"compassion for mankind"
Some folks love the idea of humanity (a fiction) and have no use for the organic reality of human individuals.
It's a neat trick: love everyone, hate each one.
Best of both worlds: 'I love you all, but I won't do diddly squat for any of you'.

Dalek Prime, by his own admission would rather not have been born. His preference for being led by the establishment rather than letting humanity have their say, speaks volumes about his nihilism.

Yes. Positive utilitarianism at its finest; 'sacrifice the individual for the betterment of humanity'. Not my cuppa.henry quirk wrote:Some folks love the idea of humanity (a fiction) and have no use for the organic reality of human individuals.

I feel awful now, my comment seems to have raised the general level of abuse.

Re:
You are an apathetic, self-centred piece of shit, and I'm honest too. Those 'handful of folks' you care about. I wondering if you would pffffttt! if it were them being raped and murdered in front of you. The tide will turn, and the rest of the world will go 'pfffttt!'henry quirk wrote:"So says our friendly resident warmonger"
Damned straight. I don't pretend to 'love humanity'. There's a handful of folks I care about...the rest: pffftt!
I ain't nice (no big thing cuz neither are you), but I'm honest (and consistent).

Re: On-line personality
See, you don't even know the difference between a nihilist and an antinatalist. And your assumption I prefer one form of media over the other is a fabrication, as I said clearly I don't like either, so you're not only cranky because of your physical frailties, but also a lying piece of shit.Hobbes' Choice wrote:I find some individuals disappointing.

Indeed. One expects such a person to deny the humanity of others in order that he can easily send in the tanks to crush their bodies without regret.vegetariantaxidermy wrote:So says our friendly resident warmonger.henry quirk wrote:Some folks love the idea of humanity (a fiction) and have no use for the organic reality of human individuals.

I know the difference. An antinatalist is a type of nihilist, definitively.Dalek Prime wrote:See, you don't even know the difference between a nihilist and an antinatalist. .Hobbes' Choice wrote:I find some individuals disappointing.

The only difference that matters here is that most nihilists are not complete hypocrites for being alive.

Now we see Quirk and Dalek as bed-fellows. What a tangled web we weave.
