I remember I got into an argument on reddit awhile ago with a person over Italian food. It got to the point they were following me into other subs to harass me. I clicked on their profile to block them and their most recent post was them drinking their own piss on r/piss. At that moment I realized I had spent so much pointless time arguing about the taste of food with someone who drinks their own piss as a hobby. This site is a shit hole.

Fair enough :)

I just don't see how believing the worst in your fellow human can encourage you to improve things.

Pessimism is easy and lazy thinking. People also think it makes you look more insightful and wiser to look down your nose at everything.

It doesn't, it never did, it never will.
