Certainly anybody who mocks what is considered socially good, like, say decency, kindness, or honesty is a bad person who is working to make the world a bad place.

On the other hand, beyond simple answers ("Well have you ever tried not being mean-spirited?&quot people will have disagreements on what is socially good for all.
