It’s called being a pessimist.
Martin Seligman teaches in the book Learned Optimism that:
Optimists think any good thing that happens is permanent, pervasive and personal.
Optimists think any bad thing that happens is impermanent, specific and impersonal.
Pessimists flip flop these explanatory styles. The people you’re commenting on seem to be pessimistic about humanity.
