    I have the same and I think it’s something like this, but for humans:

    Like it’s not hard to abuse people’s trust, but if everyone did it, humanity would literally not exist. So we’ve learned to tolerate the dumb-fucks who don’t get that and try to “game the system” (ie just being selfish cunts) so that society and humanity overall will prevail.

    However since the industrial revolution, it hasn’t worked, because abusing the trust and good will of others has become even more efficient and the amount of capital one person can accumulate makes a single person so wealthy and powerful that they can actually ruin the lives of all the non-psychopathic people who aren’t being greedy society-destroying cunts.
