    “evil and violence is not the natural state of humanity. this is not what humanity is like.”

    [picks up history textbook]

    [reading] Oh no.
    [flips a few pages ahead] Oh no. Oh dear.
    Oh god oh golly oh jeez oh fuck [frantic flipping through book, trying to find the part of human history without lots of violence and evil]

    perhaps it’s some confirmation bias – it being easier to write, both contemporarily and in hindsight, about the year a war kicked off than the years of fuckall happening before it – but no I’m fairly confident at least half of all of us are proper assholes, possibly more than half, and always have been; personal learned experience has further reinforced this. Misanthropy is only really unhealthy for oneself when you don’t know who you should be directing that anger at.
