A large amount of my outlook revolves around the notion that once you can forgive ANY human for existing, the justifications for holding much of anything against(or mistreating) any but a select (relatively)few just melt away and indulging in the notion that I myself am exceptionally horrible (self-loathing) is just vanity.
I honestly don't get how someone can come to the conclusion that ending humanity is absolutely desirable and not just skip to the step of ending themselves. That's surrendering the high ground at step one, and just because I believe they deserve to draw breath more than they do doesn't mean I won't block anyone who openly subscribes to such ideals in a heartbeat.
We got here by being horrible. I'll believe any other intelligent(or otherwise) life got so far without similar skeletons in their closets when I see it. Not them or anyone else claiming it, but like, a god's-eye-view of their entire history. Pretending we can't get over it is just an excuse for further horrors.
