Vigilantism is just a sign that government has become too corrupt

There was a lot of vigilantism during Reconstruction because the government was NOT corrupt.

But if you’re a victim under that corrupt government, it’s the only solution you have, so its hard not to cheer. No one is shedding tears for torched tesla’s in dealerships or the dead ceo Saint Luigi was framed for killing.

When the political and judicial systems are riddled with corruption, rough justice might be the only justice for some kinds of crime.

Its just harder to trust and justify clout chasers

If they’re paid by the click, they’re part of the problem, not the solution.
