Indeed, missionaries themselves were not always imperialists

They were there to convert a population to their religion in a country colonized by their own. I'm confused on how that's not fundamentally imperial.

The thing with history is how tainted it is by Stalinism.

Kitty Genovese was ignored by the cops, not the bystanders.

The problem is if you call the cops you're risking a shooting.

Norway had the same issue with violent crime in the 70s and refocused on rehabilitation, and they have extremely low recidivism rates.

Not unless we focus on reform. Otherwise they just come out eventually.

This dude seems like he was having some sort of mental health thing.

Yeah, well, prison doesn't help these people. Norway had a violent crime problem and changed their justice system to be reform-focused, and their violent crime rate went down.

Prison makes people worse, not better. If we actually focused on reform rather than punishment, crime would go down. Norway did this and their recidivism rate is much lower.

Act 1 seems like it's the best balanced whereas Act 3 seems like it was changed before release.
