And I think the problem is where one uses such an idea to mask the fact that they're destructively getting off on hurting others.

Maybe they wouldn't get off on hurting others if theu spent time in their victims' shoes? But that REQUIRES that you inflict the same pain onto them so torture is 100% necessary.

I'm talking about people who cross the line of justice for vindictive punishment as you may be alluding to wanting to do yourself. Is the torture you speak of going farther than making an awful person spend part or all of their life cut off from society in a decent, non-private prison that doesn't violate human rights while forcing self reflection? If not, I think we can agree on that. From what I understand, humans and many mammals have mirror neurons that are the source of empathy which a traumatic life can distort the effectiveness of, and I don't believe you'll necessarily find good in more trauma. That's all.

I want them to pay back all the loss and suffering they caused me with exponential compounding interest. Until that happens, there's no limit to what I'll do to them.

I'm tired of being the scary guy, personally. I wish you luck and perhaps less anger if I were sure that you were wrong.
