Ok. Are you sure it's actual hate and not contempt, loathing, disregard, distaste, lack of respect ... ?


Hate is just intense dislike. I don't "actively" (as you put it) hate everything though. I don't go around wasting energy expressing my hate, but I do indeed hate, dislike, etc. pretty much everything (well, related with people).

Surely this is just a heady mélange of self-hatred and arrogant contempt more than actual hatred though?

Call it what you wish, all I know is that I generally dislike, hate, etc. pretty much anything human related. See this. I mean, I appreciate the good things we've managed to do, but usually it's negated by the shitty things we do.

We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Lolwut? Trying to be happy all the time just makes you more miserable. Hence why me starting to dislike everything making me happier/calmer.

People let their ego get in the way of actually accomplishing anything in politics. Turn on the news, "You're a racist/misogynist/Nazi!" Insults are much easier to come by than rational discourse. Drama (disguised as "views" or "morality") is dominating politics in the West.

People love to talk about how much freedom they have. However, they are the ones funding and voting for the corruption in the first place.

Where does drama not dominate politics?

I said it does--in the West. I don't follow politics outside of the West.

democracy + drama = dysfunction << That's our current formula.

Yes, of course. I've seen videos and read articles (especially concerning Japan). However, I don't see how the East is relevant, as it isn't my culture.
