Choose Civilization
I have tried many times to communicate how insane one of the fundamental principles of leftism really is: it requires us to deny fundamental truths. Human nature is something that is real. Evil exists and must be fought. There is a necessary cruelty required to maintain social order and ultimately civilization itself.
It may seem cruel to imprison people, but unless we do, cruelty itself wins. The choice isn't between empathy and kindness on the one hand and cruelty on the other. It is between controlled, limited cruelty and the breakdown of civilization itself.
