Ironically the people I know that are the most extreme on the social justice spectrum are also the most likely to talk about how justice shouldn't be about revenge and we should focus on rehabilitation wherever possible. Which I agree with (although might have a more skeptical take on how often it's possible). But then it's hilarious to see the same people turn around and post in detail about how some case of sexual assault or racism should be punished vindictively.
Sometimes I at least understand the urge to be emotional in response to a story, other times the desired punishment seems absurdly disproportionate. Regardless, there is a clear ideological conflict with wanting to rehabilitate murderers!
