I feel like this is projection. How tf do you know "well over a majority" of people are compartmentalizing "evil", in a way so good that we can't detect it, but somehow you know this to be true and we should trust you? Why? How? What makes you special in knowing this? I'm sorry if I'm coming off rude, I just don't understand how people can say this with such confidence when they haven't asked "well over a majority" of humans. 😛
In 2024 35% of eligible voters didn't vote and 32% voted for Trump. That's not a perfect measure, but it's about as much of a case as can be made. I'm also far less inclined to move any of those 67% over to the "good" side than to move any of the 32% that voted for Harris to the bad side.
I'm sure each of those people think they're doing good though, rather than purposely "compartmentalizing evil."
In my personal experience, 95+% of people are, at the end of the day, pretty selfish. I don’t mean that they need to be saints, but almost everyone does not want to make small sacrifices to make the world a better place.
I’m talking about people that don’t want to eat less meat or try to consume less, or maybe just give the benefit of the doubt to the other side.
Doesn't make them evil though, just human. The human brain is wired not to make life worse for its host, or its offspring.
