I have a simple yet conflicting view of misanthropy.

One one hand, I could see how misanthropes are justified in saying humans suck and all. Climate change, war, hate, etc...Yeah, humans do and say terrible things, I agree.

But on the other hand, despite their faults, I still like humans. I don't agree with the idea that another animal species on Earth is better than humans. I also think that hating humans - misanthropy - is a common belief and I just think that's way too overboard. Misanthropy actually contributes to whatever misgivings I have about people.

I have no problem with someone being misanthropic as long as it doesn't involve harming others.

So many people who call themselves misanthropes are fake.

They just wish that people would be nicer, or act how they want them to. That's not what misanthropy is.

when edgy people decide to be corny

i feel like somewhere along the way someone sold someone else the idea that being sad or angry meant you were smarter than the people who weren't and that gullible, miserable people buy into that shit hand over fist. 'misanthrope' is just a way to say 'i'm a raging narcissist' while scoring cred with the other people who bought into the lie.

I am fascinated by the question, "What is a good job for a misanthrope?"

The common answer is lighthouse keeper. You live alone in a lighthouse, making sure that ships can see you. No interaction with other people

I suppose that being a farmer is a good job for a misanthrope

Real misanthropes are not found in solitude, but in the world; since it is experience of life, and not philosophy, which produces real hatred of mankind. -Giacomo Leopardi

Some of the opinions I've seen from them genuinely make me hope they're on some kind of watch list.

Surely there's a lot of people moving into solitude after years of living in the world surrounded by people?

i have become much more careful about making statements like 'i hate people' or 'i hate everyone' because i'm so sick of hearing other people share that sentiment. it's not helpful. it's hurtful. i'm slowly realizing this.

I'm in the same boat as this to be totally honest - it's like nah, but you're cool too

I dont know that the drug metaphor is apt since exposure to a substance increases your tolerance towards it.
