This person got the wrong lesson from video games. The optimal strategy is usually the exact opposite of what they are suggesting. Take out the small guys only if they are getting in the way. Your priority should always be to focus on the boss, because when the boss dies, the small guys go away. Otherwise it’s a waste of time and resources. Actually an apt description of what should be done. Well, what do you know? Lenin taught me how to play video games :D
There is a political sim/visual novel type game I’ve been playing called Suzerain where you have the option to investigate and arrest capitalist oligarchs, and if you do it ends up reducing gang violence because it turns out the oligarchs were propping up and arming the gangs.
Videogames and their consequences.

I was just making fun of the fact that this individual sees the world through the lens of his treats, rather than any lived experience, lol.

I’ve actually played this! That takes me back, It’s a neat little game, and getting Sordland to become more and more socialist was pretty interesting.
