You and I both resonate on the same fundamental truth, but I get the sense that you're more actively wishing death, "I hope beyond hope that we fully die out", where I am more so just paranoid and avoidant. I agree that that activists do thankless work. The phrase, "We are predisposed to be cruel," sounds Hobbesian in that it presupposes that man is naturally cruel, though I never read Hobbes so I don't know actually. I think people are naturally irrational, but not cruel per se. I think they are also great at adapting, which leads to a frog in boiling water situation; there's a sort of natural adaptation to toxic environments without knowing how or wanting to fix it. I think you're more so an intense "hate humanity" misanthrope while I'm more a "mistrust & fear humanity" misanthrope. Fight/flight, anger/fear, both are responding to the same perceived stress.

Because it has massive implications. When I leave my house, I encounter people and i can't treat them equally. I have to be cogizent that they are batshit insane. I'm using colorful language for effect, and i recognize it's ableist. I mean more-so that they aren't' rational or intellectually honest. However, it's deeper than that because even when I'm home, i can't engage with people online either because they are the same people ahahaha. So I'm naming my cat "realty" so i can pay attention to reality or maybe "Clarity" because there is truth in love (such as petcare), and truth is clear.

Because I'm not insecure, nor do i feel unworthy. If people disagree in my worth, that's their issue, and again, it reconfirms the concept that they are insane

Maybe that would be a shower essay

That's fair when considering other massive online platforms. I guess subconsciously I assume people are somehow less insane in real life than online, but the book "just how dumb are we", facts in history, and other statistics show people are wackos universally

It's a complete thought. Subject + verb.

I'm not saying I'm not utterly insane too. I am a people afterall. Considering that 99% of people are non-vegan, nearly everyone is like a flesh-craving vampire/zombie. That's just scratching the surface as being a decent and intelligent person has more filters obviously. There are asshole vegans, so "not being an asshole" is another filter that groups many people into as well. I'd say majority of reddit/lemmy people are assholes.

You and I are playing two different games. it seems like you're trying to "take me down" while I'm just identifying your behavior patterns for the audience. False accusations, labeling & insults (e.g., troll, pathetic, incapable). These are all examples of emotional immaturity.

Each comment of yours fits the narcissistic style of speaking: Invalidation, blaming, emotional immaturity, you-statements.

 

Merriam defines

So hate is just the extreme end of an "unfriendly feeling" which is synonymous to a negative feeling. We can go "golden middle" on this and say that moderate negative feelings are ideal, but even the moderate form seems synonymous to bias or prejudice.
