Anarchists: often said to be frighteningly violent and/or unhinged because maybe a handful of times in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries they used bombs or guns to target literal blood-soaked tyrants and help usher in the end of feudalism.
People who manufacture, sell, buy, and use guns and bombs daily to kill another nation's conscripted commoners along with a healthy dose of completely innocent civilians, who perpetuate genocide and other war crimes every year: heroes, I guess? "Civilized?" "Great leaders."
The distinction of course is that one obeys the "rules of society" about who it's okay to wantonly murder (whose "lives matter," in fact) while the other does not, and you've been trained to believe that anyone who violates those rules must not have any principles at all. All along, the rules have been crap.
