Serial killers, are apparently lame and losers. Who are the monsters that are just pure evil? Is it the dictators?

Evil is as evil does. Sometimes it is one man without capability of feeling bad simply looking out for himself. Sometimes it is a whole society diffusing responsibility.

Sometimes great evils are done because of great justification, real or imagined.

But do not get too impressed with the idea of evil as a force or as a form of magic. There is the idea of the banality of evil.

Josef Mengele was a monster, also.

Evil has banality to it? I couldn't agree more, but I've never really heard about this idea though.

People lament absent fathers and villify the ones who love their kids the most. The world is a messed up place.

Ok now here's a joke I'm repurposing from Anthony Jeselnik:

Of course Josef Fritzl is innocent. If he's guilty of anything, it's raping his daughter.

The biggest monsters in my opinion are those who bear false witness. Those who level baseless accusations at people and engage in mob justice witch hunts.

Nha, not saying we shouldn't kill baby hitler but maybe hitler was sick amongst sick men. So he's evil but sick is also another good way to describe him.

I chanced upon an interview from this week with John Douglas who was FBI profiler who has interviewed many of the killers (he's promoting a new book, The Killer Across the Table)
