wait til you figure out that all of human history is one giant cycle of people being incredibly cruel to other people for incredibly tenuous reasons and realize this cycle will, presumably, never end; and thus every interaction you have with other people is if not driven by transaction (what can you do for them), likely to be driven by cruelty.

sweet dreams, it doesn't get better.

You should be more focused on the complete monsters of those documentaries rather than the system used by society. Monsters have always existed and always will exist regardless of the system. Drawing attention away from them and letting them hide in society just let's them get away with it.
