Ultimate challenge is to not necessarily kill your enemies as you allude to, no, the challenge is only to make common folk BELIEVE that you will torture them should they disobey.
…and thus ends today’s morning sermon on how to manipulate the masses into a state of perpetual fear….
My kid asks me from time to time "I feel like I have these horrible feelings inside me. Like I want to hurt people. Is that bad?"
And I always say "No. We all have feelings like that. We all experience a much wider range of emotion than we let on. The trick of being civilized is knowing when and how to act on them."
You are not my kid. You're likely not a kid at all. (Maybe at heart, but that's wonderful and different.)
And no you are definitely not the only one who thinks like this. Not at all. It's sometimes too bad we can't find each other in IRL and act on our feelings in a manner constructive to the betterment of our society. (Yes I know I did the 'IRL' thing wrong - it's on purpose. And I also know this comment might seem a little glowy. Not sure how to prove I don't glow. ... Man. Anything I say about that is just going to look glowy. Oh well. Maybe we will meet some day in IRL. Then you'd see.)
They are in your neighborhood too. They have political signs on their lawns and cars during election time. It's pretty easy to whip up a small db and just index a few things for old times sake. Mrow!

To quote a movie, I'd torture them so long they'd think it was a career.
Remember: The challenge isn't to kill your enemies. The challenge is to find out how long you can keep them alive and in constant pain.

“Please sir? May I have an other toxic injection”
“Oh yes of course, we have only just begun the first round of 4097…relax, everything will be just fine”
