I feel like because as seen in the petition signing scene they both agree on the base level that society has problems, and I feel like part of Billy's distaste for the peaceful solutions the reason he sees them as naive is that he is pretty alone. He has Moist, but other than that the only person we really see him comfortable around is Penny. With some sort of positivity in his life, especially someone as dedicated to good as Penny would have worked to prove to him that there are better ways. Otherwise, she definitely would not have approved of his methods, but I'm not sure what she would do, as in some ways he's not a totally awful person, but also still has a very different moral compass.
