Evidence

However, politics is right in rejecting benevolence to the extent that the latter thoughtlessly sacrifices the future to the present. … There are cases where a man positively wants evil, that is, the enslavement of other men, and he must then be fought. … It also happens that, without harming anyone, he flees from his own freedom, seeking passionately and alone to attain the being which constantly eludes him. — Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity, 129
