Anyone have any advice on just kind of hating people in general less? I look at people, I know they’re huge on religious doctrines and societal models I have no place in, and I just can’t see any good in them worth considering. I try to go outside and connect with people, but everyone looks like a 4channer, or someone two slights away from becoming a 4channer. I can’t restrain the fear or loathing. It’s like the past twenty years have reduced my very capacity for compassion and my capacity to respect anyone period to molten slag.
Heteronormative society and all who uphold it fucking blow, but I’m expected to keep it in my pants re: how and when I take it out on them.
I don’t know if it’ll help, but often I have to remind myself that when people are put in a very real, present, and visible disaster scenario… people tend to help one another. They can be propagandized against helping one another (see: covid), but their initial reaction is to help. People are not innately bad, they must be taught to be that way. This helps me, even when things seem bleak.
