Do you find that it's hard to explain why you feel the way that you do? The misanthropes I know can give me hundreds of examples of human idiocy that get them angry, but never explain why it bothers them so much. Vice versa, they don't really understand why/how I choose to ignore it and I guess I don't really have an explanation for them either.
Maybe I'm reading into it too much and no one really has any concrete answers.

Who says I let it bother me a ton? Most feelings of hatred against humanity are fleeting and I know theyre rather futile so I put it behind me and enjoy my life. There's no clause in the misanthrope handbook that says we all have to be hatebots 24/7. Misanthropy is really a philosophical outlook, not a disease like depression. I decided a long time ago to carve out some happiness in all this darkness.
As far as specific reasons I can give you countless ones how dolts effect me everyday. For instance anyone who works and pays taxes are all effected by doltism. You pay at least triple your taxes for safety regulations, bailouts, extra police, firemen, military, etc. None of those things would be needed (or needed much much less, natural fires will happen, etc) if we didn't have so many dolts. Traffic is slower because people don't know how to drive, so whenever you get in a car to travel somewhere dolts are stealing part of your life. How does that not make you at least dislike them?
