So, my sibling took a Constitutional Law class once. And they were telling me that the lecturer was saying that there is one major factor underappreciated in current law: Dueling The US system is one that is set up under a very different cultural system than what we currently have (in many ways). But one important release valve that the first generation had was duels. If you were being a shithead over and over, you'd be killed. Maybe not by the first duel, or even the fifth duel. But your luck would run out eventually. Now, these days, we know that duels are just crazy, and the social effects of them are dumb. But we've also gotten rid of the shaming and shunning effects that came after them. Something else (white/blacklists, anti-NETTR, an anti-trolling league, etc) should come out to replace and gain these functions again. Our system really only works if done in good faith and requires an extra-judicial method of enforcement. |
