Books about Misanthropy?

>> No.13675420

>>13675412
There hasn't been a truly good one in my view. Most of the get lost in nihilistic ramblings, which indirectly undermines misanthropy. Real misanthropy needs moral realism.

The problem with books about misanthropy is that they are written by people.

Because to me there is "something" over and above mere naturalist explanations that makes human beings reprehensible. "Something" that is inherent in the functioning of their minds that makes them aligned with a kind of Demiurge. In this sense, seeking to annihilate mankind as a whole is the greatest of good. The issue is though, as a nihilist, one cannot definitively call mankind "bad"; it merely becomes preferential since one dismisses all possibility of intentionality in the overall cosmos. In other words, a true misanthrope is like a Gnostic variant of Ulrich Horstmann, which is exactly what I am. The truth is, I am not exactly a human. Convicted antinatalists go beyond humanity in many respects to something more divine.
Mankind will ultimately destroy itself eventually, but I want to be on the mountain summit laughing while I see them devour on another. Perhaps, I will join in, crushing their skulls here and there, and lynching the hypocritical humanist scum. What a shame I was not a happy bird or whale! Oh well, one day I will show man my pain, a pain that transcends this world, our bloody faces meeting.

So you're a manichean. Even just a fundamental soteriological/millenarian Christian. Do you think this is unique, and nobody has written anything reflecting it? And you call it "moral realism" to lecture hall it up?

Manichaenism is technically not Christian. It is a mix of Gnosticism, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism. Yes, I have read the Cologne Mani Codex and many other texts from Mani. I am impressed you were able to discern I have heavy Manichaean influence. I think most of mankind has a very faint, almost negligible, amount of inner divine light relative to many other beings. A few men and women go beyond this though, and most of the time they are celibate or childless and vegetarian mystics. Being childless is a requisite to deeper understanding. Once you have a child, the darkness takes its hold of you entirely.

>>13675697
What does this have to do with the topic of misanthropy? I disagree wholeheartedly with man's "utopia" (which is just a carrot on a stick). More often than not when you want heaven on earth you'll have hell. Similarly, I believe the environment should be preserved from science's almost Faustian excesses.

>forcefully give vaccines to people so we can die later from super-bugs
I disagree with en masse vaccination.

>lock up kids over underage puppy love
They should be taught the difference between right and wrong but not punished so harshly.

>enable bad behavior of primitive societies so they never evolve by feeding children over seas
I agree- we should not do this.

>cops to protect people but actually just locks people up to punish them not change them for being what they are despite a welfare state being cheaper
Yeah, the prison system is hell. It should focus on reforming people but instead takes in already broken people and breaks them even further. A shitshow

Yeah, the world is decaying. It's been decaying from the very beginning, so we should turn our attention to what comes after this world and preserve the world as much as we can for the sake of our children.

Because a lot of them aren't that, and your inability to see them as such is projection of your own moral failings. You aren't truly misanthropic, you're protecting your love for yourself by setting itself against humanity.

Misanthropy is a cope for self-hatred. If you love yourself you will love your fellow man. Take the Bloomerpill
