Not exactly (e.g., you can be hurt by what you don't see). But you can't eliminate villains as a class. They don't look different from us. They come from us. It's all just people being people. The purpose of that facility to reason is to be able to discriminate villain from hero, and the purpose of the facility of free will is to be able to choose those paths oneself. You will know them by their fruits.

An important use of these facilities is to choose your enemy, and to choose the method of fighting back. Peaceful resistance is effective for a loyal, principled enemy, for example. I believe the American Left has shown they wouldn't count as loyal or principled, because they wage wars on a daily basis with and against words, as the OP's story demonstrates.
