@SallyStrange @cadence022 @Adam_Cadmon1@mastodon.online This. The whole statement stems from the believe that we humans would be inherently evil, even though we probably ain't. Remember, the Stanford Prison study was borked as we only learned 2015; Real stories like from the Tongan Castaways tell a way different story.
Once you believe everyone is evil you'll act accordingly, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Just look at all the current fascist - they do EXACTLY what they supposedly fight, to the letter.

In response to this post@SallyStrange @cadence022 @Adam_Cadmon1@mastodon.online I firmly believe this to also be the reason why so many / most indigenous cultures were culturally ahead so far. They did not expect evil everywhere they look but, from all I learned, often fostered a deep understanding of natural interdependence and how to interpret behaviour in relation to necessity (amongst other things).
It's something our "western" culture inherently lacks, causing hypocrisy. One could even argue we're "culturally defective".
