i agree with you; however thinking of your adversaries as simplistic evil masks any intelligence there might be in their actions. i think it’s better to believe that they think they’re doing the right things; simply misinformed by either the people who are supposed to educate them or through willful ignorance. that way, you can better understand their human driven actions and why they took the action they made.
very few people want to hurt others themselves; instead they turn their backs and let someone/something else do it and enable the system that lets them behave like this; like ongoing the palestinian genocide.
to be clear: they are voilence-thirsty war mongers; but labeling them as so removes them from the realm of “normal people” and into a realm where they’re not help accountable because they don’t LOOK like the depictions violence-thirsty war mongers that they’ve experienced.

It’s easy to understand hurting others for profit. It’s not even slightly interesting, and the world would be better without it.
