I am an anarchist and I do not want to be a strongman. You sound like you don't have even the most basic understanding of anarchism as a political concept <.<
Ahh, the "human nature" argument. Never heard that one before /s
Because it's not correct, for a lot of reasons. Even the idea of "human nature" is pretty questionable, at least unless your conception of it is extremely broad and conditional ^.^
People are capable of cooperation and non-hierarchical/coercive organising and natural disasters and shit demonstrate this. This is just one example of proto-anarchistic organising among many.
I feel sorry for you that your experiences of fellow humans have been so unrelentingly negative. To clarify your position, are you saying groups of humans are incapable of altruism?
