Anyone have any advice on just kind of hating people in general less? I look at people, I know they’re huge on religious doctrines and societal models I have no place in, and I just can’t see any good in them worth considering. I try to go outside and connect with people, but everyone looks like a 4channer, or someone two slights away from becoming a 4channer. I can’t restrain the fear or loathing. It’s like the past twenty years have reduced my very capacity for compassion and my capacity to respect anyone period to molten slag.

Not sure any advice on a website is going to do you much good. Clearly you’re struggling with something but the way you’ve described your perspective it seems like you regard yourself as better than others.

What drove you to the left other than compassion for your fellow human? Surely you know some people who don’t even know what 4chan is or at least didn’t know it was still around. If you hate everyone what’s the point of fighting to make their lives better?

So people here say this a lot, but I think there’s a bunch of different things that draw people to the left besides empathy.

For one I would point out, most of us, myself included, are massive smarty pants nerds who like digging up random historical sources to own Libs and CHUDs. I think the self satisfaction of being right about fucking everything is a big draw. I think this was the case for a lot of historical communists too, Marx and Lenin def smart boys who liked being right about everything.

I think there’s also the belief that this is the right direction for human history to progress. I may not care a ton for a lot of humans alive right now, but what does my personal distaste matter? History marches on and I want to be on the right side of it.

Do you work retail? Cuz not working retail helped a lot. I got laid off from my manufacturing job and had to go back to it and now I’m considering worshiping the ruinous powers to bring humanity to and end in the name of CHAOS!

Retail is the fastest route to motherfuckin hating Amerikans; deep enough to consider sellin they asses out to their enemies when someone finally gets their nuts up to attack us; these consumers ain’t housebroke at all.

Night of the Consumers isn’t a horror game, it’s a fuckin documentary
