Not the only one that thinks this.
The logic error is in thinking that a single abusive prison guard necessarily means that all prison guards are inherently bad. That's the same collectivist thinking as a racist.
Many prison guards are inherently bad. If they had different character, they probably wouldn't do that job.
I'm not disputing that. That's not a good reason to eliminate prisons. The proper question seems to be - how do we collectively hire good/moral/fair/humane prison guards?
Sure is not the best reason to eliminate prisions, but prisions needs to be eliiminated.
True. Also, a larger prison population hurts the economy.
Keeping prisons is one of the few legit functions of government.
Irrelevant to the discussion. We're talking about how to morally deal with people who refuse to conform to the larger societies agreed upon rules. It's not as simple as *do nothing*.
Except this is like saying, that just because one virus is bad doesnt mean that all diseases are bad. Prisions system are bad, and prision guards are inheritly bad.

Einstein was a socialist and may have plagiarized most of his major theories. Another impotent appeal to authority. Get off my lawn, weakling.
No socialist government or country are anti-nationalist. Look at the USSR how nationalist they were... Which government advertise against nationalism?
You can always find excuses and disqualify people... that desnt mean you are right.
Correct. It also doesn't mean I'm wrong. That's why it's fallacious. Eintstein saying THAT nationalism is bad says nothing about WHY it's bad. His views on socialism say a lot more.
I think the point of the referenced experiment was that "guarding prisons" was inherently bad, not the guards themselves.
I mean that's like saying murder is evil, not the murderers themselves. Semantic spin.
There is a galaxy in that spin; look closer.
A galaxy of fallacious reasoning? Please explain yourself.
A galaxy between an evil person and an evil act. I wish to make this distinction.
Roger was imprisoned and psychologically abused by individuals he perceived to be the arm of a nation. In truth, those people had no interest in the well-being of the USA.
I don't practice Ver's religion.
Practice einstein...
