    I’ve never been a huge fan of this joke, because way too often it is being used by bigots to justify their bigotry.

    “My racials slurs aren’t racist, because I hate everybody”.

      exactly. I’ve always disliked this. but also the older i get the more i find this antisocial attitude immature as fuck. hating people isn’t a virtue, and most likely, being a person who brags about hating everyone unprompted, you’re not the best person in most rooms to justify this in the first place.

      So like, I used to be a skeleton wearing a skin costume and I worked fucking hard for this muffin top. It’s made me very happy/jokey when I’m out in public. When I’m yelling at clouds or shaking my fist at something it’s almost always as a joke (including that one time I wrote a whole damn manifesto yelling at the clouds) so like the only folk I try to hate are birds and they aren’t real.

      Edit forgot about damn horses

        “I hate everyone” and “Everything I ever say is a joke” are the two exact types of guy who need to be flogged publicly in the town square.
