On Saturday, December 14, the next meeting of the Practical Philosophy Club will again take place at the Kingdom (Biskupia St. 18/1). This time, we will discuss vigilantism. The meeting will start at 4:30 p.m., and the discussion will be held in English. Admission, as always, is free

  • How can we define the limits of vigilantism? What makes it different from other kinds of justice or activism?

  • Is it ever okay to take the law into your own hands? What situations might make it necessary or acceptable?

  • When does an act of vigilantism turn into a larger movement, like freedom fighting? Can you think of examples in history where this happened?

  • If people step in to help during crises, like natural disasters or community problems, is this a type of vigilantism? Why or why not?

  • Does vigilantism weaken the rule of law, or can it sometimes help fix broken systems?

  • What problems in society or failures in systems lead to vigilantism? Can these problems be avoided?

  • How does organized vigilantism, like cartels building roads or providing services, affect communities? Does it solve problems or create more?

  • How does the way movies or media show vigilantes—either as heroes or villains—change how people feel about real-life vigilantes?
