I hate misanthropy!
(Image kinda related)
I understand that humans have great capacity for doing evil, and we obviously have lots of flaws as individuals as well, but I hate this sentiment people have ESPECIALLY on Reddit and twitter, where they constantly talk about how evil humans are and how we should all die and that silly cats are better or whatever.
It’s especially annoying when it’s that smug kind of misanthropy where some people will think they’re better than you for constantly shitting on everybody no matter how good or bad they are. They always gotta say some dumb shit like “You don’t think humans are inherently evil? Well what about slavery!?” Why do anything? Why don’t I just keel over dead? If the world is that bad and every human is evil and fucked up and nothing will ever get better, why should I live?
Also, animals aren’t that much better. I understand that animals don’t have concepts of morality like we do, but doesn’t that make them even scarier? When animals do crazy shit to eachother, they can’t even comprehend the fact that what they’re doing is wrong (at least by human standards) so I guess animals are screwed up too. I don’t think animals are evil monsters. I love animals! But a common thing I see with misanthropes is how much they glaze animals and talk about how we’re evil parasites ruining their space, like if animals were on the same level of sapience as us, they wouldn’t be the exact same.
Humans are beings of duality, of great good and evil, and It’s up to you on what kind of person you can be! I understand that having trauma can warp your perception on humanity, but know that there will always be amazing people that will love and help you, and those good people outnumber the bad people, imo. Humans are cool! So are animals!
yes this is a spite post shhhhhhhhhhhh
