Assimilate to futile resistance

It is the inescapable fate of a society to make of each of its members an actual victim, and to diminish to lesser comportment what should be a life. The inevitable relegation of individual liberty is to the rote circumnavigation of shallow communities that cannot be policed for lasting betterment. Prison of this sort is only survivable through great exertions of profound insanity; it is thus the legacy of any society for its progeny to aspire to eclipse, by greater progressive failure, those same which birthed them.

Unless HELD to egalitarian terms, society is only useful to trivialize the task of basic physical survival. Our society isn't even close to that basic ideal - and, failing that as it does, every instance of individual compromise beyond basic physical survival constitutes a violation of that individual's rights to live freely. This right, I feel I should mention, is not one derivative of society, but is rather an intrinsic right that existed before the very notion of "society" was even a remote possibility. This is essential to keep in mind; if society doesn't improve upon anything we would all already have, then what rational, *actual* benefit does it offer?

People's choices can prevent solutions to the problems they create for other people - and at some point, the *objective* value (within a community) of any person's right to live can be exceeded by that person's objective toll on others of said community. This is the intrinsic truth upon which the concept of "crime" is based, and for which systems of social justice attempt to compensate. Unfortunately, existing laws are so overwhelmingly short-sighted and naive that all crime beneath a certain blatant spectrum is simply ignored; only a small fraction of "crime" is actually pursued as such - primarily in the form of a choice selection of ancient and ridiculous taboos dating back centuries, or else in the form of utterly arbitrary impositions for the sole purpose of generating economic revenue. Members of society are overwhelmingly not held accountable TO society for ALL of their actions and choices - and until that changes, no society can ever succeed in protecting individuals from the damage of other individuals proximal to them. Willful ignorance should be a social crime; lying to the public should be a social crime, etc. Instead, the present guidelines for "crime" include only those behaviors which are harmful only to single individuals or entities - i.e. they ignore the context, which of course is that we don't live as single individuals or entities.

Basically, for society to be worth the price we pay for it, every single member must be both accountable to and equivalently subject to the social rights AND responsibilities of every other member. That's the "fix" to the problem of all crime. Presently, it's impossible - so talking about fixing things, while commendable ideologically, has the net actual social value of naivete. At a certain level of cognitive duress, *anything* is better than accepting the role of a victim. It's not difficult to extrapolate the inevitable behavioral results from there; it's a cycle, and one of the inevitable logical remainders of this equation is violence.
