I agree with all of that except the end: it's definitely still greed, it's just become easier to other your fellow man so you don't even have to hate him, you can at best briefly consider his existence as you pave over him on your way to whatever absolute moral certitude you're pursuing. That's the true banality of evil: greed makes dehumanization so commonplace that advocating for awful shit to be done to your fellow human being isn't even widely seen as evil anymore.
