I‘m sure our opinions don’t differ too much, I’m totally with you on many things.
What I’m trying to get at is that we end up with 2 groups of people who call each other evil. Because that’s what using these labels boils things down to. And whoever is stronger will come out on top and claim they righteously defeated the evil others.
There no discourse to be had, there’s no nuance. Only hate. Which as we can see is also very easy to weaponize.
Well then say the words. These people are raping and killing children and selling them to each other. I best see you say those words every time you mention them. If evil is too abstract then repeat their crimes every time you speak of them.

Absolutely. I find that much more productive than the catchall evil.
