Why I take exception to labeling people or groups as “evil” 👹

Evil is a very problematic word in my mind. When you call a person or group as “evil” you dehumanize them. The concept of evil makes it acceptable to abuse and denegrate the people or group you have labeled as “evil”. If something is evil, then that’s a justification to attack it no matter the costs.

A lot of good people get swept up in label of evil.
