So y'all just gonna ignore all of human history showing that it's not a modern thing?
Humans have been dog shit from the beginning. Always at war, multiple genocides, constant ethnic cleansings, torture en masse, all of these things have been prevalent in all of recorded history.
As bad as capitalism is it's just another example of humanities inability to just be fucking decent to each other.
Yes 'humans' do this but I still think it doesn't have to be this way and a majority is not bad.
It is unfortunately easier to do something bad than good.
It's the sociopaths/psychopaths or simply greedy aggressive people who don't think twice about being ruthless and not playing by the rules that acquire power. The rest simply is put in a position to follow orders.
None of the people fighting wars want this, the people far away from the front who send them there do.
