      Like I don't think Cooper should have gotten life in prison either but I don't think it's stupid for the hate crime of attempted murder to be considered on the merits of exactly what it is

      oh okay the popularity of the Richard Spencer punching video is indicative of "a situational form of sadism", alright, yeah, because of course

      Contra is going full Margaret Atwood with her extreme level of emphasis on Odysseus executing his slaves for sleeping with Penelope's suitors, which... okay fine, that's the most fucked up moment in Homer, but where are you taking it

      "I don't think Odysseus is supposed to be an asshole" lady he literally invades allied territory to force one of his friends to kill his innocent daughter just to facilitate sea travel to stage a war for a woman he doesn't want to marry

      Literally the first thing he does in the Odyssey (chronologically, not narratively) is circle back around to rape and pillage yet another a Trojan settlement AFTER THE WAR HAS ALREADY BEEN SETTLED AND WON

      This probably bears mentioning, yeah Even though I think ascribing it to "sadism" is kind of misreading the tone of the room in January 2017, after this dude had already used government property to shout "Heil Trump"https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1302045968917884928 …

      I mean she's not AGAINST the Richard Spencer video, she literally jokes about how she's going to show the whole thing in full again right now so she can enjoy it one more time

      Also I'm not really defending Odysseus murdering all those suitors but like I don't know if there would have been a similarly reliable way of getting them all to fuck off and leave Ithaka after literally a decade of sunk costs what's to stop them from poisoning Odysseus

      So a lot of this is basically unpacking the aphorism that "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind", which, like, fine, whatever, that's kind of an innocuous pursuit, but I've always found this particular kind of concern to be more than a little disingenuous

      Like an eye for an eye only leaves the whole world blind if you take eyes from people who haven't taken eyes If you only take eyes from eye-takers, specifically, and set aside culpability by association, you still have plenty of be-eyeballed people left over

      Well the point is that if there's no overarching central authority to decide the validity of people's claims, and you have an "honor culture" where justice is decided by people enforcing their own claims on each other, then you'll *always* get "disproportionate" revenge

      Because most of the time the person you take revenge against doesn't actually think they did anything wrong That's why they did it in the first place So from their POV you're the asshole

          sure, but for it to get out of hand you ultimately have to accept the premise that the number of people who can be punished for a crime can rightfully exceed the number of people who committed it If you accept "innocent people are off-limits", your scope narrows

          Well it gets out of hand because if you do the worst thing you can do to the other guy -- kill him and leave his body to be eaten by crows etc -- then his family will come after you for doing that, and whoever kills you will then become the target for your own loved ones
