Not a reference. A remark that society really is full of nasty people and ideas that are more widespread than most people are comfortable with accepting. To refine that down to a smaller sentence: People suck. Sadly, if someone tries to parody that or subtly point it out, generally people will either get the wrong idea or be horribly offended.
Take, for example, Anonymous. "We are void of human restraints, such as pity and mercy... All have the potential to be Anonymous until they choose not to..." "We're what you, deep down inside, wish you could be when your wife cheats on you, when your son hates you, when your daughter leaves you, when the waiter spills wine on you, when your boss ridicules you."
All humans have that dark little voice down inside of them that says things that society deems unacceptable. The "id", as Freud named it. Some people choose to deny its existance, and that is why they react so strongly when society's flaws are pointed out.
