    The 'humans are the real virus' rhetoric is disgusting, and just keep in mind that people's views on humanity generally reflect themselves.

        There are plenty of edgy misanthropic antinatalists of which you speak, but I think most of them are more on the reducing the suffering of living things side.

          I’m sure some of them do but overall many seem to be misanthropic. Even the ones who don’t I still am not a huge fan of due to disagreements

        Or it's just a normal response to global neoliberal capitalism. The whole notion of "cost of living" is pretty mind breaking.

          I've thought before that the only obstacle to me writing a novel is all the 12 hour work days. I am more than capable of writing 1000+ words a day when I'm off, but progress is painfully slow all the time because of how much work I have to do.

          I thought it would get better if I quit my job and found an easier one so I could write more. Now I'm so stressed out finding a new industrial job that my productivity is down. It was a mistake to quit my job, because now it will be back to the oilfield.
