What part of the last fifteen or so years of human history leads you to the fairly surprising assertion that you should assume good faith?
i'm not entirely sure what you mean here tbh
They mean that they think that humans in general are very bad because war and theft and hunger and greed and all of that. I mean there's a shitton more than that in life but yeah I think that was their point.
It only becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy if you go into every situation thinking like that. Most people are pretty decent, it's only that they try to do what they believe is right.
