Is being susceptible to lies and fearmongering a trait of someone who is good? Are people who wish death on others in response to lies and fearmongering good?
To boil down even further towards the Truth: If humanity were largely good, we would not need a savior.
Good can not dwell with evil. The fact that all fall short and do wrong, means we are not good. 50% good is not good enough.
Why do children lie without being taught? Self-interest and a lack of innate morals to understand why doing so is bad.
Good and evil is a binary. Sure, in the day to day it varies, but in the grand scheme of things, it is one or the other.
If someone is 99% good, but the other 1% is them being a serial killer, they are not a good person.
If someone is 99% good, but the other 1% they lie to cheat people out of stuff and enrich themselves, they are not a good person.
Everybody does something bad from time to time, so nobody is truly good.
Just because most people aren't a 1% demon doesn't make us largely good. History demonstrates that we are not, and handwaving that as some cabal lie or as if the cabal were/are behind everything bad, is to completely deny our observable reality, where people are perfectly happy to wish death upon those they are told to hate by the media, without a second thought.
You are not being logical. Different decisions and actions dictate your karmic debt. Obviously someone who donates to charity and is a serial killer won’t be 99% good and 1% evil. The two actions are weighted differently karmically. Don’t be ridiculous because we get no where with this apples to oranges comparison.
There is no karmic debt. Only judgement by the One and Holy God.
And according to His judgement, one sin, one act of imperfection, means death. From the highest crime to the lowest.
I tried to make my position there clear in a less direct, heavy-handed way, but that is where I am coming from.
In my view, no one is truly good. We are all capable of both good and evil, sure, but no one is perfectly, truly good. And as good can not dwell with evil, being "largely good", even if true, will get us nowhere.
All of our history demonstrates that our nature is sin, not good. And the hand-wave that is blaming the cabal for everything is unsatisfying. The problem isn't just the cabal, it's human nature.

51% or more positive is what we have. Which means more people are good than evil. 50% would mean even.
