Free world, of course. In a free world, people organize themselves into groups with sensible rules through religion.

They do but there is one problem:

To make the system work, all need to FOLLOW those rules. If they stop, what then?

That's what this second system would be for me - clearly stated rules you HAVE to follow and a guarantee of normal life when you follow them. With free world you can't be sure.

Traditional Anabaptist churches have strict rules. Those who violate the rules are expelled from the church. So they achieve your goal without having to kill anyone.

I would rather live in the free world tbh... We all suffer due to lack of relationships but I don't think they are the most important thing.

I am now very detatched from society and became "volcel" in a way, I don't seek or want any relationships anymore, so individual freedom is important to me.

I mean, I value my individual freedom as hell too, but I wonder how could system with applied rules and guarantee of normal life would work.

It would be better than todays society for incels, but I doubt normies would be more happy.

But look how normies went with this entire covid shit for example.

They want to remove others rights because they don't follow rules and don't go for vaccine. They want to and wear masks, even when they might not work. They make for example in Australia bunch of rules which don't allow you to move anywhere. I guess they would go with rules of such world in a moment as well if you said that it's for greater good tbh.

Average normie is a retard

Yes but my point is that no government can stay in power without keeping the normies happy.

Yeah, that is true, I just assumed they would have enough power to enforce those rules.

Then I can see it working.
