I believed this, too, before COVID hit and I saw ~half my country try to throw everyone else under the bus so that they could continue to eat at their favorite restaurants, and buy their khakis, and hoard goods to price gouge their neighbors, and just making a belligerent scene any time they were unable to do something the way they want to. Many people will naturally pull together and act cooperatively and altruistically, but also many, many people just live to grief everyone else.
