I wish it were something I could change, but from what I can see it's universal. It's not just endemic to the human condition either; weakness is often poorly tolerated in the animal kingdom especially among species with hierarchical social structures.
In my experience, evil people thrive because our opportunistic natures will openly embrace them under the right conditions. It's easy to pawn it all off on one notable individual in the history books, but it's so trivial to see that many of the most heinous crimes would never have occurred were it not for countless blind eyes, shaken hands, and interconnected webs of ambition. Many of these figures are hated in retrospect not in light of their evil but in light of their losses and failures. History, much like people in general, is very unkind to the losers.
I actually see a great deal of competence all around me. It's very rare for me to see my kind of incompetence out in the open. In my experience, when something goes wrong it's typically because the people involved simply don't care. People getting into car accidents cause they're goofing off on their phones or saying the wrong thing only after they first poison their brains with substances for fun or not getting work done because they either consider the consequences too light or know someone else will do it.
