and as usual you can trace it back to the capitalism. When your economic system rewards you for stepping on others that is the behavior you're likely to see. Change the rewards and there will likely be a corresponding change in behavior. The other way to ask the question is "who benefits from this?". The very wealthy are skilled at keeping the masses fighting with each other while they rob us all blind.

It's not a far stretch to see that this behavior in our economic interactions would cross over to other areas of our lives.
