Asking here because I don’t think this has a concrete answer… (or maybe it does? Please let me know if there is one!)

So a lot of times good people do good things and bad people do bad things… but what if someone with malicious intent unintentially improved the world? Or vice versa, someone with all the right intentions but made things worse for everyone

I guess this can be applied to a lot of politicians, but the question isn’t based on any real-life events

    There are too many variables for there to be one answer.

    For instance, are their intentions sincere or just claimed? If they fail to carry through, is it because of things outside of their control or just because they can’t be bothered to put out any real effort?

    Or from the other end, if their actions are harmful, is that by design or inadvertent? If inadvertent, do they feel any regret or do they just treat it as too damned bad?

    And so on.
