Not only did I love Sarah’s latest post (“Don’t Hate Me ‘Cause I’m Human“), I also loved her comment:
…if I hear ONE MORE twit-line (or read it) in move or book saying something like “We are a plague on the Earth” I’m going to… become even more angry than I am.
Those who say “We are a plague on the Earth” are by definition self hating. As well as haters of humanity.
And hating people is bad. Hate sucks, right?
So I have a question.
Why aren’t groups that hate humanity (and who openly admit that they want to bring about an end to civilization) being included by the vaunted SPLC among the innumerable “hate groups”?
What’s the rule? Is it that some hate groups are perfectly OK?
It seems that hating people in the name of loving the planet is not considered hate but love.
While I’ve always had the same sort of naturally antisocial tendencies that many of us have, there is something ominous about this.
I would hate to see hatred of humanity become schmaltzy.
I mean, think about it. They’re taking simple misanthropy (long a perfectly normal and wholesome thing) and contaminating it with love!
Excuse me while I throw up, but hating in the name of love makes me sick.

Hatred of humanity is already schmaltzy. It’s expected. To be correct you have to declare your entire species to be wrong.
If I think about it too much I’ll pull out all my hair and I don’t think I’d look good bald
It seems there is some small measure of goodness there. They do intensely hate the people who hate them. i.e. a recursive situation. Now if only their stacks would overflow. Quickly.
The problem as I see it is that they let their hatred diffuse to the general population. They don’t hate themselves enough.
I don’t hate humanity, I just hate people.
Wasn’t the classic quote something like:
“I love humanity; it’s people I can’t stand.”
(perhaps G. Marx?)
I love rich people; it’s wealth I can’t stand.
I love drug users; it’s drug use I can’t stand.
I love Communists; it’s Communism I can’t stand.
I love Nazis; it’s Nazism I can’t stand.
I love environmentalists; it’s environmentalism I can’t stand.
I love Muslims; it’s Islam I can’t stand.
I love reporters; it’s journalism I can’t stand.
I love Jews; it’s Judaism I can’t stand.
I love Christians; it’s Christianity I can’t stand.
I love atheists; it’s atheism I can’t stand.
I love abortionists; it’s abortion I can’t stand.
I love Democrats; it’s the Democratic Party I can’t stand.
I love Republicans; it’s the Republican Party I can’t stand.
I love our opponents; it’s opposition I can’t stand.
Did I leave anybody out?
Thousands.
But you got the pattern right.
