You can say that, but it doesn’t make it true. I don’t think most of them are evil, and given their position they’re probably above average intelligence as well.
True evil is when causing harm (or suffering) is not merely a means to an end, but the end itself - the person derives pleasure or satisfaction from the act of harming others, independent of any larger goal. They don’t rationalize it as “necessary” or “for the greater good.” The suffering is the point.
