It's quite eccentric to suggest the left is misanthropic when the right majors in racism, violence, short-sighted selfishness, and contempt for the weak, poor, and unusual - none of which are particularly humanitarian.

Making your own planet less ecologically stable is certainly an interesting choice, but probably not the best long-term bet for anyone's kids.

This particular misanthropy does not seem to have a particularly strong affinity for either conservative or progressive groups; it is an opportunistic predator that attacks the weak and stupid in both camps, and has for generations.

Be wary of anyone who argues the poor should go without food or protection from the elements, regardless of what flimsy justification they give for their cruelty; the most dangerous to each of us are those who appeal to our own beliefs.

Sure if they're actually saying the poor should go without and that's not a dumb strawman. The idea of consuming too much isn't usually focused on the poor.

Only idiots think their kid, the teachers, ecological scientists, and the culture are all wrong and only you what’s right.

Especially when you’re maddened about incoherencies that are merely the manifestation of the inherent entropy of our world!
