Sufficient stupidity is the only credible moral defense against being judged a Complicity Hitler. What your brain cannot grok, your conscience cannot be expected to bother you about. If a conscience is maladaptive, stupidity may even be adaptive within a complex evil system.

Not quite if 10 people are part of a system that’s judged to be 10 hitlers worth of evil, they can each be judged to be a full Complicity Hitler

If everyday people can become complicity Hitler for using straws, this elevates the Actual Hitler to Full Mecha Wolfenstein Hitler

It also sounds a lot like taxation: the average-performing human in a system that is judged to be Totally Evil (Capitalism, because people end up stuck at the bottom) ends up being taxed at a pro-rata share.
