Crapsack World - TV Tropes
A Crapsack World is a horrible setting where the jaded notion of "anything that can go wrong will go horribly, horribly wrong" almost always applies, and it corrupts its inhabitants into perpetuating that nastiness against each other. More …

"Although there are countless ways Crapsack Worlds can be depicted (often with Scenery Gorn), it is usually dark, and on the cynical end of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, so it will have either Grey-and-Gray Morality or Black-and-Gray Morality, if not outright Evil Versus Evil in the worst of cases (beware of Too Bleak, Stopped Caring if you decide to go this route though). Settings like these are not kind at all to idealists, who usually get traumatized and/or die horribly when their attempts to change the world through idealism meet tragic ends."

Democracy Is Bad - TV Tropes

Humans Are Bastards - TV Tropes

"In essence, Humans Are Bastards is the reverse of Rousseau Was Right — the natural proclivity of humanity is towards selfishness, apathy and violence. Only a select few people manage to rise above their base nature to become something better, but the kernel of darkness is still In the Blood. When Humans Are Bastards is in effect, even your "heroes" don't have clean hands, so most conflict is gray against black, with some gray against gray or black against black on for variety. Frequently used by Omnicidal Maniacs as an argument in favor of a Class 3a Apocalypse.
Humans being bastards doesn't preclude them being pragmatic about it, so if there isn't a profit to be made by making the world a hellhole, they might not, but if conditions are tolerable it certainly isn't due to any inborn altruism on the part of those in charge."

The Extremist Was Right - TV Tropes
Here are the people whom everyone, sometimes even the viewers, thought were the Well-Intentioned Extremist or Knight Templar that always turns out to be wrong â but instead they were completely right. Their ideas about how to go …

"Here are the people whom everyone, sometimes even the viewers, thought were the Well-Intentioned Extremist or Knight Templar that always turns out to be wrong — but instead they were completely right. Their ideas about how to go about making the world a better place are appropriate, and not only are they genuinely working toward a better world, they've succeeded in doing so, or else succeed during the course of the story. These are genuine examples of that term that so many villains falsely claim to be, necessary evils, within the context of the story."
-Hitler (wanted to save Germany from globalist banksters/NWO)
-Taliban (didn't want their cultures bastardized by Western influences/feminism)
-Basically every 'evil extremist' of the 20th and 21st century more or less.
Put simply, what we think of as 'good people' in popular culture is a very small minority of mankind. The typical baseline human is a worthless piece of trash. Whoever coined the term 'filthy masses' was very much on the point. Most people are legitimately worthless and only exist to perform manual labor for their masters.
I literally laugh out loud at the privileged fucks living in developed countries who think we somewhat aren't living in a dystopian grimdark universe.
These tropes quite accurately describe what humanity is like, yet they're generally treated by popular fiction like some kind of 'exception' for especially 'dark' settings when in fact they're actually just the default for mankind.
