minus-square@Opinionhaver@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglish2•12 days agoSure, but the fact that fear of punishment doesn’t deter everyone, doesn’t mean it doesn’t deter anyone. Good example from my own life would be speeding; the fear of losing my license is the main reason I don’t do it.
minus-square@Zozano@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglish1•12 days agoSure, but I wouldn’t exactly categorize speeding as an ‘evil’ act - just reckless. But then there are malicious crimes. These kinds of crimes are driven by motivations which regularly transcend punishment.
