    If while acting in your own self-interest you knowingly, through action or inaction, allow others to come to harm, even indirectly, that is evil.

    I think most Americans buy products made via unethical labor practices, and which damage the environment, harming everyone.

    Are you really making the argument that the vast majority of Americans are evil?

      There‘s also the distinction between allowing evil practices for your personal gain and allowing them to avoid harming yourself. The latter would be a neutral alignment.

      With regards to the D&D alignment chart? Sure. I don’t know what kind of weird moral gotcha you’re attempting here but there’s not one to be found.
