Humans do work that way. In the wake of disaster, and tragedy, and scarcity, we see people sharing resources and helping each other.

And also opportunists that will take the opportunity to loot and steal, then happily abandon anyone behind them still in the disaster.

If your baseline assumption is reliant on people doing… well, much if anything outside of being self serving it will break down fast.

That is exactly the sociopathic propaganda I mentioned, that simply isn't backed by evidence, but casts people with empathy as ignorant.

It’s not propaganda to acknowledge shitty people exist and will try to take advantage of any situation, it’s just basic reality when you’re out from behind a keyboard.

It's not propaganda to acknowledge they exist.

It's propaganda to normalize sociopathic behavior as the appropriate response to sociopathy.
