Is it something that has to do with social relations and milieu, or is it more random variation?

    That's akin to my point: that it's psychologically appealing to see the people who are causing so much harm as nothing but pits of depravity and bile, and while that is true for some of them most are more complex and some may even do some good things, and that we have to understand that that complexity and nuance doesn't change a single thing about what must be done. There's not some moral scale to weigh their good deeds against their evil ones, and we don't need to pretend that such a scale must tip overwhelmingly one way in order to justify ending the harm they are doing and taking measures to stop further harm.
