Creating a blog about misanthropy seems a bit ironic – considering blogs are viewed by people whom we as misanthropes are supposed to hate. The reason I use the word “supposedly” is because that is not always the case. However make no mistake, just because I don’t hate humanity doesn’t mean that I am indifferent towards it. I have an immense dislike for humanity, and I think free choice is totally wasted on us. What is the use of free choice if we don’t have the common sense to make intelligent decisions and choices?
Moving back to the topic, the reason we created this blog is not for recognition or approval, but rather to get a greater perspective on our viewpoints. Only a fool would dislike somebody for no reason whatsoever, and with this blog we wish to impart our reasons for disliking people. We would also like to compare our viewpoints to those of other misanthropes, and also to other non-misanthropes. I may not like you, but that does not mean I cannot learn from you – nor you from me.

‘a general dislike, distrust or hatred of the human species…’ a line from an article on wikipedia. I lost my faith in humanity while working and living among people who abused my good nature. I decided not to give them the benefit of the doubt because humanity is inherently evil and stupid and will eventually make the same mistake again and again without showing remorse. The world is full of examples of repetitive, destructive human behaviour.
My goals for this blog is similar to my co-author, getting input from other misanthropes and those we distrust. I don’t think my trust will ever be restored , too much water under the bridge and all that, but at least I can try and understand the otherside of the coin. Whether you like me is irrelevant, because I already don’t like you.
