I Hate Western Philosophy (lemmygrad.ml)

I am learning the business side of western philosophy for a college class and I can already tell I hate Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, and basically every Greek philosopher.

Edit: To clarify things, I do not hate all of Western philosophy like Karl Marx just the more mainstream parts which are being taught in American academia.

This is a vent post and I was using hyperbole and being dramatic. I am sorry for the confusion.

he redeemed himself through mathematics, at least, with the Cartesian plane, which was very important to shape today's material conditions in positive ways. I think Kant is way more guilty than Descartes since he was 100% into idealism.
