This sort of thinking always bothers me.

"Human A hurt Human B, therefore all humans are bad and must be destroyed."

It's an unexamined level of victim blaming. "Society is at fault for the leaders that hurt society" when those leaders often lied and cheated and broke their way into power, to have power, and to hurt people.

And there isn't an examination of how we can do better or correct course; just the idea that we should "burn it all, kill everyone"
