> Yes, it sucks that the only way to reach the rich and powerful is to harm women, children

I would consider that evil, much as I want the current administration and it's allies to have some healthy respect (and thus restraint) for the power of the people.

Of course it's evil, it's just that historically that's what we've done and historically that's what effective.

It's largely good that we, as a people, have become more civilized and don't resort to that. The unexpected downside of that, though, is that we are much more susceptible to being exploited. It's a sort of naivety trade-off.
