You said yourself man: I’m arguing for treating everyone equally. If you don’t like that, sure bro, you do you. I’m sure you’ll find a million ways to justify treating people differently, just like those you hate so much do.
People are not dogs. Punishment/reward conditioning leads to the greedy short term thinking that put the US (and arguably the world) in the situation it is right now. Also, who gets to decide what must be punished and what must be rewarded? The state? God?
I think you’re responding to the wrong one here buddy. I’m the one arguing for the rule of law, people above me are arguing for extra-judicial assassinations. Might want to read the whole thread. Lol

Treating people badly based on intrinsic traits is bad. That’s what the people we abhor do.
Treating people badly because of their actions and choices is not only good (otherwise you can’t reward people for doing well), but necessary.

Are you arguing against laws or rules in general, or just ones that have punishments?
