It might be limited but the police can detain you and thus prevent you from further theft.
Neoteny can not detain anyone. If he could, it would not prevent them from being fascist or nazis.*
*This is not to be used as evidence of nazis and fascists expressed or implied to be in this thread.
Fixed.
Neoteny can berate and/or shame people until they do not wish to express their views any more. Just because he is not physically detaining them does not mean he is not pressuring them into behaving differently.
If the police put you in jail for a limited number of years, but then let you out again, you could possibly go on to carry out the same crime they arrested you for previously. You are possibly less likely to, but you still have the freedom to. Does that mean that the only means police have of stopping someone doing something is to lock them up forever or execute them?
