Pseudo-intellectual trait: simultaneously being misanthropic and liberal

[shii410]

I see this shit all the time. people saying "humans are inherently evil and selfish", "I wish breeders would control their crotch goblins", "the world would be a better place without humanity", "I hate humans" etc. just very milquetoast, socially acceptable edginess masquerading as "deep philosophy". which is fine in of itself

but then as soon as you say "I hate women" or "I hate black people" they go utterly apeshit and instantly prove that their "misanthropic worldview" is derived from conformity to superficial respectability politics and there's nothing deeper to it than that

I don't see anything inconsistent about these two OP, there's different kinds of misanthropy.

"I hate breeders" can be considered acceptable because you're talking about a mindset/behavior and not simply the sex you were born with and can't control.

Yeah but I'm talking about in conjunction with the other above statements. If you legitimately hate humans and think they're evil shouldnt reproduce etc then someone saying they hate women or that women are inherently evil shouldnt bother you. Facts

I don't know how frequent such a contradiction is, do you have examples of the same person doing this?

Anyway I can legit think humans inherently have a lot of evil impulses in a slightly less exaggerated way and still condemn harsher exaggerations.

It's all about social acceptance to them, OP. Saying humans are bad is fine because it expresses your feelings about these creatures who did so much bad to the planet. But suggesting that maybe, just maybe some countries would be better off without Blacks is a sin because they're an oppressed racial minority; historically subjugated.

However, these people condemn racism as evil and don't deny that people can be racist in general. So when they say humans are bad and then attack racists, they aren't really contradicting themselves, imo. I can still see your point though. Every group of people ought to be criticized if we're going to establish that humans are bad.
