Human goodness and society are two different things. There are many great people that do amazing things that don’t it for credit or recognition or money. Most go unnoticed.
Society’s goodness is the average of all the individuals’ goodness that compose it. If society is bad, that means a majority of the people are bad, and some are a lot worse than the minority who are better than the average. It’s not a good outlook.
Where I agree to your fundamentals I think it gets lost in the noise. I think one loud and obnoxious asshole can make many great people look bad. Even if there are more of good stock than bad. You could argue that is a reflection of the people itself. However it’s not necessarily a lack of oversight. It’s an unprecedented event that makes the society look like a bunch of redneck assholes.
