It would literally have cost you nothing and saved you effort to NOT have opened this thread and typed out a message insulting OP, but you did it anyway. You're adding credibility to their point.

It would have required even less effort for you not to post this but here we are

The difference, fellow scribe, is that my post serves a purpose and articulates a point. Yours is barely a sentence and is mean for no benefit to anyone.

That's a pretty cynical take, and honestly, it misses the mark by a long shot. Claiming everyone exists on a "spectrum of greater evil and lesser evil" isn't just a bleak worldview, it's demonstrably false and overlooks the immense capacity for good that humans possess. Think about it:

To suggest that good people don't exist is to ignore a fundamental aspect of human nature and the countless positive contributions made every single day. It's a perspective that says more about a narrow viewpoint than it does about the reality of the world.

Oh look, you can have an intelligent thought after all.
