The ends justify the means? Forgive me if I don't agree that some small sliver of sociopathic elites getting to live forever as nanite clouds or whatever excuses genocide euphemistically referred to as "dramas and chaos."

French Revolution was bloody and messy but it brought democracy and decentralized education which afterwards led to tremendous progress and innovation.
