It's important to have a maximum hate level calibrated to within the tolerances of sanity. If you don't have a set definition for 100% animosity level clearly defined in your mind, you can kind of wreck yourself.

I try to have 100% animosity defined as "I am not going to John Wick this guy, but they're no longer part of the social contract that keeps me from thinking that would be fine if it happened".

Hating anyone harder than that will only harm me.

Yeah one must understand how much hate they can handle. My hatred level sits comfortably at Warhammer Fantasy Dwarf Slayer levels.

Having read Felix and Gotrek books, I expect to hear of your exploits soon on my favourite comedy true crime podcast.

I said my anger was like that of a Slayer, but I am far too meticulous also broke. I also live in the middle of fucken nowhere SoCal, I am impotent with mine rage.

It really is like drinking poison and hoping the other guy dies. You don't deserve the stress.

Trust me it aint nothing like that, plus I have far far closer groups to hate. Like the fucking Seventh day Adventists, fucking cultists have been a pain in my family's side for generations.

Good approach. I don't hate people, I respect that something in their developmental process must have seriously damaged their brains for them to become as messed up as they ended up being. I mean - my definition of normal people is that they do not give a shit about money beyond "having enough to comfortably live their lives in good health", and that they would share even what little they have if they see someone suffer. You must be brain-damaged / developmentally damaged in order to suppress empathy on a daily basis, or not even feel it at all.

At worst, I despise people for what they are / the decisions they make.

That's pretty objective. Very correct, and nothing I can dispute. Sadly that approach is incompatible with my brain damage.

Jokes aside, you're gonna end up hating some people (perhaps temporarily) even if you take into account the rich tapestry of life and the fragility of human wisdom. It's just human nature.

Just to be clear, my "You must be brain-damaged" was a generic "you", as in "one must be", not directed at you :)

No mistake, just being funny
