Marxists are known to do shitty things and then backtrack half way if the backlash gets too much. And then seek mercy , if things get too much, appealing to Christian values of forgiveness but we all know that often times this is just a ruse, and that they will seek to try again over and over again to subvert our culture.
The Japanese diss song that said "we will never forgive or forget" would stop these marxists from using this kind of trickery. i feel like this is how conservatives should behave when people disrespect our culture. Yet it would go against Christian values. And if you suggested something like that in a western normie conservative sphere you will find conservatives bring up forgiveness is a Christian value and talk about Jesus's forgiveness. How do you feel about that? i feel sometimes like Christianity can defend cultures but it stops people from going on the offense.
This all reminds me of the demons from Frieren who prey on human compassion and mercy to get humans to let down their guard before immediately backstabbing them.
I believe you can forgive while also having the person pay for their crime.
Thats supposed to be the whole point of prison. To reform.
Yea and sadly it doesn’t in a lot of cases
If that were true we wouldn't have so many recidivists. We'd simply hang them after a certain number of return visits.
Reform should be a tertiary goal and the primary function of prison should be to punish and make productive use of those who have been a burden to society.
"Reform" is nonsense because the vast majority of these criminals cannot be reformed. They are either incapable of being reformed because they are low IQ subhuman savages.. Or they simply do not want to be reformed. They also won't be reformed by a penal system that has (more than ever) been subverted to coddle and placate criminality.
