    This, except that shouldn’t be anger, really.

    Anger is a feeling that leads to alienation, and an alienated beast is the most dangerous one.

    We should be on a watch for potentially dangerous behaviors and offer help so that people gently unlearn their ways.

    That’s not to say people who have already committed some form of abuse shouldn’t be punished, but that we should fight for those who can become dangers and support those who recognize their mistakes and genuinely strive to do better.
