Why are most people here are negative and rude?

Just to be clear here, I am not talking about instance, rather I am asking about the whole community.

There is no one I seen here who even had expressed any passion towards anything really.

I cannot understand how did that happen?

It very demonstrably is. Credit card debt is at record highs, home ownership is down, rents are a bigger proportion of salary than they've been in like a century, one in every five children in the US face food insecurity, incarceration is the highest in the world by far both in volume and per capita, people are going bankrupt with medical debt at record rates.

Just because you don't want to face up to it doesn't mean it's not happening.
