Only in the extremely moralistic worldviews of religion and political conservatism do we find inherent evil story characters like demons, monsters, perverts, sinners, hedonists, commies, terrorists, lunatics, freeloaders, dissidents, hypocrites, elitists, snowflakes, mind-controllers, and brazen traitors. They are basically collectively-evolved and self-propagating belief systems that twist the healthy and natural human mind into all sorts of entirely-projected abstract stereotypes that have nothing to do with the real world. Their adherents don't do this accidentally or helplessly either. They thrive on it, getting caught up in delusional plotlines and sensational dramas and outlandish conspiracies that lend meaning to their otherwise boring and monotonous lives. But how can they not be aware of this relentless monomaniacal fixation on villifying and smearing complete strangers? This is all clearly explained by Jung in the following quote:
"The unconscious is not a demonic monster but a natural entity—morally, aesthetically, and intellectually indifferent—that becomes truly dangerous only when our conscious attitude towards it is hopelessly misguided; the danger posed by the unconscious increases in proportion to the extent of repression. However, the moment the patient begins to assimilate the contents that were previously unconscious, that danger diminishes. Personality dissociation—the anxious separation of the day-side and the night-side—ceases as assimilation progresses. What my critic fears—namely, the unconscious overwhelming consciousness—is precisely what is most likely to occur when the unconscious is prevented from participating in life through repression, misinterpretation, and devaluation."
~Carl Gustav Jung, The Practical Use of Dream Analysis, 1931; from the book *Dream and Dream Interpretation*
"He who fights with monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster..." — Friedrich Nietzsche
