It looks like any distinguishable minority must, as a matter of survival, police their own misbehaving members much harsher than the state would, up to and including breaking the law.

I genuinely have no idea whether or not man made climate change really happens. While I can understand the science, I can't sufficiently trust neither proponents, most of whom evidently corrupt, nor the critics most of whom clearly unqualified. (1)

I therefore consider all the talk about expending resources on preventing man made climate change as opposed to monitoring, mitigation of consequences and adaptation as either a form of social virtue signaling or a cynical attempt to grab resources. (4)

When one throws all resources to mitigate what they see as an existential risk and dies from lack of resources, what difference does it make for the dead? Surely it's best to expend resources to try to mitigate the effects and adapt. (3)

(4) In cases of severe crimes one should not have a choice and must take whatever consequence the criminal justice system deems appropriate. Some people do not deserve easy ways out. In those cases corporal punishment can not be chosen or applied.

(3) By choosing to take corporal punishment instead of a fine or a short prison sentence, one admits that they deserve punishment and deserve forgiveness. They are very unlikely to reoffend afterwards by having their honest conviction reaffirmed.

(2) Modern society disproportionally lenient to career and violent criminals and overly severe to relatively minor infractions. One should be able to agree to take the punishment they think they deserve and be forgiven.
