This passage is from Friedrich Nietzsche, specifically from his work "On the Genealogy of Morality." Nietzsche critiques what he sees as the "herd morality" of modern society, where concepts of punishment are increasingly questioned, and society becomes overly sympathetic to criminals. He argues that this tendency reflects a weakening of traditional values and strength.
Difficult topic. Guess it depend where you draw the line and who draws the line… and who decides to punish and what the punishment looks like in the end. Such power easily gets abused.

The quote is of course from Nietzsche, but it does not predict the modern world as you think it does. We are in the age of neo-feudalism and even worse, neo-barbarism. Brush up your history and if you are really not afraid of the truth, follow Whitney Webb’s research (whitneywebb@nostrcheck.me)
I just think it's funny that at least two replies are so obviously copied from chat gpt
Well - the spirit of what I asked was not to do a “search on chatgpt” but to see who was familiar with this take / work.
