Misanthropic pessimism, or simply enough courage to face reality?

Like anything, it depends on your assessment criteria. Me, I happen to think wanton cruelty and pointless destruction on an industrial scale isn’t so easily dismissed.

And if you click on my name you can see I’m an anarcho-socialist, not a libertarian. Crucial difference - respect for collective needs and endeavours.

But yeah, it certainly does seem apparent my words are falling on deaf ears…
