Why doesn't Facebook have an unlike button?

I won't like to unlike every single post by my right-wing relatives. One just posted a video about Obama with the headline "53 seconds that should end a Presidency" or something like that. I didn't watch it because it was some app that wanted permission from me to share my info so I didn't do it.

I think I could have some good Facebook fights with an unlike button. But then I am evil.

Facebook is trying to be positive. If there was an unlike option, it'd quickly turn into a GD like cesspool of feuds, trolling, flame-fests, and harassment. Even evil people wouldn't enjoy it.
