For about a decade, I've gone over to Nietzsche's "what is Evil? That which stems from weakness". At least as I interpret, this isn't any kind of aspiration to return to when Spartans enslaved the Helot population, at least based off birth instead of virtue and merit. Merely that you see evil men and women capable only through the masses of sheep to feed on. Preceding that, weakness and self-centeredness weakens the societal environment, and lesser beings thrive.
It's basic psychology, if you provide forgiveness, state-welfare, etc, the conscious or unconscious mind incentive structure adapts to abuse said charity for granted. A related term that's popularized in recent years is the banality of evil.
Look today at the UnitedHealth CEO murder. 100s of millions of Americans; sympathetic, apathetic, or antipathetic towards the man and his family; are just as guilty of the dismal state of American healthcare costs. We have a faddish zeitgeist, like we have to dozens of news events in the past, without the economic and sociological literacy to fix a damn thing. Don't look for the evil public enemies straight out Fahrenheit 451 to sacrifice, look at the bozos who thought they were sticking it to the man when they had policy encouraging employer provided healthcare.
