A mysterious vigilante in Mexico has left alleged motorcycle thieves bound to lamp posts, fueling debate over crime, justice, and public trust in police.
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.
That doesn’t make it not vigilantism. Vigilantism is when you use force to enforce your values without the backing of the law. That’s what a revolution is too.
Like the KKK?
Vigilantes are usually racists just murdering marginalized folks, historically
Uh, yeah dude. Totally. When I say I love vigilante stories the KKK is exactly what I’m talking about.

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?
Revolution
Isn’t revolution a form of vigilantism?
To use your own argument, wasn’t the KKK trying to cause a revolution?
No, revolution is not a form of vigilantism.
Revolution is when you replace the government.
