Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

You can be a class conscious misanthrope, but you'll probably not run into this much due to the self-contradictory nature of it. Someone who dislikes humanity not due to feeling superior to it, but precisely because they are disappointed in the lack of action from said humanity, which inevitably then includes the person themselves.
I also am repulsive and nobody likes to hang around with me. I reel of failure and am the source of it all. I am so big of a failure I don't even have a country, because it collapsed before I was even born. But it's okay because I'm 0.000% done building the new one.
if you're the source of your failure you have time-travel powers.
No I don't have any special powers. A lot of people (not you!) like to give me superpowers, they like to make me seem super powerful, dangerous, in order to make others fear me and those like myself. That ends up hurting me a lot and then I'm supped to hate society.
That's how the powerful view me, they dehumanize me and those like me and in their eyes we are just agents of chaos. They think we live in a world where people hurt each other and enjoy it, but there over the border, in the civilized world people hurt each other and hate it.
Truth is I can feel the resentment deep down in there. The resentment towards those in power and those who were too indifferent to stop them. I can't go back in time and save myself. I can't go into the future where a world exists for those like myself. A world where I'm accepted and can live without fear. The only thing I can do is live right now and hope the people who come after myself don't need to look back and ask why did I abandon them. Anyways this post isn't directed at you or anyone really and I'm not helping anyone by making it either, besides the fact that it helps me keep going, which is pretty selfish of me.
