Methods matter. Principles matter. The ends do not justify the means. If one advocates, "By Any Means Necessary," then one has disclaimed morals and principles, declaring that they have the judgement to take on the power to lie, cheat, or harm. Power corrupts, and especially so in this case. The historical record bears this out -- especially in the case of those who resist or seek to reform.
One group is "witch-hunting" to root out people who might be bringing stereotypes or prejudice along with their thoughts and ideas
So you are admitting right-out that you seek to "thought-police" people. You admit to the witch-hunt, you just feel justified in it. You are straight-up admitting that you place yourself over other people -- over fellow citizens you supposedly adhere to the value of "equality" with -- to take on such power for yourself.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
