It was probably on my second watch of the anime that I figured this out. When he was killing FBI agents who were clearly good people.
One other interesting thing is that he’s not interested in elevating himself in the traditional way.
If he wanted to fix the world, and become super rich, he could easily do it at the same time. Because the people who are actually ruining the world aren’t the murderers that he killed in the story. The people ruining the world are actually the same people who have all the money. And he has the ability to control them. He can alter their wills if he wants to.
With the Death Note, it would be trivial to become the richest person in the world, but that would attract a lot of attention, so it would also be trivial to become a much less rich, but still incredibly wealthy person. And Light could have done that in a way that would be very hard to trace, if he wanted to. But he didn’t want to.
Light begins the story with a very biased view of the world, due to his father being a police officer. He’s quite authoritarian. He blames small time criminals and never really considers that there are societal and governmental reasons that they became criminals. Instead, he comes up with a very Machiavellian solution that people should follow the law because they’re too afraid to commit crimes.
Nobody is forcing you to mindlessly meme all the time. You possess a human brain that is capable of considering individual people based on your personal observation of their actions.
Action; became cop. Is bad. Yup, all lights green here.
You don’t see cops as the enforcement of capital with a side gig of solving crime. He does. Just because the show doesn’t bother to dive into that aspect doesn’t mean it’s an invalid point especially if we are just talking about “goodness”.
Here’s a better way to put it. Light would view the FBI agents as good guys due to his general views of law enforcement in general so targeting them is light showing that what he thinks is good in the world is irrelevant to his choices.
Instead now we are arguing ideology because you don’t understand perspective in literature. Womp womp and acab

Since when have cops been good people?
Since Light doesn’t immediately write his police-chief father’s name in the book. Since light planned to become a cop himself.
You spend too much time on this platform, I think.
Oink
