You know I think Misanthropy is the ideology I find most annoying. It is just such a disingenuous ideology that ignores all good aspects of humanity and promotes a "fuck you got mine" mindset and the just utterly absurd belief that human life has no value.

But anyways my annoyed venting stemming from a discussion I had IRL about this how are you guys doing today?
I do be tired

Never hear about misanthropy? But anyway, I'm good. Today is a Muslim holiday at my time zone and family's going to visit from out of town. I'm doing my homeworks for now tho, so I can't really feel the holiday's atmosphere.

Misanthropy is basically a hatred of humanity that believes that humans are some kind of evil species, sentiments I find incredibly obnoxious and just wrong.

And yeah homework sucks. Hope you have fun visiting your family!

If anything this poem by Heine might be more apt, considering the subject matter:

There’s a mirror likeness between the two
Bright, youthfully-shaped figures, though
One’s paler than the other and more austere,
I might even say more perfect, more distinguished,
Than the one who’d take me confidingly in his arms –
How soft then, loving, his smile, how blessed his glance!
Then it might well have been, that his wreath
Of white poppies touched my forehead, at times,
Drove the pain from my mind with its strange scent.
But all that’s transient. I can only, now, be well,
When the other one, so serious and pale,
The older brother, lowers his dark torch. –
Sleep is good: and Death is better, yet
Surely never to have been born is best.

The "fuck you, I got mine" mindset is mostly a libertarian one. The misanthrope is of the opinion that the whole human race is fucked, because individual acts of kindness and benevolence are clearly not enough to neutralize the destructive nature of the vile human beast, or something like that.
