I agree broadly with much of your assessment of history and many of the problems that bely current western society. The rich might be exploiting capitalism to their benefit but a capitalist system with proper regulation will always be better (in terms of Quality of life and freedom) for larger groups of people Than a planned economy.
Lol. The people selling it to their local communities are just as bad as the people at the top. The people at the top are many times from the local communities you guys are defending.
How far of a distance was it? I'm trying to plan a trip right now and if I drive by myself the plane is easily cheaper. If I go with a group of people then driving is obviously cheaper.
I think this has more to do with it than the FBI personally.
the cost
The reason people use planes typically is its cheaper or roughly the same price when compared to driving - especially if you do t have the efficiency of being able to travel with multiple people.
the chance of getting sick because of the recycled air
Do you have anything to back this up? My understanding, during covid, air plane travel was relatively safe in comparison to other enclosed spaces due to the air filtering equipment.
Suffering isn't pointless. It makes me and many others feel good if horrible people like Brevik suffer, its justice for the people who suffer everyday due to Breviks crimes. Governments through history have been responsible for a ton of suffering - this is one of those rare instances where it's fully justified.
But I'll admit, wanting revenge isn't great and you're right, we shouldn't setup systems to enact revenge. That being said, some people are so terrible they need to be locked up and separated from society permanently. Since enacting a death penalty is both expensive and takes a very long time if you want to have the proper checks and balances to ensure innocent people aren't being executed, that tells me life imprisonment is the only option for people that would or should be otherwise executed.
Maybe he changes his tune in 10 years and becomes a voice against the terrorism he tried to inspire. That could end up with an at least beneficial outcome for society.
I personally beleive the death penalty shouldn't exist for people like Brevik. The best case scenario is he suffers for the rest of his days. He can't be rehabilitated and he shouldn't be.
His acts were so evil he deserves to suffer. Laws should change to ensure people like him can suffer.
It's a relevant point. We don't allow cigarette companies to advertise to children so should it be acceptable to advertise crack or coke?
