The me you see now is bitter and disillusioned after 3+ decades of slowly degrading wide eyed optimism.

It was a death by a thousand sneers and slogans, protests and coups and misplaced ideals.

So I pretty much hate everyone now but this wasn't always the case, and in the course of my life the degree of bitterness I feel towards nearly every living human has barely been around 5 years. I'm also not sure this is the most misanthropic I will become and people like you test that limit with such blithe abandon.

If I had to make a list that reflects my current spectrum of severe dislike:

  1. Fascists. Fuck fascists with every fiber of my being and hypothetical non-physical extension of my consciousness in whatever ether it originates in.
    B) Vegans. Fuck vegans, seriously. III) Nearly every other human that has ever existed.

The people I do not harbor some degree of hate could fill a small college auditorium and I can guarantee there is no one on this site that is in that group at the moment.

I engaged in sincere and respectful conversation with every vegan I could find at my university, and whenever I began to ask sincere questions, they ALWAYS responded with derogatory labels and for YEARS I did not and just figured I hadn't found the right vegan to ask and kept trying.

When you go to a stone lined well and get poisoned water for 30 years maybe it's time to not go to any more stone lined wells, understand?
