Vigilantism

[AR47]

Is it morally permissible? And to what extent? What kind of means can a person utilize in changing the world? How can I judge between what violence is acceptable and what is not? When is terrorism good?

It's a very legitimate ethical question. I want to hear what TRADITIVN has to say about it.

It always ends up with innocents dying. Imagine if we lynched everyone accused of being a rapist.

Well, to be frank, if something is le bad, it's okay to do things perceived as bad to make everything less le bad...

So if Bigfoot raped you (he will), but he did it out of necessity (you were about to fall off a cliff), then it'd be 100% okay

Why’d you have to say that.

I didn't, was just the first example that came to mind when thinking of a scenario OP will (Yes, WILL) be in eventually.

I would personally oppose the practice as it goes against the natural order of society, justice is the domain of the state, having every man act as judge and executioner is chaos. The only form of vigilantism/terrorism that can actually accomplish significant change is overthrowing a government and for a violent overthrow to be justified things need to be exceedingly bad, not even because of moralfag reasons but because it's ineffective and utterly destructive.
That being said there are always going to be people who can't tolerate injustice and will turn to vigilantism. But there's wages for vigilantism; if you want to to mingle in the business of private justice there's a price to pay. Like that one guy who shot an abortionist in a church: he enacted justice according to his ideals but payed the price in his freedom. That's the wager a vigilante makes and I can't countersignal that.
