You do not reason with evil. You condemn it.

You can spend your energy on condemnation if you wish. It doesn't sound like the most efficient use of my time. It is highly unlikely that political activism (which is what condemnation is about, either implicitly or explicitly) against any particular evil is the optimal way for me to do 'good'.
