Saints

       

These are the people that only care about others and don't care       about their       own interest at all. Because humans basic preferences are set up for       gene pool       survival, these people are either extinct or never exist. They live       through our       memory and imagination. Stories talk about them a lot creating       illusions of       their significant numbers.

       

Fair

       

These are people that maximize their interests but only to the point       it helps       others too. These people love others like they love them selves. Hence,       they       often care a lot about maximization of productivity as a whole rather       than just       their selfish interests. They like social structures where the greatest       among us       shall be the one providing the best service to the most customers.

       

Many of them developed a mini saint like attitude of occasionally       sacrificing       their hard earned money for those who are in needy.

       

While not as unselfish as the saints, their balance strategy of       helping       others and themselves keep them from becoming extinct. This ensures       that their       kinds, not the saints, are the main driving forces that make our world       a better       place.

       

In fact, if you really care a lot about others, this is probably the       optimum       solution.

       

These people, the capitalists, are as good as it gets in terms of       benefits       they give to society.

       

Selfish

       

These people would do anything to get what they want irrelevant of       the harm       their acts will cause to others. They greedily breed many kids       expecting the       rest of us to couch up the bill.

       

This people would rob, either legally through tax, or illegally       through usual       robbery to get what they want and satisfy their greed for breeding.

       

Unlike the nice capitalists, these people would often lie with       various       euphemisms. Rather than saying, "If you don't give me money, I'll       rebel and kill       you all," they will say things like, "Disparity of wealth       cause social       instability." Hence, they act as if they care about public       interests, which are       also their main pretext.

       

The greater the evil the more lies are used to justify it.       Surprisingly, this       selfish people are also the one condemning selfishness the most.

       

While worse than the capitalists, to a limited extend, this selfish       people       can still be appeased. A little cash and maybe we can have enough of       these       people to free us from worse slavery. These people are by no mean the       greatest       evil we'll face.

       

Evil

       

These are the worse of the worse. These people cannot be appeased.       

       

These people care little about their interests. They just want to       ensure that       we're not happy. They demand many laws violating individual freedom.       They       torture innocents and demand tough penalty against consensual acts.

       

Their real selfish motives are well hidden. The greatest evils are       justified       by the most frivolous lies.

       

When women are tortured with frivolous witch accusation, they'll say       it's for       women own good. Yet they will "protect" women from consensual       offers. When kids       are bullied in schools they'll call it part of education. Yet, they'll       be in the       forefront in protecting kids from useful educational information.

       

The darkest motives are masked by the holiest sacrosanct ideas. It's       not a       coincidence that these people often use religion a lot and insist that       others       must follow teachings of their religion. The truth is most laws they       demand are       nowhere found in their scriptures. Their own dark prejudices that they       promote.

       

These people are like the Pharisees during Jesus era. They prohibit       so many       things that virtually everything is sin, yet they promote truly harmful       acts       like war, mass murder, and prosecution of innocent people committing       victimless       acts.

       

They prosecute others for exercising freedom of speech because they       are       afraid of being unmasked. Jesus, Copernicus, Galileo, Salman Rusdie,       and Vincent       Van Gogh are just some of their victims.

       

They'll prevent people from pursuing happiness. Then they'll acts as       if the       prevention is a protection.

       

These people don't even care about being oppressed. They don't hate       those who       oppress them. They preach love and forgiveness to burglars, robbers,       murderers,       and other evil beings. They just hate those who pursue happiness       consensually       and peacefully.
