To achieve world domination?
Or to sell advertising?
Is there any difference?
I guess this is what they mean by "The banality of evil."
It reminds me of an old joke that reportedly used to circulate in wartime Europe. A Nazi collaborator suddenly finds himself under arrest by the SS, and for no apparent reason, stuffed into a railroad car packed with other prisoners and shipped off to a concentration camp.
He complains to his fellow prisoners, "What is happening to me? Why have I been arrested and condemned to imprisonment? I support the Nazis." One of his fellow prisoners responds, "You have been designated a danger to the State, and not fit to live, just like the rest of us. You might want to reflect on that as your fate is decided and consider whether or not you picked the wrong side."
The collaborator responds. "Ah, yes. But what happened to you is an injustice. What happened to me is a mistake."
