I hadn’t come across it or heard of Eichmann until just now. It’s shitty that it doesn’t use a better namesake to represent what it’s trying to describe; but that description is one that’s absolutely happening. Hence OP’s meme.
The vast majority of us, self included, are stuck in that trap; and having a label for that trap is an important step to challenging it.
So… I can 100% understand the opposition to it, but what do you recommend in its stead?
We’re turning into a lot of little Eichmanns

I hate that term. Eichmann very notably revelled in his role and tried to play up how many people they killed.

“Mitläufer”. A German Term for people who don’t revel in their role, don’t actively contribute to the suffering, but just “let it run its course”.
