Misanthropes, let's talk
Ok, so yeah, it's been awhile since i've posted anything and I have a message that tells to talk to someone. So I want to start a conversation about misanthropy. Before I go any further I wish for it to be known I'm mainly posing my discussion towards other misanthropes like my self.
Ok so here goes...
How does someone come to hate their own? Is it nature or nurture? Obviously there're strong arguments for nurture, abused as a child, traumatic experience(s), or just upbringing by a spiteful parent with a skewed ideology, and etc.
Nature as with all great nature v. Nurture debates as an overwhelming lack of evidence to support it's argument. How can you say you were born with a different ideology than someone else? I know I can't make such a bold claim, but if pressed for an answer for my own situation I would have to say I was born slightly cynical. I have no evidence to prove it but my hatred doesn't stem from a past event. But then again my hatred is based on a view of the actions of a largely capitalist world. Would I still hate in an utopian setting? I know there are still good people out there, many better than I, so I try to keep an open mind when meeting new people.
So I'll end it here in fear I've already thrown too much out to talk about objectively. What are your views?
