    “evil and violence is not the natural state of humanity. this is not what humanity is like.”

    [picks up history textbook]

    [reading] Oh no.
    [flips a few pages ahead] Oh no. Oh dear.
    Oh god oh golly oh jeez oh fuck [frantic flipping through book, trying to find the part of human history without lots of violence and evil]

    perhaps it’s some confirmation bias – it being easier to write, both contemporarily and in hindsight, about the year a war kicked off than the years of fuckall happening before it – but no I’m fairly confident at least half of all of us are proper assholes, possibly more than half, and always have been; personal learned experience has further reinforced this. Misanthropy is only really unhealthy for oneself when you don’t know who you should be directing that anger at.








  • when people tell you who they are, believe them

    for instance, while I may not believe you fart actual glitter all the time, I also have no doubt that the sort of person who sets “I_Fart_Glitter” as their username also has no qualms about shoving some craft herpes up their funhole just to prove me wrong

    now, taking what we’ve learned from this, what’s their username? what does it tell you? it’s quite possible they’re just unfathomably stupid, instead of or in addition to being a killjoy.
