You seem to believe that I think it a justification for evil. I do not, people should not do such things and they are shitty people for doing them.
I’m saying that the idea of some good people doing the right thing fixing the problem is naive and doomed to failure and a real solution to the problem has to be bigger than the lazy “just no one be evil” proposition you seem into to champion.
My mistake. I believed you to be proposing a solution to the evil proposed. Not idly judging people with no meaningful contribution toward making things better.
It’s not a meaningful contribution. Judging someone in person, sure. Judging someone when you have a platform people pay attention to, yeah. Random comment on Lemmy? No one gives a shit. I fully recognize my own pointlessness in all this, especially this far down in the comments.
I said you shouldn’t be evil regardless of whether someone else is evil. It’s not an excuse. That’s not judgement, nor is it a solution, it’s me saying you have a choice and there is a clear right answer. Would you rather be Steve Bannon or not Steve Bannon?

Where on earth am I championing that as a solution?

Also not whats happening but that’s fine
I do find it funny, though, that you think judgement is not a meaningful contribution as if that’s not how the vast majority of change happens.
I’m curious how you’d characterize yourself then
