@lyngordon Yes, you are touching on something very important here! @pluralistic talks about this, how our portrayal of human nature in fiction about apocalypses can get us to believe people are inherently bad, and then that can become a self fulfilling prophecy. When people actually mostly want to help in real world disasters. But as you say, this bleak view can also be actively exploited, telling you if you are good, you need to be ready to destroy the bad guys.
