You can use the Inyang symbol to illustrate that. It was originally designed for a different idea, but it fits here as well. The while circle in the black fields is good that comes from evil and black circle in while field is evil that comes from good.
Sure, not all evil cause any good. Similarly, some good is pure good and have no evil consequences. Also, your personal values determine what you see as evil or good. However, a lot of things in the world are more complex than that. I will focus on such cases in this article.
This is all the more relevant now, when evil wears mask of morality and disguises its evil agenda with moral, social justice and other such "good" words. In times like these the good has to wear cape of Robin Hood and strike evil from the shadows.
I my personal life I often found moral and things people call right to be harmful to me personally. Similarly, many bad things ended up liberating and enjoyable.
My parents were very eager to preach moral and principles but much less eager to actually walk the talk. The moral they preached was very self-serving too. They will go in length about how children owe their parents the world for raising them while conveniently stay nothing of parent's obligations towards their children. Can you call something like that a moral or some sort of universal standard of behavior? Of course not, it's just a hypocritical and self-serving brainwashing that benefit those who came up with.
There are many more good things like these, that are equally self-serving and harmful to those who listen to them. Take for example another "moral" idea that laziness is bad and those who do not work are bad people. In a world of high unemployment and poor work conditions we live now, this principle make life worse by forcing people to work under exploitative working conditions. This works for evil exploitative employers by entrenching their worst practices, while actively harming employees by forcing them to accept the ever-worsening working conditions. Without this "moral" principle one can just willfully quit and boycott work until you are offered better conditions. However, for too many that is not an option not only from financial but also from conscience side of things. For so long as these contentious people keep taking bad job offers, employers will not need to up their game and offer better working conditions that could actually improve life for those who work.
It's the same with feminism. This idea that ostensively seeks to protect women, actually destroys relationships and makes intergender interaction unpleasant. Men have expectations from relationships and from their gfs and wifes to meet these expectations. If feminism liberates women from needing to meet these expectations, then men no longer have any reasons to seek relationships. That is how women liberation leads to a society of singles where half of people never were and never will be in a relationship.
Finally, the current obsession with gym, strength and toughness is another thing that leads towards a lot of unnecessary pain and makes world much uglier that it should be. You can excuse many abuses when you claim it makes people tougher. Claiming it makes people stronger or tougher is like a Nazi enabling act and worst abuses and offenses of our society are perpetrated with these words on the lips. I can easily see my own parents supporting this toughness trend, justifying it with their self-serving moral. They were always the type to use moral to hide their cruelty. Even out Governor-General, Sam Mostyn, supports this toughness mantra, excusing abuses country wide. It's a shame she was appointed to that role. Her removal from her previous role in consul of female empowerment (or something similarly feminist) is certainly a pleasant thing.
There is more, but I will leave it at that.
On the other hand, some things that people call evil can lead towards good outcome.
In my own life my friends often helped me to break rules without getting caught. That allowed me to do a lot of fun things that adults around me wished to keep away from me. We would skip certain boring and unnecessary classes to play videogames of just chill out. My parents were against me drinking any alcohol, but my friends will teach me how to make sure they will never find out I had a beer or two.
My friends were never the types to follow moral or rules. They were the types to know how to bend rules to get what you want without getting punished for breaking rules. Thanks to them I had more in life that I otherwise would, as my parents were notoriously stingy and restrictive.
There are other examples too. For example, internet piracy. Reviled by record artists associations for "stealing" their music, internet pirates distributed digital content around the net so that more people can enjoy music, movies and video games. According to corporate lawyers it violates copyright and deprive their companies of their rightful income. In reality those who would pay for music do so already and those who rely on pirates either too poor to pay and will not pay anyway and use free alternatives just to spite the corpos. To make matters worse, corporations sometimes put DRM and other measures that add unnecessary impediments to using their products, pirates could help users by removing such things.
Thus, internet pirates are like Prometheus to bring god's fire to common people but get occasionally tortured by the eagles of copyright law. I am glad to see that gradually internet pirates grew to get recognition for their efforts from people and now even run political parties, get elected and even run government departments in Czech Republic. I wish pirate parties will do better in other countries and especially in Australia.
I mentioned that before, but WWII and Nazis, an event drenched in infamy, actually paved way for two happy decades that followed the war. Population surplus has died in war and those who left had good working conditions and life in general. 50s and 60s had one of the highest standards of living. Our living standards are falling because there were no major wars of pandemics, resulting in hundreds of millions of dead, since WWII. Remember how good life was during COVID-19 Pandemic? If virus was allowed to spread that would have continued and by now, we would have lived as kings. However, COVID-19 was stopped, and we are now even worse than we were before the COVID-19.
There is historical precedent too. Middle Ages were marked by backwardness, poverty and miserable unsanitary living conditions. That all ended with advent of bubonic plague or Black Death. Black Death shrank the population in half, giving one half peace of death and the other half a much more livable and dignified living condition. Thanks to the Black Death we later had Renaissance and other such good things that dramatically improved life and gave us the level of technological development we have now. Without it the medieval slave like feudal misery would likely have continued all the way to these days.
Nowadays we desperately need another Black Death to end our current misery and elevate us to the higher plane of existence with much higher standards of living and human development. Otherwise, a rat-like survival existence will continue.
Finally Universal Basic Income. The idea is reviled by moralists as too expensive, immoral money for nothing that enable laziness and will prevent people from working. These are not the rational arguments, however. They are moralistic mumbo-jumbo, that forces increasing number of people into poverty, homelessness, suicide, crime and worse. So long as these moralists stand in the way of solutions, life will continue to get worse and worse. We need basic income to regain human dignity and end depravity and exploitation.
As I described above, very often good moral facade has wicked evil interior, while people reviled by moralists, actually bring good to people around them. Good, moral and right intentions lead towards poverty and misery. Bad intentions bring, solutions and prosperity. It is not always so but often is.
That is why I often skeptical of people speaking of moral and doing right. That is also why I am inclined to support outside of the box solutions for our current problems. If moralists call it bad, then it must be good. It works much more often than it does not.
White is often associated with good, but white flag is s flag of surrender. Those who offer it to you do not have anything good to offer. All they have is slavery and perpetual servitude to them.
So, rally behind the Black Flag of opposition to the BS, privileged cunts try to sell. These cunts will call you evil but know that you are on the right side of history. New ideas always come in sin only to become new normal after they win. So, if older people call you sinner, immoral, evil and the like, then you are on the right track.
