But in time it will be understood..
Because our planet is about to die from being abused.1 in 4 girls are raped before age 18 eventually trauma will have a saturation point in a population and when that is reached, is when denial is no longer effective as a coping tool for a culture or a world.
and it is than we go back to the days when an abuser was observed and then eliminated.Or we die
Some tribes like the Cherokee were not tolerant of rape for instance.
Cherokee justice and commitment to each others well being and the bonds of close knit kin networks where everyone knew each other well enough made it tough on the abusers to get away with crimes in their midst.
A rapist that was caught raping would be whipped 50 times and have his ear notched. A missing ear so everyone knew he was a rapist. The next time, 100 lashes and his other ear notched,I bet that notch scar really reduced his access to victims ,alone.
The third time he raped or attempted it he was caught,than dragged out to the center area of the camp and killed and disposed of.
With justice like that rape did not turn into serial rape like what happens nowadays with 1 rapist raping many times before he is even caught, the tribe would kill the rapist before it got that far out of control.
So they were safer than we are regarding crimes like rape.
Some tribal cultures saw psychopathic tendencies like bullying over weening ambition,too much individuality,to the point it became obnoxious,competitiveness in the wrong contexts, selfishness,sexual exploitation,abuse of power, greed and such as bad things. In other words they were a PRO social community.
http://www.coax.net/people/lwf/FIP_PT1.HTMOther tribes were just horrible to live in.Some were pro social others not so.It would be interesting to find out how many of the anti social tribes were hierarchical dominated by an authority and what concentrations of psychopaths or toxic personalities were in the bad tribes.
We could if our culture didn't have this our consumer and atomized civilization is superior to every other way of life belief,take the lessons from both kinds of tribes and learn what to do and not do to build a community.But that's a hard task in this sick empire that will not tolerate a pro social community within it if it threatens to overshadow the empire.
