  1. "King Thrushbeard." Another charming fairy tale in which a patriarch lies to, manipulates, and gaslights a young woman to get what he wants. 1958. #sexism #misogyny #misanthrope #womensrights #equalrights #equality ##gaslighting #patriarchy #patriarch #burnthepatriarchy

  2. A quotation from Chamfort

    People sometimes say about a man who lives alone: “He doesn’t like society.” That’s often like saying that a man doesn’t like to take walks because he doesn’t willingly walk in the forest of Bondy at night.
     
    [On dit quelquefois d’un homme qui vit seul : il n’aime pas la Société. C’est souvent comme si on disait d’un homme qu’il n’aime pas la promenade, sous le prétexte qu’il ne se promène pas volontiers le soir dans la forêt de Bondy.]

    Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
    Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 4, ¶ 275 (1795) [tr. Siniscalchi (1994)]

  3. I think I'm getting a cold. Could be covid. Hope it's a cold. This is what happens when you go near people. Not recommended.

  4. Ach... Hm... Eigentlich will ich gar nicht mehr dazu sagen.

    Sag es mit Musik. Viel Krasseres wurde noch nicht geboren. Und die volle Dröhnung kommt eigentlich erst ab 04:50.

    Und nein, mir kann keiner erzählen, dass irgendwas wieder irgendwie toll wird.

  5. #Misanthrope level 1

    I would like to open up personally myself today, just say what I think, especially what I think about my fellow human beings.

    Maybe a lot of people will think, "Dude, what's wrong with you?". But I don't care about that. I'm not alone in this, because I've met others who think the same way. But we are often very quiet.

    I hate it when I walk through the pedestrian zone and see people who, like animals of instinct, give capitalism every nourishment.

    1/3

  6. #Definition time! Compare and contrast --

    weak misanthropic principle: I hate people, because they annoy me.

    strong misanthropic principle: I hate people, because they exist solely to annoy me.

  7. Consiglio l'interessante #thriller #Misanthrope. Davvero un #film diretto molto bene dal regista di origine argentina, che non conoscevo, tale #DamiánSzifron, che affronta le vite al limite della polizia americana vittime di un sistema ormai corrotto, alle prese con un #serialkiller inafferrabile e misterioso. Un noir cupo con degli attori che fanno egregiamente la loro parte tra cui spiccano i due protagonisti #ShaileneWoodley ma soprattutto il bravo #BenMendelsohn

  8. Watching “Lucky Hank.” Not on purpose but it just came on and there was a deathly creative writing workshop and a wonderful speech. And now I have to spend the rest of the evening giggling at the skewering of #academia #LuckyHank #Misanthrope

    Democracy is #pro-=human, #proearth.

    A corrupt and/or #hypocritical #democracy is worthless.

  14. Over my morning tea, I was reflecting on my favorite #breakup (yes, I rank them - fight me) and how her parting shot was “you’re an ambivalent #mephistopheles
    I still take ownership of that with pride. With apologies to #ChristopherMarlowe and #Goethe
