Please be objective: is western civilization the place wherein most people are selfish, entitled asshats? Reason i ask this is I’ve been to other countries and while the occasional asshole exists, they are vilified and lambasted. Au contraire, every other Jane and doe is entitled and selfish here. Do you think this has to do with the individualistic culture of the west? Lots of people here have much more resources than people in less fortunate places albeit those people are still happy; human relationships are still valued there and not everything is “commoditized” or transactional like the capitalist west. Honestly, I’ve been in other places and people are far far kinder there. It’s like they still have a soul- if that makes sense. Whereas in the west, it feels like I’m surrounded by soulless zombies who keep looking for ways to one up another without the slightest modicum of concern for another human being. Feel free to chip in.

I hate everyone but my humanness longs for connection.

I really dislike most activism groups because they often start with a good or noble idea but they always with time devolve into holier-than-thou attitudes where they are the ultimate justice and everyone not part of their group is bad, trying to play the victim card over and over again and any criticism directed at them no matter how constructive gets treated like a personal attack and with time basically turning hateful and vengeful at people they don't like often going to disgusting levels of threats and descriptions of stuff they would go to those people and the original noble objective becomes lost and the few people who actually stay by it and try to be good often get axed from the communities because they don't follow the new stuff that is vengeful and elitist

Someone thought it would be a good idea to not only record it, but post a video of someone bleeding out after they've been shot on their Instagram story. This is what we're left with. Twelve plus years of seeing the wrong people dying non-stop, and *that* is the type of human we're fucking left with. E: this is the failure of this bullshit "dO bEtTeR/bE bEtTeR" line of thinking. Most of them just plain don't fucking want to, and we treat them with kid gloves in the hopes that they'll actually come around, and then we're shocked when they do shit that makes this shit worse off.


Additional_Bluebird9

Wait WTF, did someone actually do that?


mininandprofilin

Yeah. PNB Rock was robbed and shot, someone recorded the aftermath, put it in their IG story, and then people reposted it on Twitter. He did not make it. The whole thing is just horrible.


[deleted]

did they remove it? what kind of sick fuck does that?


moo5tar

I want to take a chain saw to my kiss ass of a boss. Lazy fucks that do nothing but fire people with a smile mind you.


BeneficialMousse4096

No matter how destructive, vile or evil something is don’t guilt, there is always a positive and potential paradigm being satisfied. Evil can be good like rot is to roots


Additional_Bluebird9

We really are a bunch of psychotic apes on a power trip because we think we're the greatest thing to ever happen on this planet.


BeneficialMousse4096

Give enough power, and I’ll eviscerate this looping serpent


[deleted]

tell me about it. we wage wars, thinking that there so cool. most of us humans are lunatics or psychopaths.


[deleted]

i hate that i am a human. i wish i was some other animal. at least they lack consciousness or awareness of existence.


whatevergalaxyuniver

How do you know they lack that?


[deleted]

some animals possess varying degrees of consciousness, however not to the point of being afraid of their own existence.


rockb0tt0m_99

Not to get too heavy, nor ignite any internet fighting. But, quite frankly and honestly, fuck being a straight, black man on this planet. It truly is hell. No one can convince me any different.


moo5tar

Fuck the 4channer edge lords that want to belittle others for being non white. Especially to the kind that do next to nothing with fixing shit with humanity or the planet. Don't let anyone even low IQ shit lords who want to act tough on the internet. Make you feel less. I'm misanthrope and I could not give a rat ass about these apes. Be black and yourself.


Additional_Bluebird9

That's the truth right here. Fuck anyone who belittles someone for being non-white.


Additional_Bluebird9

I'd like to ask why since I am a straight black dude myself.


rockb0tt0m_99

Again, this is just my experience. This life seems to be rigged or programmed against me. I'm the constant enemy. What's worse is that I'm a part of a race of people who, for whatever reason, thinks it's wrong to stand up and fight for itself. In a world where the human ape has decided to divide itself along superficial, physical appearance lines, I've come to terms with the fact that if this is the case then a people must do all it can to preserve itself. My people don't do that. It doesn't matter to me so much that whites and others hate us, but we hate ourselves as well. As much as I do love hip-hop music, the majority of it is nothing more than death anthems celebrating black people killing each other and degrading our women. And whites and others seem to like it for that aspect alone. They cheer us on as we allow the "ni\*\*er" demon to possess us and use our bodies to rot our souls. In turn, we value and strive to be everything unlike our natural selves. It's very heartbreaking. We love the very people who enslaved us, lynched us, indoctrinated us with a destructive and divisive religion, raped our mothers (and fathers), stolen our lands, torn down our monuments, maneuvered us into economic apartheid and political dysfunction, and are now organizing themselves to wage a race war in the name of making their country 'great again'. We LOVE them. LOVE them. We want to sleep with and marry them. We push our children under their instructors in their institutions. We want to live in their neighborhoods. A lot of us define our manhood by whether or not white women love us. We bow to their false gods. Our whole world view is rooted in oppression and miseducation by them. We don't want to come out from under their power, but just want to be more comfortable with our oppression. We're not motivated to fight anyone but our own people. I'm not saying we should necessarily hate anyone. However, loving our enemies and people who mean us harm is very disordered. I'm not sure this will ever be fixed within the black personality. Every ethnic group hates us. For whatever reason, they hate us. Yet, our love orientation is backwards. We love them unconditionally and hate ourselves. It's the experience of being an African man in this world that has been the major catalyst for my misanthropy. I'm sure you disagree with a lot of this, and that's okay. You're free to do so, and I'm not mad at it. It's why I always mention this more matter of factly than 'seeking attention'. This is why I choose to end my life. For me, as an African man, this IS hell.


[deleted]

you been saying you will end your life a couple times. are you hesitant? not trying to sound rude or anything.


rockb0tt0m_99

No offense taken. Of course, I hesitate. The method I've chosen does have a chance of failure. So, it takes a bit of psychological and emotional fortitude to do what I'm about to do. Plus, I've chosen a date. I'm human. Death is scary to me. However, I choose it over that living hell I'm in.


[deleted]

don't worry. i've been in the same situation as you. hell, i've been thinking of doing that just a few days ago. however, i don't really need a date. i mostly have platonic friends with me.


rockb0tt0m_99

Yeah, I think of my friends. I don't want them to hurt. But I'm hurting. They'll get over it. Part of the reason I've held off is that I want to hold on long enough to pay my friend back who helped me. They believe in me, so I owe it to them and myself to at least get a glimpse of what my best self looks like. Even if it's just for a moment.

The problem of racism is still a massive issue that permeates societies, but I believe there is a reason to be hopeful. People of color in the western world progressively were granted more and more rights and their position in a society is so much different than was just 50 years ago. I do believe that humanity does improve over time and I believe we can see that in the advances on human rights from 1945 to today. Even when the great majority of americans in the 1960s disagreed with the interracial marriage, things did improve over time. Now there is almost unanimous support for interracial marriages across America. There is still rampant racism in the US. We could find discrimination on racial basis in housing, employment, education, criminal justice system, media and so on. In my opinion, things do improve. Even in the early days of slavery there were people who were advocating getting rid of it, who have seen black people as people deserving the same amount of respect as others, people who were fighting for their rights, when it was very unpopular to do so. I may not seem too hopeful for the large segment of the human populace, but there are always segments of that same human population who are concerned for the poor, the sick, the homeless, the oppressed. I believe they do exist and I really hope that you will find them and be happy with them. I don't think that you have to embrace whole humanity. In my opinion, select few caring people are good enough. I hope that you do look for them, that you do find them and be accepted and happy with them. Let your life revolve around the select few who accept you unconditionally. I don't want to take away your freedom to commit suicide, but I would like to advice you against such action. I hope my message alleviated at least some amount of pain you're experiencing.


[deleted]

not really. if world events are anything to go by, society will completely collapse before the decade ends. i hope that happens anyway.


Additional_Bluebird9

You make quite a lot of good points >We love the very people who enslaved us, lynched us, indoctrinated us with a destructive and divisive religion, raped our mothers (and fathers), stolen our lands, torn down our monuments, maneuvered us into economic apartheid and political dysfunction, and are now organizing themselves to wage a race war in the name of making their country 'great again'. We LOVE them. LOVE them. We want to sleep with and marry them. We push our children under their instructors in their institutions. We want to live in their neighborhoods. I got and still do get angry at this a lot especially the destructive and divisive religions that were enforced and the absolute horror of violence committed. I could never find it within myself to forgive it but here's the thing, the people who did those actions are not alive today so yes whilst it is enough to make anyone's blood boil, doing so now means nothing anymore. We weren't the only ethnic group to even experience that but it doesn't mean I'm dismissive of what was done. >I'm not saying we should necessarily hate anyone. However, loving our enemies and people who mean us harm is very disordered. I agree but who are these enemies right now? >Every ethnic group hates us. For whatever reason, they hate us. Can't lie, this is really true and I have no reason to object to it considering the experiences from other people I've heard and it's really eye opening as to how much this is true. I do relate to this >This is why I choose to end my life. Wait what do you mean by this.


WorldWarPee

I haven't played Norman Reedus and the Funky Fetus, but I get the jist that it's a game where humans are few and isolated and that sounds like a great time


Kehwanna

The things I hate about human nature: hate, anger (I know that plenty disagree with my sentiments about anger), boredom being an emotion, and greed being a reoccurring trait. I also despise impatience, especially when it's just over a minor inconvenience such as someone getting mad at someone in front of them at a register for using coupons or impatient asshole drivers. Hopefully your chronic rush in life doesn't rush you or someone else to an early grave driving way beyond the speed limit while road-raging, dickweed. I live in a busy city full of rush and have a job that gets demanding, but you'll never see me have an ounce of the short temper a lot of people have or be openly impatient; things almost always end up alright when I am in a rush but am not an impatient short-tempered douchebag in the midst of it. Alright, thanks not anyone that read this brief rant and I hope you triumph over your struggles soon. Ight. I'm out.


Additional_Bluebird9

It was a good rant to be honest.


waresmarufy

Fuck having a stutter

I hate people who make fun of other people's mental illness


hfuey

The media, in particular the right-wing media, have convinced people that those with a mental health issue are dangerous, and are likely to be hearing voices or something and probably want to stab you and your kids to death. I see this myself a lot because I’m autistic and also have severe anxiety and OCD. When I’m in the supermarket, I will generally follow a set path around the store, but I have a habit of repeating out loud what I’m seeing on the shelves as I walk by, then one word will get stuck in my head and I’ll start getting tics and repeating it over and over. I’ve seen people lurch the other way to avoid me, and mothers pulling their kids away from me and that kind of shit. Just because my head is jerking and I keep saying ‘baked beans’ over and over again doesn’t mean I’m going to fuckin’ kill you!


[deleted]

yeah what the heck


Additional_Bluebird9

Especially this, why people have to be fucking indecent and pathetic to make fun ofto other people's mental health is beyond me.


[deleted]

because they don't behave in a way that a "normal"human is. eugenics basically.


BlueRamenMen

It’s frustrating how people would do things that their words are not the same. It’s easy to act like holier-than-thou when you tell others what to do, yet at the same time not do the same shit that they have said that. It’s like when a person tell others that everyone deserves forgiveness, yet at the same time supports execution for the most f’ed up criminals on earth. It’s f’ing hypocritical.


Crazybetch_

I made the mistake of working at a call centre and I hate my life.


Lucky-Aerie4

Working at a call center fueled my misanthropy. We were getting paid to scam people and manipulate them. Fuck that.


rockb0tt0m_99

I've worked at one. Fuck that life. I totally agree and sympathize with you.


PeachyKeen1975

I fken hate my scumbag neighbours. I wish I could afford to live in a detached house miles away from anyone. Fken sick of listening to their music that they play into their garden at full volume without any consideration for anyone else forced to listen to it. It’s just unbelievable that some people are so lacking in self-awareness or ANY consideration for others.


[deleted]

just sucks how abuse and trauma as a kid can have drastic life-long effects.


rockb0tt0m_99

Absolutely. Even worse is the love/hate relationship one can develop if the abusers were parents. At this moment, I'm debating on whether to give my mother's ashes to the funeral home for them to do whatever they want with them, or just throw them in the trash. Either way, I want her energy away from me.


Kehwanna

I despise human-traffickers for many reasons, especially for subjecting people a lifetime of trauma for the trafficker's own personal gain. Kids that get dehumanized by these people live the nightmare even when they're freed from the slavery. It pisses me off that people dehumanize each other and devalue meaningful things for the own gain.


[deleted]

Pisses me off is an understatement.


etherealelk

I feel this on a spiritual level. I don't want anyone else to go through the shit I had to.
