In my experience most people who do bad things do not know that they're being evil, don't want to be evil, or can't change the fact that they're doing evil things.

That isnt a straightforward piece of evidence. Many would describe evil as the deliberate commital of harm. By that definition, there's simply no such things an unwilling or unknowing evil.
