The substance of their argument was to say "nobody is 100% evil". It's a platitude that clarifies nothing and helps nobody. Everyone has a redeeming quality, so what? How does pointing out that nobody is 100% evil change the bigger picture? Does it offer any moral resolution, especially for the victims of their evil?

Honestly I did not know what to make of this sentence
- atonse 2y agoBut neither does your dismissal of OP’s point help those people either. The damage has already been done. This is an internet comment thread at best. Understanding that people aren’t 100% evil also helps you understand “how are ANY of the locals around him ok with this guy being in charge?” Because it helps to see the next one coming.
