It's also empowering to believe that you're one of the "good guys", going after those dastardly "bad guys". TBH, it's the same thinking behind any pogrom. "Those people" are rich, so breaking in and stealing everything is on the side of justice. "Those people" have secret cabals which rule the world, so it's OK to abuse and attack any individual you see. The people with that attitude aren't aware of history. That attitude has been tried before in many countries. The end result is genocide. It doesn't start out that way. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
