They're damned to make things worse for themselves, to make the wrong choices time and again. They love torture, they'd rather skin someone alive than have a conversation, their mouths water at the idea of violence. Humans are horrid things - they saw people in half for fun, they burn people for fun. Every facet of this species is vile. They don't want to solve problems, they want to celebrate ignorance while the world burns.
Humans can be greedy, selfish and violent for no good reason - there's no doubt about that. That sort of behavior exists all over the animal kingdom and I don't think we human animals are much more special than other animals other than language and metacognition.
I don't agree though that humans would rather skin someone alive or saw people in half for fun - at least not me. That sounds quite disgusting. Are you speaking about your own proclivities here? Are you saying humans are inherently geared to that type of behavior - sawing and burning and that type of stuff? I don't believe that either - if that were true you would see children doing that.

I can't recall the last time I witnessed our species of primate throwing our own feces in order to exhibit displeasure. Had to be careful how I worded that as I believe there are still cow chip throwing contests.
Chimps throw feces. Humans pull out each others fingernails and cut out their eyes.
Sadly, I've met a few prison correctional officers who can attest that people do throw their own feces. It's called "gassing".
