      yeah I guess my point is that if kinship networks ruin revenge then maybe the problem is with the existence of kinship networks

      But *without* the kinship networks all you have to do to prevent anyone from ever taking revenge on you is pre-emptively murder anyone who you think might feel wronged by your actions.

      I mean if you don't accept it as axiomatic that "people who victimize the innocent need to be removed", then yes

      Doing harm to an innocent person should be a sufficiently intuitive source of outrage for anyone to the point that kinship networks as the mechanism for dispensing justice shouldn't be necessary

      But, like my original point was that a lot of wrongdoers really don't believe what they did was wrong, or at least won't admit it The whole problem of law and justice exists in the first place because of "disagreements"

      well yeah but then doesn't that pretty much put a fork in the concept of restorative justice If somebody doesn't believe that what they did was wrong then making them do something to mitigate the damage does fuckall in terms of salving the wound

      I dunno, usually the whole thing about vengeance is that from the avenger's side it's also kind of mutually exclusive with the desire for reconciliation "I don't want his apology, I want him dead"

      I think what she's trying to do here is point out that retributive justice isn't just a matter of people being simpleminded or ignorant, and likewise the people who call retributive justice a failure aren't just trying to be "nice"

      The desire for retribution is a deeply felt universal human imperative, it's one of the greatest sources of fulfillment and pleasure for human beings, it's core to our sense of identity and wholeness and community People LOVE punishing, you wouldn't be human if you didn''

      The reason it's a problem isn't that people who like punishing are bad people and we're more evolved, better people It's, ideally, an acknowledgment that it doesn't work, that long-term it's caused incredible harm

          (But most people are kind of iffy on that too -- attempts to replace retributive justice generally just haven't worked Maybe the horrors of the "cycle of revenge" are just part of the price of being human, maybe we have to just accept that)

          "He's never really going to accept he's wronged you and he's the bad guy, you're just gonna have to find some way to live with him regardless" "No I don't, I could NOT live with him, by making him DEAD"
