History has shown again and again that, when it comes to actions, there is no practical difference between evil by intention and ignorance by stupidity. When people are willfully dismantling the foundations of society, I really don't give a shit if they are aware of the consequences or not, I am unwilling to forgive them either way.
The difference is that ignorance can be remedied. If they were just evil for evil's sake then that's it, might as well give up now.
It's not the consequences for them I'm worried about, it's the consequences for all of us if we give in to this dumb "they're just plain evil and the only way to win is to physically fight them" mentality.
