(Not who responded to you, but) I agree with you when you put it as “the worst of human nature.” I take issue with the idea that all of human nature is trash.
The systems we live in absolutely bring out the worst in people because it drives desperation. Desperate people will do what they must no matter how they hurt people, and the whole “hurt people hurt people” then runs rampant.
But human nature also contains the helpers, community, love, and so much more. We need systems that encourage those things, not to write off all our problems as just how we are.
Yeah I am with you actually. I should’ve written “can be trash” really. there’s a lot of good in people but the worst people tend to seize power unfortunately. Hence the shitty systems that make even good people into worse people
You’re missing the point entirely. Which was that the current system is just letting the worst of human nature run wild
