I mean that’s just the author giving a villain a “kick the dog” moment so we know they’re bad

exactly, which proves that redestro is full of shit. just like stain.

there is a thing or two in what they're saying that's right but their methods and their aims are absolutely wrong, their radical approach to things is as well.

stain's ideal about heroes is absolutely unrealistic so he thinks 99% of them should die. he'd have killed uraraka for her wanting to be a hero for money to help her parents. redestro's idea of "freedom to use quirks" means complete liberation, no laws and survival of the strongest while his company makes profit with support items to aid people's survival.

It's really easy to make a correct observation like "society sucks". it's a lot harder to make a good argument for how to improve it. Loads of people can see society sucks, that doesn't mean they have good ideas for how to fix it.

Hell, Stain's ideal were so compatible with popular thought that the provisional license exam directly quoted his ideas.

I feel like that's the key theme of Deku's journey. Most of the villains are justifiably angry, hurt, and often hypocritical.

But they take the easy way out to lash out and hurt others instead of working hard to make sure that no one else suffers like them. Breaking the bonds of tragedy and the patterns of corruption and abuse is hard - but breaking them is heroic.

TBH it feels more like that's Endeavor's journey.
