I feel like this is such a cop-out response. It lets you dismiss this people's actions because "they're evil" (whatever that means) and disregard any of the larger systemic, sociological root causes that allow things like this to happen in the first place.

That's the point. It gives you a flimsy justification for leaving the systems and structures intact so "your guy" can use them in ways you agree with at some later date.

You are welcome to try to explain how it's not a cop-out, or refute any of my points.
