[Human No More]

I don't like humans that are inhuman, which is a majority of society. I believe there's still hope for us, but it's a faint glimmer.

I did have hope, but things like this make me lose that... Even if some people realise and they change, it only takes a few to ruin all the progress made

I would rather be a Na'vi than a human for sure, but that doesn't mean that I've completely shoved humanity out the airlock. I acknowledge the fact that we humans need to change. But some don't. They're content to sit on their arses and rake in the profits at the expense of the planet they're sitting on. Those are the people that need to be changed, or failing that, stopped, at any cost because they are killing the rest of us.

That is WHY I feel like giving up on humanity sometimes... Because it needs everyone to make any real difference. Some people will never care

Yes, I admit I am a misanthrope. I want more than anything to be one of the Na'vi. To be surrounded by people that think the way I do, to be on Pandora, to thrive off the land.

Definitely... but for me, it has to be Pandora... I couldn't pretend everything was OK on Earth while all around me, everyone else was still carrying on the same as ever
I am definitely a misanthrope, not against humans in general, but certainly against the vast majority of them. The people who profit from destruction of the world, from war, from overpopulation. The companies who throw people's lives away for more money. The people who have no respect for other people's lives or freedom. I hate them and I never want to be like that, that is why I hate being even associated with them at all.

After a lot of study and thought, I've come to realize that the root of the problem is not the masses of society, it is the elite. It is the few extremely rich, and extremely powerful rat bastards that run the world, and their apologists in the mainstream media. The masses have been purposely made ignorant, so that they will act as resistanceless pawns, to the advance of the elite on their own lives and the well being of the planet. We've been taught not to question, to simply believe everything we see, even if it is the noose that will be eventually be used to hang us all. Any glimmer of hope that people might have is usally quickly extinguished in a flurry of propaganda.

Sadly, it's true...

If everyone realised what was going on and decided they want change, it WOULD happen... but everyone just sits there, thinking they should but scared nobody else does, and nothing ever happens. Very few people are truly happy and satisfied with the way the world is, and they are, almost without exception, the ones who benefit form other people's misfortune and the destruction of our world for profit.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. In a society with a triangular hierarchy, never think that authority has your best interests in mind. Up until the Enlightenment, authority ruled the world with a fascist, corporatist, theocratic, totalitarian system, and they desperately want it back again. They want a world of cheap, ignorant labor that they can exploit to the death for the sake of their own well being, and they want to be able to strip and demolish and drill the world to oblivion for the same reason. They want a system of Neo-fuedalism, in a world where they can drill what they want, blast what they want, pump out what they want, and dump what they want, and if anybody has the audacity to speak out, they'll either 1) "disappear" or 2) get publicly executed. 1984 is a masturbatory aid to some of these sons of bitches.

So yeah, I have gone from hating people in general, to pitying them, while at the same time wishing a slow, painful death on the rich, powerful sons of bitches that truly deserve that kind of fate. They deserve to be lined up, and shot, one-by-one, and I dream of being the one to pull the trigger. Other than being a Na'vi, being able to take part in a global revolution is one of the dreams I long for the most. In the words of Mike Malloy, when the lights go out, there's a few out there that I want personally.

You and me both... When things change, I know I will be there. When everyone realises what's been going on for generations and how nothing ever improves.

So yes, I am a misanthrope, and I'd love to leave this all behind and be Na'vi... but if I can't, I want to change things here. The problem is just getting people to. A small group of people will just look crazy, and everyone will think 'they've got a point, but they'll never do anything'... If all those people joined in, there would be no limits
