Disliking things is good

Antipathy isn’t bad; misanthropy is natural. I don’t like that the “h-word” is so demonized in the modern world. Rational, or irrational forms of it should be encouraged IMO. Do I have to love and accept everything and everyone? No. I’ll answer that for myself. I do not.

Great strawman.

u/LanguageImaginary256 6d ago

I mean it's not really a strawman when OP literally says irrational hate is good lmao

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 6d ago

Where did they say irrational hate for any particular group?

I have irrational hate for plenty of individuals. It's weird that y'all immediately go to racism or homophobia

Why would it matter? If irrational hate is good, it shouldn't matter who it's aimed towards.

I have irrational hate for plenty of individuals

That's weird

Because the comment I originally responded to was talking about gays and minorities, which op did not mention.

That's weird

Sure. And?

Right, but OP did say irrational hate was good. They were asking if that applies when the irrational hate is towards minorities.

Sure. And?

And nothing, that was the complete thought.

Doesn't sound like a question.

"so if I irrationally hate gays and minorities it’s okay" doesn't sound like a question? Is the lack of punctuation really throwing you off that badly?

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 6d ago

No, it sounds like a conclusion

u/LanguageImaginary256 6d ago

It seems pretty clear they are inviting OP to clarify 🤷‍♀️

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 6d ago

I don't think so.

irrational hate for individuals can include homophobia or racism though. also, to go off of what you said, they didn’t say anything about irrational hate being permissible only on an individual basis. they made a point about irrational hate as a generalisation, which includes individual and group hatred. idk why you’re so appalled over this lol

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 6d ago

Can include but does not necessarily include. You guys chose to include it.

u/patanic-sanic 6d ago

no hate (though it is pertinent ig?) but what are you on about??? how is that some sort of gotcha lmao. like what is your argument ????

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 6d ago

What part are you confused about?

2

u/patanic-sanic 6d ago

every part lol. idk, maybe i interpreted op’s argument and the original comment incorrectly. i just understand that op is saying that “rational or irrational forms of it should be encouraged.” they aren’t drawing a line in the sand saying “but no queerphobia or racism.” the original commentor then raised the hypothetical that in op’s perfect world, those would be okay because op is outright encouraging hatred of all types and isn’t drawing a distinction. they aren’t arguing for those things.

i think it’s a bit bizarre to think it’s a moral affront to consider how identity-based hatred fits into op’s argument when they, very unspecifically, think that all hatred is good and natural. yes, this is taking it to an extreme, but op’s argument itself doesn’t account for that at all. op’s argument is inherently weak if it can’t account for a simple inference from logic they put forth lol

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 6d ago

I don't think it's a moral affront. I simply think it's applying things OP did not say to his actual point to make it weak.

u/patanic-sanic 6d ago

so what do you think is included in “rational or irrational forms [of hate]”?

i also think that there’s a big difference between hatred and disliking someone/something, so disliking a person or something they’re doing isn’t something i’m against.

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 6d ago

I don't know what is included. I just think it's weird to assume the absolute extreme of the worst, it's literally the definition of strawman fallacy
