To clarify: Punching a guy in the face for extremely rudeness or socially destructive (yet legal) behavior sets a precedent that such behavior will not be tolerated and shoves sociopaths back into their holes. At the very least they fear to scurry into the light. We need this.

Libel / slander lawsuits are long and costly and often not worth following. So people get away with filthy lies that dishonor you and your family. Know what would stop destructive lies? A punch in the mouth. Every time. Prove what you’re saying or get decked. Maintains society.

Jerks should not get away with being jerks. Cops won’t stop them because it’s not against the law. So good folks grit their teeth and bear it. It’s never been this way. Humans aren’t meant to live this way. The state has replaces all morality and honor codes. Sociopaths rule.

Such a system cannot hold for long. You’ll punish and jail all those men who uphold what is right versus what is legal. Good men will face punishment as sociopaths get rewarded. Such a system cannot hold. For more on this theme, read Sanction by

There was a great SciFi short story (Beyond this Horizon) by Robert Heinlein about a future society that required all adults to be trained and armed. It was a very polite society indeed. In fact, Heinlein coined the phrase "an armed society is a polite society" in NYT interview

Many polite societies were armed, but arming a society doesn’t make its people polite.

Local community should play max role in resolving minor disputes & bad behaviour. Law creates more problems than it resolves wrt domestic disputes, fight between young men & women, ego tussles between neighbours etc.

Nice idea... Too bag local community doesn't exist in the mainstream anymore and if it does is more crony and toxic than anything your wanna be managed by
