Because Adam is a sadist and phsycopath because he is the embodyment of fight fire with fucking fire. To quote another man this one not a fictional one.

"Beware that when fighitng monsters, you yourself do not become a monster" -Fredrich Nietzsche.

Adam says he's justified in his hatred and cruelty because no doubt he's seen humans justified in treating faunus as "animals" instead of thinking feeling beings. The series has dropped hints that Faunus are still being treated like shit. Key example the Schnee Dust company border line slavery of the Faunus. As well as how blake in anger told Wiess maybe they were tired of being treated like shit.

So again he wasn't the dick he is now because he is the world shaped him into one. As stated previously, Blake said what happened. He was an oppressed faunus like the rest, he just started resorting to violent methods more and more often until it became clear to her that he was going out of his way to be a violent asshole. And sure, we've been told that the humans treat faunus like shit, but outside of one equal-oppurtunity asshole and someone who has legitimate grievances against the WF we haven't actually seen these things for ourselves. And outside of Oobleck, our sources on this matter aren't exactly unbiased.
