If peaceful means to of bringing about change have fallen on deaf ears, then violence is inevitable and arguably justifiable.
Like if this act brings about positive change in the industry when nothing else did, is Luigi really the bad guy?

I’m glad you at least admit the possibility that this act does nothing or makes it worse. “IF” is the key word here.
If peaceful means of bringing about change fails and you resort to violence, that’s the definition of terrorism. It’s not justifiable. We have a democracy and the reason it is failing is because voters are stupid, easily mislead, and uneducated about issues.
Our chance at Single-Payer to permanently solve all issues with Healthcare funding came and left in 2010 when the Senate Democrats (58) came up 1 vote short of the 60 needed for supermajority. The only thing we’ve tried since then is to elect more Republicans. You will be fighting an uphill battle against the vast majority of Americans if you join any sort of revolution over this charade, and the people you think you’re saving don’t want or deserve it.

Would you say the same about the civil war to end slavery? It’s not always as simple as “violence = terrorism & bad” as you make it or to be

The Civil War was STARTED BY THE SLAVERS because the peaceful democracy was ABOLISHING SLAVERY WITH LEGISLATION.

And was it wrong to respond with violence back?
