Yes, history.

History reveals time and again that dislodging the powerful via lawlessness is not a sweet prelude to a better world. To be precise, even in the best case, at least a generation goes through hell before things stabilize.

I am not a big fan of "solutions" that dramatically introduce much bigger deeper problems.

Corruption is generally solved with more order. Not more disorder.

Cynicism borne out of frustration is not our friend.

Thank you for the blunt response. I was not advocating for sabotage - rather I was demonstrating that the current situation has precedent and giving GP a starting point from where to read. Thank you for pointing out that interpretation.
Well, I am relieved we are on the same page!

It is all so dicey.
