(18,903 posts)they may feel like taking justice into their own hands.
Lots of caveats.
1. Murder is not the answer. Yet, nations are at war, "legitimizing" murder, and as we know, nations (Putin) encourage mob violence in others to destabilize them. He infiltrated the NRA, and continues to foment violence through his orange operative.
2. The "injustice" may be imaginary or an outright lie, such as the "white oppression" at the heart of the GOP and its poster boys: Apartheid fanbois Musk and Thiel.

3. This entire matter is driven by the privatization of healthcare and the corruption of politicians to support it and deny universal healthcare. This will only get worse as the fox is in charge of the chickens. We are fighting for the many and not just the few, but apartheid is minority rule.
They rule largely though lies.
What's the point of this? That there is injustice, and some may take that into their own hands, but in some cases, "When in the course of human events" a group seeks violent remedy, or perhaps an individual seeks to do so, the real solution is to redess the real injustice.
It can be a monumental struggle to do so, with many damaged before the wrong is righted.

Until the culture of unlimited greed, blessed by hypocritical "prophets of profit" changes,
we must continue to fight for "the little guy"
Cultural change may take longer than our murderous global and local societies survive, but some are firm in our belief in equality, human dignity and fairness.
After all, what damn good is a fortune gained at the expense of money when you can't take it with you? Or, it goes to kids who blow it on drugs?
Diet Coke or regular Coke?
Research says that money beyond a certain amount buys little or no real happiness. The lust for it is the "happiness" and that happiness is not real. But it's magnified and glorified by the false stories that society tells us.
Until that changes, fight for the little guy and universal health care.
He overthrew the caste system and accepted women as equals when they were chattel.
Real happiness can be attained by fighting for others. In doing so, we benefit ourselves as well. Hoarding invites karma. Karma may seem to take forever, with many damaged along the way, but that's why we fight.
