So why not just kill all those government thugs?

see that sounds more like revenge/retribution to me than it does trying to really impact the environment
So the morality concerned is different
I can almost see the revenge argument more .. that if we're going down anyway then might as well make them pay for it. But maybe it's just the way i think about morality but i don't think that's necessarily ethically righteous just more so satisfying to the victims. Think death penalty for murderers/rapists etc
Which is of course distinct from the idea that we are actually going to scare people into doing the right thing. You can make an argument for example that the death penalty doesn't work as a deterrence but that doesn't make the revenge any less sweet. So i guess i do relate to the impulse that it would at least be satisfying to watch the elite taken down. Whether it was done by moral or immoral means.
