For most of us, it's just the impulse that motivates us to watch Godzilla stomp on Tokyo, or King Kong climb skyscrapers. Our secret appetite for destruction. It's the midbrain kicking back against the oppression of the neocortex. It's Fenris struggling against Glipnir. And when the cord is cut, for example if you invest your ethical restraint in a religion, and the religion tells you to kill. If propaganda breaks it by telling you that a class of people are a subhuman menace, then look out. None of us can be confident that we'd resist. The difference between Evil and mere evil is that the latter is just some selfish action which causes you harm. The former, however, is when people do stuff _because_ they know its wrong. They don't need to draw advantage from it.
