Now I'm thinking about the villain trope in fiction about how they have well-meaning purposes behind their actions, but have been driven to extreme action by the surrounding forces of life and their ambition to ‘right the wrongs' against them.
In this light, there are several villains in plain site in this world, and aligning ourselves with people with ambition and means might need to be tempered with “When to stop helping them?” before things go dark.
Now I'm thinking about the “Banality of Evil.”
