In this case it is regressivism. (E) and it seems to be an inescapable facet of human nature.
I have this idea/fantasy that regressivism and authoritarianism, greed and many other behaviors that are the worst of humanity are due to childhood trauma and that if we are able to somehow eliminate 99% of it, we will eliminate almost all the shitbags and live in a comparative utopia. (I mean aside from the world being destroyed by global warming but anyway). I have zero evidence to support this but it gives me the tiniest sliver of comfort to think this might be possible. Of course it is possible that some people are just assholes genetically. Or maybe it is a combination of genetics and environment. But whatever.

A lot of therapists would agree with you. A lot.
