Misanthropism is what makes genocide possible. Even if well meaning this sentiment is exactly shared with fascists who simply lean into the idea of humanity being flawed, violent, evil etc. as a justification for the horrors they enact; why hold yourself to a better standard if you don't believe it to be possible?

If you think this is the same idea fascists have, you've missed a few nuances. Fascists believe that humans suck, and people have to be humans. I believe that human is a sucky thing to identify as. The difference is that fascists criticise people for being born human, while I criticise people for choosing to be human. I said that humanity is a harmful social construct. If you think fascists are acknowledging that the conditions of our identities are culturally relative, you don't know much about fascism.
