That's because original sin and total depravity and self-interest are real and reliable. Anybody who tries to convince you that humans are inherently good and loving, are confused by behavior that can emerge in times of prosperity. When **** goes down, human nature comes out. "Nature, red in tooth and claw"
This happens in all those end of the world stories. When push comes to shove, we turn on each other.
