Due to learned experience and principles of game theory? Yes.
Don’t you try to find out which people will defect and which will co-operate, and act accordingly, instead of just screwing over everyone around you all the time?
Stop putting words in my mouth.

No i actually understand an amount of psychology and moral philosophy beyond some shit i read in a pop-sci or cold war history book so ive got a little more depth than a superficial understanding of ‘game theory’, but i do assess the people around me! The reliably bad ones are called cops and they will always do the worst thing.
More laws helps nothing. Laws are just excuses to not fix problems.

No, you’re right. Murder being illegal hasn’t saved a single life.
Whatever “justice” system you’ve been witness to, must have you seriously confused if it has you thinking it is the only one that can exist.
Bad systems should be removed. But their existence does not mean good systems are not possible.
And you will never see the real picture until you ditch simplifications like “laws bad”.

I think systems based on violence are bad, because i think violence is bad. Because theyre systems of violence, i do not think theres a way to be rid of them short of violence, but i think avoiding systematizing that violence minimizes the collateral harms.
I dont think murder being illegal has saved more lives than it has cost. I will not elaborate upon my ecidence, but it is from places squalid and opulent, decadent and visceral. The light it casts you in makes you look like a violent selfish child willing to kill–by proxy only, of course– to not have to consider the violence that is every calorie of sustenance to them.

Poetic.
Violence is to defect.
Some will always choose to defect.
To wish for a system where such defectors are not dealt with the only way which is effective, is naive.
That you think I need to be told that that’s still violence, even more so.
