Humans are not perfect, they evolved into what they are now very very slowly. Technology surpassed that and we’ve learned how to manipulate the flaws in humans to control the actions of the masses. The sad part is it isn’t even difficult, it’s very easy to convince people to act against their interests if you get them to associate the desired action with their baser instincts: sex, resources, security.
When a flaw can be exploited, we exploit it. But exploiting it is evil.
You can chalk it up to humans being inherently evil, but it’s just difficult to fight against our inherent flaws, against the animal instincts which drive us and especially the less educated.
