  1. I'm not actually sure most people are actually willing to change their principles, especially evil people who have embraced personal profit/pleasure so highly, it takes something pretty profound to change them. An absence of consequence is not going to do it I'm quite confident, but I'm also confident that corporal punishment by itself isn't remotely beneficial. The goal has to be decreasing the rate at which society produces victims period, and part of that is holding people to account for their actions, it's just very hard to set laws that are universally relevant, IE some people will happily murder a person they hate enough and go to prison for it more or less happily, others will not, so just having a consequence like 'life in prison' if you're a poor person that murders someone isn't going to reduce victimhood, society needs to stop rewarding perpetrators and punishing those who are victimized, and that includes the legal system that is very good at protecting those it doesn't want to 'trouble', not unlike how life used to be, when the nobility did whatever they pleased until a revolt happened, then they either wiped out the revolt with brutality or were beaten and things changed in a miniscule way for the better. The rich haven't been this rich compared to the poor since the feudal era I suspect, when massive swathes of wealth were held entirely by the local lord, and people lived at their sufferance. The average person has so little money compared to those in the top 1% it's actually laughable. Since they can pay the admission fee, the world is their playground, and we're the entertainment. Anyways, I enjoyed your video, and I think if the world would embrace even just the concept of universal victimhood to any wrong we'd be happier by far... I appreciate the concept that 'any wrong done to one is done to all', humans are not individualists as a species, and we need to stand by those who are wronged, not make them pariahs for it.
