Personally, my opinion of human nature falls somewhere in the middle of those two extremes.

I think when humans are given the choice to cooperate or fight, most choose to order a pizza.

A content creator I used to follow was fond of saying "Chill out, America isn't headed towards another civil war. We're way too fat and lazy for that."

Even ordering a pizza requires the cooperation of a functioning telecom system, a pizza manufacturer, a delivery person, a hungry customer...

Sure but I hope you get my point. Fighting takes effort, cooperation takes effort. Most people have other things to worry about and don't care about whatever it is you're fighting or cooperating over. People aren't motivated enough to try and sabotage the wikipedia articles of others. Even if they could automate it. There's just nothing in it for them.

The opposite of love and hatered is apathy.

For better or worse, it's also what makes for reliable systems.
