Humans aren't evil. However, this level of agreeableness is a flaw that's being exploited.

We need more people that have a line they wouldn't cross, where they would rather tell their boss "Go fuck yourself", even if it meant death. But since we don't have enough of those, and since after a certain point they're killed off for disobeying... well, I wonder how long "president for life" Xi Jinping will last now that he's "president for life".

The dark triad of personality traits would indicate someone has been being evil and likely refused to change. People "following orders" are not that. They're just machines being used, barely people, like the drones used to take out people. They chose to continue giving up their free will to evil because of cowardice, weakness, and stupidity.

Sure. That's a tautology though, and thus has nothing to do with what I said.

You might as well say "evil is evil".
