No, we want the state to allow some types of violence (e.g. boxing matches) but prohibit even the state from other types of violence like torture even from the state.



I don't know what you're saying to me. The state is the only one allowed to cage people


That’s not even true, though. Captains of commercial ships have always had the authority to put people in the brig. And that’s not even including putting Elon and Zuck in a cage together.


Elon/Zuck entering a physical cage with consent and able to leave is not "caging". Like calling waterboarding legal because surfers use a board on water.

Brig detainment is a state sanctioned and regulated method to hand over someone to the state in transit back to authorities. They're not allowed to detain people as punishment
