sighted one. i can’t imagine a crime befitting of reeducation either, i mean let’s talk about bigotry for instance. how far do you go trying to avoid shunning a bigot before you’re just doing them the favour of giving them people to abuse? how would you teach a bigot out of bigotry, in this scenario they’re already living in a world without the systems that cultivate an environment of bigotry yet they persist. they’re beyond help as far as i’m concerned. and as i just mentioned, a lot of crime happens out of necessity because of being left behind by capitalism. i at least don’t think crimes againat humanity are worthy of mercy of any sort.

the shun is collective. the re-education is something the person being shunned must participate in as part of the collective in order to no longer be shunned
