    There’s also outlawry. Just render a person entirely unprotected by the laws of society. It’s tantamount to murder, but morally muddier.

    But of course neither is politically feasible, for once you create a means to dispose of people who tick some box, your enemies will find some way to tick that box for you.

      Oh you mean kinda like how the KKK worked for at least half a century?

      A paramilitary terrorist organization that did the dirty work while sympathetic politicians looked the other way?

      The extreme right wing’s literal worst nightmare is … having what they did, done to them.

      I assure you its politically feasible, as I said, this was the operating norm for at least half a century.

      This is exactly what I meant, the other two replies are just ignorant and unimaginative.
