The fear of punishment causes people to act more irrationally and emotionally. The more a person is exposed to punishment and fear of punishment, the less stable they become and are more likely to continue punishing others. People don't leave peacefully through threats of punishment. People live peacefully through educated negotiations. "I know what I need and I have what you want, let's trade." Win-win.
