So it's not meant to be a thoughtful mechanism for promoting change, just a way for people to act out their fight club fantasies on deserving victims. Gotcha,

  Fight club? I'm talking about ostracism, not violence. It's sort of like the Perverted Justice except instead of going after pedophiles, it goes after corrupt government (which often involves pedophilia). PJ doesn't advocate violence. It's a public shaming mechanism. How is that not a mechanism for promoting change? If bureaucrats and politicians are no longer safe behind a veil of anonymity, and must fear social ostracism, they're much more likely to behave. What's wrong with that?

    "It's okay for me to urinate in someone's food as long as I'm doing it to make them a social pariah" is exactly the kind of uncritical self-serving rationalization that leads to "dumbass government". Go look in the mirror before you act like your juvenile world view is beyond reproach.
