Nah I don't think so. What people do in a simulation can approximate what they'd do in real life with no consequences but in real life there are always consequences. And most people need to see themselves as the hero in their own story so they won't do things that they perceive as evil.

It seems to me that most individual people think they are right in whatever they're doing. Including voting for Trump, being hateful, etc.
