Following the social contract in the face of gross violation of the social contract is a foolish and immoral enablement of even larger violations.

When the other party to a contract violates the contract, you don't keep following your side of the contract. That is literally not how contracts work.

> Nowhere in the social contract is it even remotely acceptable to act as a vigilante and respond with violence.

That's not a truism, as evidenced by the word "revolution". If a law is unjust, one is perfectly justified to openly flaunt it and even be proud while doing so.

Would you say the same thing about slavery?
