    Not quite, if that were the case the statement would be “because assholes”. By blaming “human nature” they’re self identifying as one of the assholes.

    Assholism is a diverse group with many discrete types of sub-asshole.

      It’s the nature of humanity that in any reasonably sized group, there are always a few assholes.

      It just means they recognize that we are all assholes on the inside. Some of us cognitively try to supress the assholeness. But it’s there. If it wasn’t you would have died of hunger as a baby probably. Cause boy-oh is screaming at 2am an asshole move.
