If choosing the lesser evil still ends up at the most evil act someone can commit, was it ever really lesser evil? Or just slower, easier to ignore evil?

There is no "most evil act". There is ALWAYS a way to make it worse. We need to take every possible step to make things better. And "better" doesn't always mean "good". Sometimes it just means "slightly slower slide to horrifically bad.
