Hatred spurned by survival... (Humans)

In this odd post, I report a feeling I get when meditating on the dark idea of the destruction of our entire civilization...-We've all seen movies or read books that discuss the world being destroyed by aliens or the supernatural... but have you ever felt an inherent rage for a villain to the extent that you actually felt bloodlust? -What I mean by this, is that the images evoked within you were so powerful that the urge to destroy brokered no feeling of remorse whatsoever?-I've felt this to a lesser extent from the movie "Aliens" when Lt. Ripley faced off in a life or death struggle with the queen... and to a greater extent in "The Matrix" when faced with the Villian of "The Agent."-In modern society, one thing that most of us never get to experience is the direct threat of loss of life for ourselves or our loved ones by another being. -What role can rationality play when faced with an extreme such as this? When does Utilitarian Ethics win?
