    I’m curious then, and this is not a value judgment. This is a genuine question to understand the perspective. Is the threat of getting abused in jail the only thing keeping you from breaking the law? If you could guarantee no consequences, would you start murdering? Personally, things wouldn’t change for me. Just like I don’t need god as a moral authority, I don’t need law to want to be beneficial to my community.

      The consequences keep me from doing things. I mean do I really need to explain the obvious?

      I am not going to send anyone funny words on lemmy when I am angry to not get banned.

      What user iforglythename wants is to not have bans on lemmy. Let’s see what happens. Let’s see how that will work out

      It’s flabbergasting that this even needs explanation. I think you guys may be so out of touch with nature the whole lemmy reality is bizzare and trippy at this point. Someone needs to be sane here

        The consequences keep me from doing things.

        Personally I don’t murder because I don’t want to and I feel like it’s wrong to do so. Sure there are consequences, but I really don’t need them to stop me from going out murdering people. Perhaps there are people who do need these consequences, but it seems a fair statement to say that most don’t.

          Yea sure yet even online I see many comments that want to kill the rich or kill the pedophiles, Russians or animal abusers or anyone that person thinks they deserve to die.

          In what world you live where it isn’t the majority?

            You’re taking the utterings of keyboard warriors as reflective of reality?
