CMV: "Evil" is an extremely strong word to use to describe someone and should only be reserved for people who truly deserve it.

When I think of "evil" I think of people who commit the worst crimes you can imagine. I think, if you use the word to simply describe people you disagree with politically, for example, you're probably brainwashed.

People like to talk about how polarized we are, and I think the media is very much to blame, trying to foster mindsets in the public with a sort of "slow drip" poison where they want you to hate people of a different worldview by feeding you a steady stream of negative press about them over time. This will lead people who lack critical thinking skills to be brainwashed without even knowing it. They will then come to think of certain people as "evil", as in truly evil, deserving of death. They then celebrate it when high-profile people like this die. IMO this is an extremely sick mentality to have, and evidence of ideological brainwashing.

But maybe your definition of evil is different, or you think certain people are deserving of the descriptor for various reasons. CMV.

Evil is an extremely stupid word that we shouldn't use at all to describe persons.

Because by calling someone evil you imply that what the person did was he result of an inherent property that person have. Sure it's easier, it allow to reassure ourselves that we certainly couldn't do that, because we're not evil. But in fine it's counter productive. A person act are the results of a miriad of circumstances and the most heinous crimes are often commited by vulnerable people someone has taken advantage off.

Calling people evil give the false impression that, shouldn't this person in particular wasn't there, nothing would have happened. While most of the time the situation is the result of things getting increasingly toward that result. And instead of adressing the situation, we designate the poor idiot who ended up being the breaking point as "evil".

Evil imply that a person have an innate tendency to do heinous actions, it's a stupid concept to apply to people.
