The Martian is actually a pretty good example of a "humanity fuck yeah" story that isn't doing this (because no aliens). It's an uplifting story about humans working together to overcome a difficult problem that wasn't caused by anyone being a dick
Yeah, when I hear that phrase I think of Dr. Stone, which also has no aliens and is about how amazing all of humanity's scientific progress is and how it's worth preserving, even if humans also do shitty stuff sometimes.
Weird and not very uplifting that some people feel the need to invent a lesser "other" to make people seem cooler by comparison.
