>Makishima on the other hand is just some guy who is bored psychopath who read too much literature and became an edgelord. No humanity about him whatsoever, no characterization besides "lol listen to this quote" and gets masses killed without a shred of empathy.
Makishima's whole thing is that he's lonely, ostracized because this essential part of society, Sibyl, doesn't work on him. It inundates their world and is involved in every single facet of one's life, Sibyl outright decides people's future and assigns them who they are. What you mistake for simple sociopathy is aloofness resultant from the aforementioned.

Arguably Makishima is the most human character in the whole series. If there's a term for his philosophy it's literally humanism.

He freely kills people because they aren't, they live in a sterilize world with sterile thoughts and feelings, Sibyl's society is bloodless. It's beyond comical to hear you suggest he has no humanity in him, he's a romantic through and through (in the style of Nietzsche) -- and of course your definition of humanity precludes violence right? Your modern-cuck is showing. Because people are good and upright? That's Sibyl talking, or what passes for it in our society. Human expression takes more forms than that,but you literally cannot conceive of the word meaning anything but this limited definition that only came about recently. And yet you're ready to speak on anarchism? Sterile. He's an inverse Jesus figure because in such a it's not love that is revolutionary but the capacity to transgress. Which is what he inspires in Kogami and Akami, whose characterizations you also have wrong, defining them through their jobs rather than their motivations. You're genuinely representative of everything Makishima and 'Urobutcher' were rebelling against.
