Bad Means

I define evil behavior as linked to hate, destruction, excessive proportions. But the most lethal aspect for generating evil behavior is employing  bad means to either a noble end, or a sordid end.

The good end is transplaced into a bad end by selecting a bad means: when someone is forced to change by external force, the result is most easily a bad end. People are born depraved, so if they are bullied into conforming, the reform will not take. They must volunteer to change and improve, of their own free will when they want to change, if they even want to change.

If the recommended behavior is worthy and sensible, and they accept it of their own free will, the rate of long term personal improvement--inclusive of the recommended behavioral change-sky rockets.

Groupism, evil behavior and fanatical, cruel means and ends mushroom when coercive compliance is systematically imposed upon people through institutional coercion.

The Left's compulsion to micromanage every aspect of personal life, and to pass a jillion laws and regulations mandating conformity to government edict or else--these tyrannical impulses to compel good behavior, in the long run, is far and away the most effective way to spread evil farther in society, and to intensify its staying power where it has already taken hold.

Only as lawful anarchists, self-regulating and free, will so love the self that recommended changes in behavior to better society will permanently take hold, at a much higher rate where compliance is optional and voluntary.
