Made up a term: “Complicity Hitler.” An average-performing human in a system that is judged to be Totally Evil, and therefore ends up judged as a Complicity Hitler via pro-rata share of systemic evil. Example: “Omigod you used a straw at Starbucks, you’re a Complicity Hitler!”

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.
