Misanthrope

Hi, i am a Misanthrope and i feel often misunderstood in that philosophy. So I created this community for the constructive discourse about misanthropic feelings, understanding the misanthropic mindset, and spreading awareness that this isn't an excuse to hate.

I want this community to be a save place for people, who are curious about Misanthrope to learn and understand what it is, and hopefully spread some awareness against stereotypes. As I expect deconstructive comments sooner or later (beeing the misanthrope i am lol) i wanna put some stricter rules here:

RULES:

  1. Be respectful! Even if you dont understand someones perspective, even if you disagree heavily. There are no reasons to insult or be disrespectful. We are all humans behind these accounts (hopefuly) with feelings.

  3. No trolling! I know it can be

    First of all i think it depends on what you predict will happen. someone who predicts humanity will do good, and then gets dissapointed, has little to do with misanthropy. But if someone got dissapointed so often and frequently, that they predict a disspointing event takeing place (yet still be dissapointed when it happends) fits the definition way better. Because expecting dissapointment from humans is a form of disliking humans. its a negative approach.

    Yet i do see the contrary, for example in many writings by nitzsche, who certainly displayed great dissapointement in humanity, yet many say he wasn't a misanthrope. (and they argue it very well)

    I would dissagree tough, and state that someone thinking like Nitzsche, who is dissapointed in h
