Aug 1, 2016 at 11:42 comment added Graham @AndyD273 The point isn't that it doesn't have the effect that it's meant to - it's that it has no effect at all. It can't ever be made an effective deterrent because human beings don't work like that. People who would be deterred would not have considered rebelling in the first place. People who do rebel are driven by principle, in defiance of the consequences of failure/discovery. Evil people aren't doing it to stop society rebelling, they're doing it because it seems like they should.

Jul 29, 2016 at 20:32 comment added AndyD273 You are right that it doesn't usually have the effect that it's meant to, but that hasn't stopped evil people from employing it throughout history. Possibly expand on this and see if you can think of ways to make it an "effective deterrent"?
