Like the KKK?

Vigilantes are usually racists just murdering marginalized folks, historically

    Man, I have seen you a lot recently. You're obnoxious! If anyone says anything, you come flying in purposefully misconstruing what they said to act like they said they support something evil. Either you're a troll, or you're as good as one. If you don't want to become known as a troll, I suggest you chill the fuck out. No one meant like the KKK, and you know that.

    Not a troll. I recommend reading Emma Goldman. Vigilantes have been bad news forever.

    It's only recently society idealized them, forgetting their true nature.

    They've often been bad, but they haven't exclusively been bad.

    Anyway, what do you do when the justice system fails to protect the people, and only protects the wealthy and oppresses the people?

    Isn't revolution a form of vigilantism?

    To use your own argument, wasn't the KKK trying to cause a revolution?
