This is well observed but I would go farther. Signing on to the lesser evil effectually encourages it to get closer to the greater evil, and that in turn encourages the greater evil to become greater still. It's a *process*, that develops over time, not a prix-fixe menu of more or less unpalatable entrees in some dismal poorly-lit restaurant, with a TV endlessly playing CNN at high volume.
This is what even as bright a guy as Noam Chomsky seems to miss, somehow. Curious.
