    Ok, “evil” surely isn’t black/white. Capitalism in its roots borders around evil, that’s true. But it’s still a difference of selling crap to idiots who won’t question their purchases and ripping e.g. people off of their stuff or just…well, selling arms, munition, addictive drugs (knowing there would be non-addictive versions), making/selling alcohol/nicotine and whatnot…

      Concur about the lack of black and white. Interestingly enough, a major portion of your list of evils are things that I consider good. Addictive drugs are bad… everything else has a helpful, practical use, but could also be bad if used by a bad person.
