    So research scientists are claiming someone who understands the truth about how corrupt the “environment” is, obtained via sensory stimuli and everyday situations, which weighs upon their mind and naturally causes them to be less than accepting of the overall situation, and who expresses this via words and actions, is suffering from “negativity bias”? Yeah, sure, right.
