      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.

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

        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.
