Evil is when mediocrity and conformity are made into virtues, and individuality is harshly penalized

Evil is that which talks us out of our birthright, and then pats itself on the back for being so magnanimous
Evil is that which convinces us to accept a shockingly degraded and corrupted version of the truth as being the only truth there ever could be, and then struts around congratulating itself for fulfilling its role as The Great Benevolent Educator of Mankind

Evil is the force that persuades us to think that wasting our lives chasing nonsensical empty dreams is normal
Evil is the force that persuades us to think that we are the witless dupes it takes us for

Evil is the smooth-talking suit-wearing city executive who offers us a place in the hierarchy of hell, and then makes us feel that he is doing us a favour at the same time
Evil is that which convinces us that we actually are what in reality is no more than its own paltry and worthless construct, and then having done this, leaves us to spend our entire lives struggling vainly to achieve something worthwhile, something meaningful, on this pitiful basis
Evil sells you burgers and tells you that you’re loving it (just in case you weren’t entirely sure)
Evil advizes you on a personal pension plan
