The "Lose Your Faith in Humanity" Thread (Now With Inspring Words by Pony!)

Hexmage-PAHexmage-PA Registered User regular
edited August 2008 in Social Entropy++
It's come to my attention that there are people out there who have hope for their fellow man. Statements such as "Most people are basically good" continue to shock and horrify me. To combat this tide of ignorance, I propose that we compile a body of evidence that proves once and for all that we are all bastards.

I'll start the ball rolling:

National Vanguard was formed by dissidents from the organization National Alliance in 2005 and was disbanded in 2007. As only one of the many white nationalist groups that have existed, you wouldn't think National Vanguard would be that special. However, the organization was able to make some pretty dick moves in the two years it existed.

For one, the group's platform included placing white people on the endangered species list. Two, in 2005 National Alliance supported a pair of singers from California whose music included such inspiring lyrics as "Aryan man awake/How much more will you take/Turn that fear to hate/Aryan man awake."

Remember what else happened in 2005? This short-lived group of racist assholes was operating during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In a stunning example of heinous bigotry, the group began charity work exclusively for the families of white Hurricane Katrina victims. Yes, that's right: their charity work came with a "No Coloreds" sign.

    Tomorrow I return to work.

    I work for a credit company.

    Tomorrow I get to listen to people cry into the phone about how I (meaning, the company, not me personally) am ruining their lives and destroying them and they are going to go bankrupt and I am ruining the future of their children.

    I am so excited!

    Look I am just excited to go back to work, okay. I've been sittin' on my ass since June and I need to work.

    The fact that I am likely to get screamed at by people furious about their interest rates or crying women calling me soul-less because I won't cut them a break on their minimum payment doesn't bother me.

    A man can just feel nice about making a real income again.

    the OP is bullshit
    most people are decent most of the time

    as Stephen J. Gould once said (paraphrasing here), it's just an unfortunate reality that one person can do much more harm than good if they are so inclined
    so even though most people are decent, the horrid acts of some understandably garner much more attention

    however it also doesn't help when some of you crybabies blow shit out of proportion and complain about how everyone is so stupid and evil because some dude cut you off in traffic or didn't hold the elevator for you

    some of you really lack perspective

    Here's another: Answers in Genesis, the guys behind the Creation Museum. You see, members of this group sometimes take home-schooled kids on field trips to actual museums, sit them in front of the exhibits, and tell these kids how the professionals are all wrong about evolution and dinosaurs and the Grand Canyon.

    Even worse, they teach the kids to not only ignore scientific evidence, but actually teach them to say "How do you know? Were you there?" when someone who actually knows what he is talking about tries to set them straight. If they are asked how they know, they are told to say "God was there, and He wrote the Bible."

    I can't find the Youtube video now, but a news story on one of these field trips interviewed a young girl who said "God made us, we didn't evolve from a meteor!"

    Oh, and speaking of the Creation Museum, not only is it not in financial trouble, but it exceeded its expectations for first-year visitor attendance in only 5 months.

    take 100 random people and talk to them individually, 99 of them will be very normal, reasonably intelligent, interesting people and one will have a few issues.

    Talk to the group as a whole, however...

    it's been my experience that most pessimists just need a good lay

    lot of em tend to be bitter sexless losers who got shit on by life and just gave up

    pessimism is pretty lame
