I'm a misanthrope because I'm better than most people. I have self-control so the fat guy squishing me into the side of the plane makes me mad at him. I have intelligence, so the commercial double talk is insulting so I hate them. I'm a better driver, so I hate the idiots that can't bother to understand traffic etiquette that make it dangerous to drive...etc. I think you get the gist of it. I'm basically punished because of 99% of the human race are dolts. Of course I'm going to be peeved. Yall slow down my growth and enjoyment of life.
These aren't the best examples and I could sugar coat it but I'm getting bleary eyed and need to get to sleep. So I'll leave it as is and see what the reaction will be.

You are right on many levels, most of my hatred of a large populace of people comes from a sense of superiority, but that only explains so much. There very intelligent people that profit off the dumb, the weak, the fat, the poor, etc. Example; Lou Pearlman, used his brains to get over on a lot of people, but he disgust me. I doubt I could stop myself from choking the life out of him if I met him.
Here, let me throw in some objective real world knowledge though. Most of my friends are misanthropes, and they post here. I had the opportunity to room with one for two years in a two bedroom apartment, damn near best of friends. Before it was over we were at each others throats hating each other, even though we spent a lot of time proving our intellect through deep discussions and still we both couldn't wait to get out. Now obviously there wasn't the thought that he was inferior, but in the end I came to the conclusion that misanthropes can't live together, and my hatred doesn't 100% stem from a sense of superiority.
