I am focused on exposing the hypocrisy of the Stakeholder Capitalism model, where the people themselves are purported to have a stake in this reinvention of a corrupt system becoming even more corrupt. That's their achilles heel.
"In fact, we can find it unbelievable that other human beings could sink so low as to behave in such a way." — Similar to the reason most people are steadfast bluepillers ... they can't wrap their minds around the possibility that the government might not have their best interests at heart. Which in turn, makes them perfect marks for the criminocracy.
Is it that they really want to believe in the goodness of human nature, but are seeking this within the inhuman system rather than realising they need to step right of it to rediscover our humanity? And they are clinging on to the idea that they can influence the system through this attempt to be "good", and force that arc of the moral universe to bend towards justice, though there is no real energy to do that, stuck within said system.
To answer your question: yes, possibly. After all, I assume that the great majority of us "want to believe in the goodness of human nature".
That said, what I'm alluding to (and perhaps Paul is as well) is the inability of the average person to appreciate evil for what it is; to realize that it's more than just some theoretical quality; that it's an actual force at work in this world, operating on a level of malevolence we cannot grasp.
Along with an absence of conscience, it's what gives psychopaths such an advantage: the inability of non-psychos to realize what they're up against — real evil, unrestricted by conscience or morality.
"Here’s the most anti-programmatic of programmes: to release our grip rather than realising the umpteenth Big Work (political, economical, technological, medical). To release our grip on ourselves, on our fellow human beings, animals, plants, the Earth.
To sabotage the objectives of power so as to not buckle under its means. To destroy the destruction of humans by stopping its avant-garde and by unmasking its servants."

Yes, with the real "stakeholders" they have in mind being the billionaire class.
Sad but true.

Yes, I think we are saying the same thing.
