Exactly. It's a common lib trope that all the superhero movies play into where everyone who want to improve society somewhat is a supervillain. Libs see the oppression but fear the victims more than the oppressors. They fear for their own little privilege in the hierarchy they fully recognize as unjust.
The truth is, they aren't against violence at all. They just choose to punch down rather than up. They choose the easy path and I think, at some level, they know they're choosing evil (according to their own standards even). They invent all those bullshit excuses to cope with their own cognitive dissonance. That's why they hold on to a logically indefensible position and get lost in contradictions.
