The Hater of the Month for October is Dominic Suares, who was unhappy with my post on misanthropy:

You know what? I came here to stop being a fucking misanthrope.

So you’re the guy who arrived here with the search string “how to stop being a misanthrope.” It caught my eye, to be sure, but it’s not as strange as some of the other ones that have lead people to In Mala Fide. From this past week alone:

karen decoster hot

my wife has slept with over 30 men

why do older men meow at women

why i love meghan mccain feministx

You guys are making a mockery of this.

Iconoclasty is mah middle name.

I don’t give a shit if someone is happy, and I laugh if someone died. I don’t care about the human race, and if anything, I feel scorn for it. I don’t care about sex, I find it superficial and pointless.

Damn. I didn’t know Slavoj Žižek was a fan of mine.

But on to the point. You guys bitch too much. Can’t you guys move the fuck on? I mean, you guys can’t even control your emotions. Bla bla bla he looks like a shithead for saying this and that.

Having emotions != not controlling your emotions, Aspergerboy.

Does that make you feel better? The fact you can succeed in a fucked up society?

Uhhhh, yeah.

Does it make you feel better that you are a parasite, feeding on other people’s helplessness?

I lost any loyalty I had to this society when it started conspiring to screw me over.

Being a misanthrope is a mistake. The logic is all flawed, and the feeling of being grandeur is misplaced.

Type 1 misanthrope? Yes. Type 2? Nuh-uh. I personally enjoy the fact that I can be disgusted with modern society and yet happier then a wino locked in a liquor store at the same time. The world is coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy my life.

I know none of you are going to change no matter how many people tell you.

I always love it when keyboard warriors end their blistering anonymous attacks on others with something to the effect of “it was a waste of my time writing this.” If you think it was a waste of time, why did you bother pounding it out, moron? Do you enjoy frittering away something you’ll never get back?

You aren’t different from everyone else, misanthropes. Sorry to break up your little fantasy.

We ARE different, largely because we aren’t terminally depressed, mean-minded headcases who push cripples down staircases and hate the world for not giving us what we haven’t earned.

Runner up for Hater of the Month is bob, who came all the way from MetaFilter to give me a piece of his mind:

Great, you’re some other misogynistic close-minded shithead. Good to know there’s not a shortage of you guys.

We…are legion.
