It's easier to imagine the worst of humanity, than it is to imagine the best.
Is it? Maybe it’s because media in general exhaustively shows you this version of humane nature. Rousseau versus Hobbes again. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy where our lives are “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”. And I don’t think this is by accident. It’s political.
