>I really hate to even say this, but "Crazy Vlad" nearby is what true evil is about.

I would say that systematic evil, evil that is a consequence of technology or reality, will always surpass individual evil. It's like comparing the horrors of slavery as an instituted system compared to one really evil, sadistic slave-owner. Or how the native Americas we're to the 90% killed by viruses, rather than the evil of greedy conquerors. Perhaps you could argue that Putin is a manifestation of an evil system as well, but I'd think that if he was replaced by a good person tomorrow, the world would be a radically better place.

Google is clearly working hard, as an powerful institution, to perpetuate the system.
