I don’t disagree as a principle. That’s why those on our side with brains have to act with precision and decisively. Sure, the rolling mobs might inspire a little fear porn for the nightly news, but the powers that be all think they’re the big dogs. It’s the narcissism inherent to their kind - they think they’ll all survive to the end.
Picture a fictional scenario where on live TV a Covid update turns to a scene of horror as some smirking health department bureaucrat slumps forward at the lectern with a small hole in his head. Or a nightly news reporter, known for smug propagandizing, out doing a live feed ends up executed horrifically - and told precisely why - for the viewers at home to watch as the anchors lose color in their faces. Suddenly, they wouldn’t feel so safe or secure. Not that I’m advocating such things, just describing what desperate people might do.

Yeah, something like that would make an impression.
