Wow, quite an intense session, hehe. Dark vigilantes, interesting. Just finished watching Luke Cage again so this fit way too well.

I like a good vigilante story occasionally, there have been times in the past when things like that have become necessary as corrupt Governments have failed to do their duty and actually begin to contribute to open crime against the innocent public.
There's always that line, a very scary one, where the rules of society begin to disintegrate because the people feel those who are supposed to be in power aren't doing their job... Chaos is just a step away all the time.
That's right, and that is the great danger of corruption. What do people do when they have no legal recourse? There is nothing left but to become supra-legal and take matters into their own hands. A person's Government then becomes anarchy, each person or group of people fending for themselves and doing what is right in their own eyes. It is terrible, especially for the weak and helpless! 🙁
Tribalism...
Exactly, today we call them gangs lol. 🤔
I think the formation of gangs is a slightly more complex socio-economic issue, but that's like super long post and I'm about to go hiking....lol. But, agreed that there are certain anti-social organizations that spring up to deal with perceived inequalities or defense.
LoL, agreed. 😃
