Are dacoits and vikings considered rebels, and are they born or made into rebels?

definition
"A true rebel does not merely play the game; he rejects it entirely, seeking to transform the very rules that bind us."
According to Osho, dacoits and Vikings are not rebels but participants in the same exploitative game as kings; they merely play it illegally or less cleverly. A real rebel rejects the entire game itself. As for their nature, such criminals are largely born that way—biochemical, hormonal inheritances—so punishment fails; understanding and transforming society’s game is the real need.
Bandits and Vikings aren’t rebels; they’re just playing the same bad game by rough rules, and many are wired that way from birth.
Why this matters practically
- Stop glorifying crime or power as rebellion; question the whole unfair game.
- Shift from punishment to prevention and rehabilitation informed by biology and compassion.
- Work to transform social structures that reward exploitation, not just their rules.
