I hate everyone

I have gotten more and more cynical over the last few years(the lack of intelligence of the average poster at this forum certainly hasn't hurt that process), and I am now at the point where I just hate everyone. I hate Democrats and I hate republicans. I hate the libertarian party and I hate the Green party. I hate American foreign policy, and I hate Islamists. I hate Israel and I hate Hamas. I hate Al-Nour but I also hate Mubarak and the SCAF. I hate Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney, etc but I also hate Obama. It isn't a nice place to be, but I don't think my cynicism has come from being less inherently positive. I am still relatively optimistic about the world, even if almost every politician and political group sucks. It comes from being more informed, and realizing how bad everyone really does suck, and getting tired of making excuses for the people who do suck. It is just easier to criticize everyone, and then not be required to be a intellectual dishonest hypocrite.

So I guess what I want to get at is, how do people reconcile themselves with the fact that the party they support does terrible things? Or do people enjoy looking like hypocritical dicks?

PS. I am not sure where I want to go with this, it was more that I just wanted to rant.

 

It could be worse............

 

I think that for most of us, we just try to back the party that we think will less terrible things. I find lots of things ... maybe most of the things ... that democrats do to be annoying at best. But the things they do don't seem as terrible to me as the things that republicans do.

 

Just vote for who ever will grow the government by less. That's the lesser of two evils.

 

Spamming for friend requests?

 

It could be worse for who? The people in the picture? How so? Do you mean for me? Well, quite clearly. I am quite blessed. I have great parents who raised me well, and I am now a graduate student at a top university in one of the richest cities in the world. However I am not so narcissistic and such a navel-gazer that my own personal satisfaction is all that matters. Of course it is very important, but I don't see the connection between that, and my own personal prosperity. I am lucky that I was born in a well to do suburb of Chicago, and not in Kenya, but the plight of others matters to me as well(maybe it shouldn't, it would make things a lot easier).

 

If you've concluded that you hate everyone, your own personal satisfaction is all that matters to you.

 

I think in rhetoric many Republicans are disgusting pigs, who are racists, homophobes, Islamophobes, hate the poor and working class, etc. However in action, I don't think they are significantly worse than Democrats.

 

I hate every political organization, not all people. I actually like people individually, just not when they combine to form groups. Though I suppose that is a fair point.


PS. To expand, I don't hate the Palestinian people. I care about them, and support their fight for rights and an end to the occupation. However, I hate every group that works to make that a reality. Hamas is a hateful terrorist group, same for Hezbollah. Fatah is corrupt and incompetent. So I support Palestinian rights, but not their representative groups. Similarly I strongly support what I feel are the best interests of the American people, I just don't think any major group has those interests in mind, or they are wrong about how to best achieve those interests(Democrats and republicans fall in the former category, the Libertarian party the latter).

 

This is the sort of meaningless and simplistic nonsense that I hate.

 

So you can take care of yourself but the hoi polloi cannot?

You may not think of yourself as a narcissist, but you clearly see most others as your inferiors. Misanthropy and being an elitist (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) tend to go hand in hand.

 

There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers.

 

I see most others as inferior? I see that I had a privileged upbringing which gave me opportunities many others never had. That means that they aren't as well off as I am, but that is because of factors outside their control. Many of those factors are directly linked to the groups and organizations that I hate.

 

Really dude? You just made a thread about how you hate everyone for possessing flaws you consider yourself to uniquely lack. You aren't the first person on the interwebs to post a "I hate everyone" thread. Though most people go through this stage as a teenager, not as an 'adult'.

 

Well then screw the collectives stop focusing on them, interact with people at an individual level and view them as such it leads to better dialog and conclusions. If you don't want these groups to actually affect you move somewhere rural where they have less influence.
You keep ranting against people who support friendly fascists but what alternative do they have what alternative do you pursue? I don't know anything about you, but I'd assume you support them through finances (cheap products, taxes) like most people and all that I know you do in response is whine about it. Do you actively participate in actions against these forces or do you just talk about how you are against them? If you don't do any actions try some, you may find them rewarding... be creative.

 

Here is a little something that maybe you could better put to utility than I. Paris recently sent it to my profile but I couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Maybe there was suppose to be a message?

 

You do have a strong point.

 

I do actively work against them, but the problem is I also hate the groups that work against them!! So that is a problem.

 

liberals must support the lesser of two evils even though the President picks winner and loser corporations and rich individuals, the winners on our side are more moral than the republican winners.

our winners support welfare and homosexual rights, the republican winners support oil wars

 

Yes, those organizations have flaws I don't, because my lack of loyalty to those organizations means I am not required to hypocritically support those organizations and the terrible things they do. Anyone is free to take a similar stance, and many do. I am hardly alone.


PS. And once again, I hate political parties, groups, organizations, governments, etc. Not all people. That is an important distinction. One is a sign of being a sociopath, the other is a sign of being politically aware, and wanting to avoid intellectual dishonesty and hypocrisy.

 

I don't think you get it...

 

You are going off on some awfully vague generalities here. The political parties are rather large and full of many candidates who believe many different things.

Also, I don't believe misanthropy has anything to do with being a sociopath. In any event I was more calling you a narcissist than a sociopath. A sociopath doesn't hate people, they just see people as objects that may or may not be useful to them.

 

The title of your thread is blatantly misleading.

You like everyone. Every (*)(*)(*)(*) one.

You hate every group.

Quite an obvious discrepence between one and group.

 

both parties don't have the exact same policies that is proven with emperical evidence from their legislations

there is a choice

 

Oh shut up!!
