In Japan, they have a term Mura Hachibu that apparently signifies when someone is ostracized and shunned from society for doing something really bad and abhorrent. I have never lived in Japan so I only know about it and have heard about it, don’t really know how it works. But in the USA it kind of seems like you can do all sorts of horrible, bad things, and there’s no real societal consequence for it… If you need any evidence of this, just look at Matt Gaetz. People literally hate this guy, in Congress and outside of it. Some people call him a child predator don’t know if it’s actually true or not and honestly don’t care to discuss it here but You would think that people that do terrible, horrible things would get put on a list and that list would be passed around society So people can be actively aware that they should avoid them, and restrict them from participating in society due to their terrible actions…
So why isn’t this ever done in the USA? Has this ever been considered, or is this like not a good thing to do?
I have a much simpler explanation. It’s because the united states is twenty six times bigger than japan.
In the United States, you can literally fuck off to the other side of the continent if if you piss off the people where you live. If your neighbors can remember you and hold a grudge, then they can ostracize you. In Japan, the cities are close enough to each other that there will be professional connections all over the place and you will not be able to escape your reputation.
Same reason, bad cops in the US can just go to a new precinct.
