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

Agreed, but IMHO that is a different conjecture to that of the meme.

I don't think so. Good things can't happen because of human nature: making good things happen involves groups making decisions, and in every group there are bound to be some assholes because that's human nature, that limits the kinds of good things that can happen.
