people who blame the tories, or corporations, or the republicans or welfare cheates, or immigrants on why things are bad
This is missing the point. If the world is awful, violent, stupid and dysfunctional, it's because people in general are awful, violent, stupid. and dysfunctional. It's a reflection of our shortcomings. You, me, the lot of us. It won't change because we will go extinct long before humans evolve into something better equipped to deal with managing a planet. And even if they do, we'll all be long dead.
I recommend avoiding other people if at all possible. And carry a stick.

I'm bloody not. I'm absolutely marvellous.
It's all the other scummers that are the problem.

Generally, I agree
But not everyone in the world is bad; there is a fair proportion that are nice, and would be community-spirited enough that if the whole world were populated by this type of person, the rush toward annihilation could be halted.

Unfortunately a community such as this can be blown apart by one arsehole. To counter being taken advantage of by said arsehole, the nice members of the community would need to up their own arsehole rating.

So yes, the world is inhabited by arseholes. Some are born arseholes, others have arseholeness thrust upon them.

Or some of us thrust upon arseholes whilst being arseholes and/or cunts.

Whilst you have a point
some countries are a lot less awful, violent, stupid and dysfunctional than others.

Those tend to be the countries with high taxes, excellent public services, progressive justice systems, and those generally controlled by sociodemocratic politics.

Just sayin.
