    Misanthropy is an understandable sentiment, but succumbing to it robs you of the agency to make the world a better place.

      This pisses me off. I can’t make the world a better place. We can’t make it a better place. We are the very reason it’s as bad as it is! Squirrels aren’t out there with ponzi schemes. Toads aren’t building machines that destroy natural resources. Scorpions aren’t committing genocide in the name of a made up God so they can take land from other scorpions. We are the only thing on this planet that does not fit into the systems that exist. I know that kind of statement bothers people because you believe yourselves to be good because your aren’t X, but everything you and I do causes suffering. Everything.

      No no, you can choose to make the world a better place by removing humanity from it.

      It’s not very cash money of you to do it but you can do it. Unless the humanity we’re talking about are just the humans with an awful lot of cash money… That’s a different story
