What common thing should not only be banned, but criminalized with mandatory minimum sentences?

elected officials stock trading

Circumcising a child.

You're gonna love learning about a certain priestly duty at said events. Clue: it involves the priest's mouth. 🤢

Companies reporting price increases as "adjusting for inflation" when the price hike does not match inflation should have the entire C-suite going to the gulag. We need to unironically do what China does with its rich, terrorize them and make them walk on eggshells and hand out ridiculously harsh punishments to management when a business commits a crime.

Also, campaign promises made by politicians running for office should be legally binding. If something they said would happen did not happen, they should be tried for treason and the burden should be on them to prove beyond reasonable doubt that they tried everything they possibly could to keep the promise but forces they could not possibly overcome prevented them from succeeding. Maybe then they'll only promise things they actually intend to do.

Lobbying; at least in its current form. Corporations being treated as people when it benefits them, but not when it would hurt them. Executives not being held legally accountable for the harm they inflict. SJC-Legalized bribery (as “speech”). HOAs. The Bail system. Legislatures redistricting themselves. Racial profiling. ICE. For-Profit prisons. For-Profit Healthcare. Destroying our ecosystem for profit.

Transphobia

Anti LGBTQ+ bigotry in general.
This kind of bigotry has led to suicides of LGBTQ+ people and terrorist attacks against their communities. This is beyond "offending" someone.
- Bigotry in general. It is easy to not judge a book by its cover as long as you're not an illiterate, lazy-minded fuck.
They are allowed to be scared of trans people, no projecting it though.
- Ehhhhh... only for a time. If you're still a fearful cunt after having several positive experiences, then you're just a broken human, too chicken to ever grow to understand let alone improve the real world.
  It should still come down to behavior, though. Being afraid itself isn't bad. It's deciding that society needs to bend to your irrational fears where it becomes bigotry against reality.

Being cruel to other people by hiding behind some power imbalance.

I don't want to live in a society where the consequence for this behavior is a meaningless fine.

Is this not murder? There's no way he didn't contribute to her death even if she was already terminally ill. Stabbing a terminally ill person is murder, putting a newborn baby on the street under the guise of "it's in my property and it's not my kid" is murder, why isn't this? At least criminal negligence no?
Also, is Nanimo doing okay? Like, just in general, but is the housing situation as bad as Vancouver?

Attempting to mislead a person for financial gain.

Fixed prices for fines. These should be based on a fixed percentage, not fixed dollar amount, of a persons overall wealth. None of this bullshit that can bankrupt a poor person but be the price of admission for the rich.

Historically, fee-based "laws" are specifically designed to punish the poor. You off to update the whole system, or just the last few thousand years or so?

Capitalism

"ask me later" on phone apps. No means no!

landlords

Keeping properties vacant instead of lowering rent. If you haven't found a tenant within some set amount of time, 2-5 months or something idk, it should go to a public bidding process. Cities are full of empty commercial lots and half empty "luxury apartments."

Maybe you shouldn't be chomping at the bit to kidnap people and lock them in cages.

fr prison should only even be considered if a person is a violent threat to those around them

Willful violations of the Constitution. Right now, elected officials can brazenly disregard the Constitution and the worst that happens is they are told not to do that again in the future, pretty please.

Puttering along in the left lane, at or below the speed limit. The left lane is for passing.

The left lane is for crime.
- So? Stay in your lane. Everyone's great.
The left lane is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.
- No, the left lane is for loading of passengers and there is no stopping in a RED lane.
According to the highway code, the left lane is the one you should stay in, the right lane is the fast lane, or for overtaking.

Advertising.

Not raising your children.

Generally think mandatory minimums are unjust, but political corruption. It's wrong per se but also has downstream negative effects on society.

Using your children to farm engagement online

tobacco should be treated at least as bad as weed

Prohibitionists make me sick. If only we could prohibit them from existing.
- there's more than one way for what i described: regulate tobacco like weed or regulate weed like tobacco, and having it ssomewhere in between of your choice

Alcohol and gambling. The death and suffering these cause is unfathomable. Just within my small social sphere I've encountered numerous people that have had their entire families ripped apart or destroyed by these, particularly alcohol.

Not to diminish the harms of alcohol, but the USA tried that once and it went pretty badly. Prohibition of other drugs has also led to considerable harm. The cure may be worse than the disease here.
Are you going to pay my rent since apparently my life is yours to control?

Noise making that disrupts other people's tranquility.

Disturbing the peace isn't illegal?
- The people using speaker on transit, or blasting external speakers while hiking through otherwise perfectly good woods… are disturbing the peace, sure. So are the college kids two floors up when they’re pre-gaming at 9pm. But the police would not take any of these calls seriously, unless the OP rule/law were in place.

Driving like a fucking idiot.

Land ownership, mandatory minimum sentence, death

It shouldn't be criminalized; it just shouldn't exist as a concept it is today.
People should have a private place to live on, but shouldn't own anything else to profit off it.

Production of cigarettes and tobacco.

As ex smoker who tried to quit so many times during almost two decades - I know how tough this drug can be and that it's wide acceptance as social norm makes it so much worse.

Killing animals to eat their flesh. Murder is fucked up, human or not.

Farming can be ethical. You'd get a lot more agreeing by simply saying, "factory farming".
A good farm should be giving the animals a better life than quite a lot of humans currently get. A statement that should be damning to both sides.
- I disagree, but i would be happier with better conditions. I still think murder is wrong, and I oppose it, but if you remove the torture aspect I admit you're doing dramatically less harm.
- Nope. They all end up in the same place with a knife to their throat.
Try telling that to the animals
- Animals don't share our sense of morality and it would be ridiculous to expect them to.
  We also don't typically arrest other species.
Absolutely. And I further submit that if we're to think of ourselves as an intelligent, enlightened, civilized, and technological species, moving beyond our predatory instinct is one of the first prerequisites. Only once we completely stop exploiting animals can we in good faith say we're actually materially better than any other animal species. Until then we're just lions with computers.
What's the first thing we claim sets us apart from every other animal? Oh right, how humans aren't beholden to natural instincts and have advanced beyond mindless killing machines. We say while buying another hamburger because we can't even get past the primal urge to keep eating animal meat as soon as we taste it because that urge literally evolved in a time where the only choices were to hunt or starve. With all our technology you'd think we'd embrace more efficient ways of nutrient delivery.
- Only once we completely stop exploiting animals can we in good faith say we’re actually materially better than any other animal species.
  Step 1: stop the exploitation of other humans. This is gonna probably be the biggest roadblock not gonna lie.
Murder is fucked up, human or not.
Couple issues with that. Murder is just illegal homicide. The homicide bit means it's definitively only dealing with humans, and the legal bit is only as fucked up (or not) as the law itself, and history is littered with examples of legality clashing with morality.
We have some really evil folks in this world and they're protected by the same laws as everyone else. Some of those evil people are doing things like running countries or mega-corporations or engaging in some other means of causing a massive scope of death and/or suffering. You find yourself in a position in which you could feasibly take their life - do you? It's illegal: very much murder. But allowing them to persist allows whatever evil they're inflicting on everyone else to also persist.
I know none of this is what you're talking about, but I see the word 'murder' pop up a lot in conversations like this, and it's just not the correct word for what you're trying to describe. You can make a solid case for the morality of veganism without relying on the connotation of buzzwords that aren't actually relevant.
