I know I'm a broken record on the subject, but people, all thinking "they're doing the right thing" are how evil arises as an emergent property of any government or most any institution that's large enough.
Most people think there has to be a Hitler, a Stalin, or a James Bond-esque Blofeld or Dr. No behind the scenes, some sort of mustache twirling villain for there to be "evil". Even people here on this board.
The cop that tazes the old lady for a speeding ticket doesn't wake up that morning and think "

almost, but not quite as bad.
