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

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
