They seem incredibly outmatched; usually these types of groups have at least some kind of chance at getting lucky or winning by attrition. Or is this a thing where they've been making gains, but those gains were fleeting as the slow speed of bureaucracy has finally caught up to the urgency of the problems they've been causing? I guess maybe they're being recorded and the money behind them is just waiting to pounce on something that's bad optics, say the hulk guy ripping a suicide bomber in half and tosses the explosive half out a window before they detonate the vest; just record it from the correct angle where no one sees the vest, or even better lie to the terrorist and the dynamite sticks end up being just hotdogs when an investigation is done
Then again I might be vastly overthinking something you drew for the spectacle of it; I suppose you need at least one curbstomb battle to show off their abilities under ideal conditions before you start putting them against competent opposition.

The First Law of Esperanza states that no citizen shall intentionally engage in any action which directly or indirectly causes physical or psychological harm to any other citizen or group of citizens.
The Second Law of Esperanza states that any citizen that willingly breaks the First Law voluntarily renounces their citizenship and opts out of the protection granted by the First Law.

You call those two laws a dystopia? That sounds like a great place to live to me. And with medical science as it is there, if you break the law and law enforcement damages you, once you've realized you were wrong, they can put you in shape again.
Vs. our real world, where people get away with murder or get a slap on the wrist all the time.

The thing about this setting is that people tend to be nowhere near as neurotic and touchy as in the real world, because they don't learn that stuff, right from square one. Parents have to be vetted before they can even have a kid, so you don't get people getting harmful upbringings resulting in those mindsets. Besides that, situations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis anyway-- someone can't just say "that person harmed me" and, without a word, you get draggesd away.
The reason it might seem dystopian is that we have great difficulty imagining a world which lacks the hurdles and hang-ups ours has. But the nice thing about fantasy is that it can go any way one likes. If this world's creator says the problems you mention aren't problems there, they just aren't. And from my understanding of his setting, I can say with confidence that you wouldn't need to worry about that.

This is a society where law enforcement officers have the right to perform summary executions if they believe a crime has been committed — if someone in power thinks you did something wrong, you literally instantaneously lose all your rights. And the only way out is to consent (under threat of imminent death) to having your personality forcibly reprogrammed. Even real-world totalitarian regimes aren’t this draconian, lol
It's a fictional world whose creator is not claiming it's a model for a good real-world society. If you think they are doing so, you've seen something I haven't.
My point remains that accidentally upsetting someone doesn't break this fictional society's laws. It has to be intentional and done with malice. And clarifying this also doesn't mean I'M defending this as an ideal society, I'm just making sure someone doesn't get the wrong idea about what this fiction is trying to depict.
