I don't think they were defending the cartel. I think they were saying that actually hunting the cartel members is almost pointless. The better solution in their opinion is to cut off their revenue source by providing a safe and legal route to drug access.

I think their point is less "states kill so there's nothing to be done" and more, "states kill so we know exactly what to do". Not to say you don't have a point about frequency but I'm just saying anarchists exist.
Bad opinion. The whole downfall of the Jedi came about because they alienated the chosen one and were hypocrites blinded by their own high minded bullshit. Yoda et al. taught the jedi equivalent of abstinence only sex but for feelings. Works great until someone fails to keep it in their pants and now you have no backup plan to deal with natural consequences of biology. Add to it that the guy is the most naturally gifted force user the galaxy has ever seen and is being actively groomed by space Hitler while the counsel asks him to keep talking to him to see what this whole fire in the Reichstag is about. Like Jesus Christ just teach him to be emotionally stable instead of emotionally repressed and maybe his outbursts tone down a notch. As much as he's not guilt free if we are tossing Anakin to a new master I vote Windu. Or a more honest Obi Wan.
I don't think advocating for a course of action that dismantles an organization can be considered advocacy. I could see it being a critique of the current course of action, but saying we should change tactics is hardly an argument that our goals are wrong.if someone is trying to mine rock with a pencil, and someone comes over and suggests a mining drill, its not really a defense of the rock.
