Crazy how evil Google is. Just wow.

Yeah, but there are a lot of employees there who check their bank accounts twice a month and say: "Just wow".

Venial evil is easily bought.

Edit:

As a EU citizen

I really hate to even say this, but "Crazy Vlad" nearby is what true evil is about.

That's the thing here, morals are flexible for most people if there's a decent paycheck on the other side. It's another reason why politics are so corrupt these days. There's plenty of ways to avoid direct corruption, via "campaign funds", board of director seats, and lucrative corporate positions after a political career - most recently there's Nick Clegg, a former UK politician who will now be paid $15 million a year and probably bonuses and stocks as well to represent Facebook.

I would say that systematic evil, evil that is a consequence of technology or reality, will always surpass individual evil. It's like comparing the horrors of slavery as an instituted system compared to one really evil, sadistic slave-owner. Or how the native Americas we're to the 90% killed by viruses, rather than the evil of greedy conquerors. Perhaps you could argue that Putin is a manifestation of an evil system as well, but I'd think that if he was replaced by a good person tomorrow, the world would be a radically better place.

Google is clearly working hard, as an powerful institution, to perpetuate the system.
