What a fucking trashbag.

      I refuse to believe that it's immutable human nature as much as it's the worse facets of human nature being fed and emphasized by the poisoned culture we exist in.

        immutable human nature

        there honestly isn't a single immutable human nature. People who grow up in under the worst, most miserable conditions in history will somehow manage to be deeply humane and righteous, while people who grow up in the best conditions possible (Mayo Pete, Harris) will still turn out to be dogshit human beings.

          I'd rather not count on the exceptions and instead strive for a world where kindness and generosity and love are encouraged and rewarded from the formative years onward, and cruelty and greed and malice are not.

          The "best" conditions you mentioned aren't necessarily the best even if they're materially comfortable. Exceptions may exist (maybe :pete: had a loving nurturing childhood with plenty of opportunities to care about other people), but even if they do, I refuse to believe the impossible to prove claim that the same number of people would be good and bad regardless of the environment around them.
