"Some men just want to watch the world burn" - Misanthropy and Other Vague Hatred

No i dont!

Im the enemy because i love my freedome

 
I’ve had the displeasure to meet a lot of guys and gals like this, more than I’d like to admit, and none of them of the joker-sociopath kind. They were all sad, hopeless and stuck in a shitty life (sometimes it was their fault, sometimes not). As someone said above, no hope and no outlet for your rage makes you very hateful.

Personally I try to avoid this kind of people for my well-being.
 
There is admittedly a deep-seated nihilistic satisfaction in fantasizing about destroying the work, hopes, dreams and potentially even lives of other people.

The difference is that well-adjusted people can find satisfaction in life, and Joker-wannabe nihilists find only satisfaction in chaos and nothingness.

Sometimes I wish I could be like this. I think it would be easier to be angry than depressed over the state of the world. But, at heart I'm still an optimist and I still want to believe that humans can evolve to be good over time. I'm probably wrong, but I want to believe. Maybe others choose to be angry (or at least indifferent) rather than depressed.

Take the solipsismpill. The world makes a lot more sense if you assume that earth is a gigantic torture chamber and almost everything that happens is designed specifically to cause as much anguish as possible to you specifically.

Ironically, I find that significantly easier to cope with than having to reconcile that actual human beings behave the way they do. I'd much rather believe that I'm being tortured by a cosmic entity, because at least I can make sense of that behavior. The things people do cannot be reconciled, and that's what bothers me the most.

I not only agree with this but last year really has disheartened me (as I shared on other threads).

Perhaps I am getting to fedora-wearing levels but I'm starting to ponder the concept of good triumphing over evil (featured in major religions like Christianity) was created so that people could believe that there is some form of justice. With so many horrible things to see or read about, this idea of good being victorious in the end seems like a coping mechanism so folks could get through their days without screaming too much.

The way I see it, there are people like that all around us. They just don't have the power to do it. They can honestly be born evil, or their made that way through events in their life. Nature and nurture can both be the origins of somebody's cruelty.
