This isn't about "getting it together". "If only humans were more perfect, everything would be ok" arguments are obnoxious, and pathologizing all of humanity reeks of a recycling of the "original sin" dogma on the right. It's ironic to both laud the greater good and write off a whole species in a single comment.
There are people high in conscientiousness, who like to follow innumerable rules, moralize others who don't, and administer justice and revenge (on both sides of the political spectrum). There are people high in openness and empathy, who like to think "big picture" and try to improve the world.
These are just personality traits. Both types of people have existed throughout history, exist now, and will exist.
Defeatism will not bring about any change. Build your own platforms, brands, build followings, and change things. The masses have never brought about any change, they only ever did so when being led.
