  • Hot take but tourism economy is the best economy and best quality of life.

    Tourism encourages the best values:

    • Environment is much safer and local government is held more accountable
    • Great career diversity - even low tier jobs are service jobs instead of factory work and high tier jobs are real product business owners not finance or some other bullshit money shuffling.
    • Cultural industries like art, bars, history, museums - all thrive under tourism economies

    It's up to communities to learn to manage it but well managed tourist spot is legit one of the best place to be a human in. I lived in tourist towns almost all of my life and it's the best, especially in seasonal places where you have a low season vibe with communities just chilling and enjoying the rewards of high season.

    The real issue stems from corruption where instead of managing this golden goose someone manages to squeeze all of the eggs to their own pocket and leave the rest unmaintained.

  • It's just white washing history.

    There has been a major propaganda campaing to claim thay Islam centers were there to bring light to people through education when, no fucking shit sherlock - everything else was punishable by death by the cut weeny cult.

  • Ah yes Morocco - the 137th out of 148 countries when it comes to women rights.

    If anything this "university" had an inverse effect this meme implies.

  • Nah I think OP is right. Googling around the story seems mostly made up for bragging points. It also started as religious school not sciences 100% and probably did more harm than good for women's rights considering Morocco is at the very fucking bottom (137th).

  • I definitely agree with the flawed justice system and tbh that's really the only reason I'm against death penalty.

    Some people are really really bad and if we are 100% sure they are then deleting them from the society is actually a good option as it frees up bandwidth and resources for more productive endeavours. The 100% sure is really hard to get but, as we can see, not always.

    The other interesting point is that suffering in "humane sort of banishment" can be viewed as a ethical-purgatory of sorts and maybe we want that even if we'd never see the rehabilitation?

  • How do you rehab a children sex slaver? I simply don't see that ever happening even if they miracously achieve some enlightenment.

    Just like death penalty is a cost on our system rehabilitation can be one so as well when the odds are so against us here.As in, are we investing millions of our collective resources for a 1% chance of rehabilitating this person or we put them in a dark cave somewhere and collectively forget they exist? Sometimes the latter seems like a better choice.

  • you still can't become them in order to pursue revenge

    I disagree here. This would not be "becoming them" in any way. What I do agree with you though is that the damage of "punish culture" could outweigh the gains of punishment/death in some grand utilitarian sense but from personal philosophy pov I find no problem with not having any sympathy, even as far as "treated as people", for these objectively horrible monsters.

  • all prisoners deserve to be treated as people

    eh, child sex slavery is where I'd draw the line but that's just me

  • Reddit’s CEO Debuts As A Billionaire 20 Years After Cofounding The Company

  • Not to defend it but people have a bit of selective bias here as it was not "very young girls" but <18. Still nasty but it was not out right full pedo shit and more geared to cringe teen culture at the time of "I'm 18 but this 17 year old is jail bait". Then the subreddit became a big free speech topic and people straight up started posting young teens to really push the topic which proved reddit's free speech stance wrong and they banned the subreddit.
