Again, I'd blame society for that, not humanity.
I don't know if you've noticed, but the actual power in the world lies in the hand of just a fraction of percent of the people. Those asshole ruin it for everyone else.
Doesn't mean the average human is evil.
Yeah, I know! But do you see anybody care about that? Do the votes for political parties show anything that would mean they don't like those corrupted bastards?
No! Most people don't care or think voting for the same parties will change sth.
I don't think I've ever met anyone who didn't care about this besides the one-off sociopaths you encounter on the internet (though I'm fairly convinced that they also care but just feel powerless to change things). The problem is that the priority for most people is not starving to death within the next month, and that makes it impossible to devote time and energy into solving more long term problems.
The thing is the same people who fuck the planet are responsible for your nonexisting social safety net.
I know people only care about politics when they have nothing else to do, but this is the problem. Most people won't make a well informed decision when voting, because they don't have time to do that. I mean most countries you can't even go vote on sunday
Worse, the average human is self absorbed and apathetic. This enables all of the truly evil to assert itself. Humanity is the sum of its choices and look where that leads. If it's a battle of best vs worst natures, it's become clear what side has prevailed.
