Well it's obvious, even in my worst days I'm not as bloodthirsty as the archetypical post-modernist, once you believe you're on the side of the light and supreme greater good whatever actions you're doing can only be for the good of all and any people opposing you can only be either grossly naïve and uneducated or straight up evil, which is convenient since it's morally justifiable eliminating evil, by all means necessary and since it takes courage, money and balls to fuck with politicians or journalists, random ass motherfuckers like you and me become the de facto path of least resistance.
Allow me this low common denominator quote but I think it's still relevant: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Man, trying to read both paragraphs like they were all a C.S. Lewis quote was really fucking with my head.
What I get for glancing at the end before I start to read, I suppose.
Didn't you read The Last Battle? Reepicheep was all about dropping f-bombs.
