it feels like there are two main categories of reaction to big societal issues: one starts with "this is unacceptable, so we will find an alternative," the other says "everything else sounds iffy so we shouldn't even try"

our current system is so broken and evil that i wonder if just getting rid of it entirely wouldn't actually be better and more ethical. even with the problem of releasing however many violent offenders back in the wild. "it might be even more beaurocratic" isn't really going to convince me of anything.

i dont know what the best alternative solution is, im a software engineer. i just know that the current solution is depraved and should be torn down and replaced.
