No, he deserves to be rehabilitated in a facility that can reeducate him from his backwards beliefs.
Unfortunately we are limited by our material conditions, so instead he gets hit with a baseball bat.
"Look, I have neither the time nor the resources to teach you a lesson, so I'm just gonna have to beat the lesson into you with this bat."
a little operant conditioning when we're short on time and long on baseball bats
Re-education camps are bad things even if you agree with what they're "educating"
You can't apply dogma to someone by forcing it onto them. People have to come to realizations on their own. You can help them to that realization by doing a number of things that are ostensibly agnostic (offering critical thinking courses at the local library, encouraging people to learn how civics actually works, etc..)
But you can't just throw them in a "facility" and say "this is what we want you to believe and you're going to sit there until you do."
You try your best to encourage them to your side. But if they don't want to come, the best you can do is to mitigate the destruction their willful ignorance can do.
If he can't come to a realization on his own, then he stays in the camp forever. I see no problem with this.
On which grounds would you force someone like this into reduction... it's easier to show them the direct consequences of their actions... everything else is futile with those amoebas.
Being put in a camp is a direct consequence of his actions.
Or getting hit with a baseball bat. Either/Or
I'm German, so indoctrinated to hate anything concentrating a certain kind of humans. It's too easy to abuse.
