The Burden of Altruism: A Manifesto of Misanthropic Duty For Collective Oneness And Stewardship

If you vote for either U.S. establishment party, without exception, I do think you're in a cult, indoctrinated, have Stockholm Syndrome, or some other type of mental condition or disorder, have a dark triad personality, are vile, have evil principles and beliefs, and are some variant of fascist. If you're some type of capitalist or mixed economist, or if you vote for some foreign establishment party, or some type of libertarian/anarcho ideology, my thoughts of you aren't much better. If you're not in the authoritarian left quadrant of the political compass, I don't have a high opinion of you, especially if you're religious or sectarian, which is just a fancy way of saying you support identity politics. I have no patience or tolerance for the right-wing, for egoists, for the stupid, or the irresponsible, lawless, and uncivilized. I'm not sorry that I believe in humanity, rules, civility, and order; I prioritize oneness and stewardship. I am who I am, and while I evolve, some parts of myself have been freed as I stopped walking on eggshells and abandoned the Democratic Party cult. I can admit I was fooled by that party and that by voting Democrat, I voted for evil every time. I voted against my best interests and against the best interests of humanity and the planet. I can admit this is what every U.S. establishment voter does and will continue to do, making them the opposite of my ally or friend. They are negligible in difference from the Republican Party because they are in a uniparty with the GOP. Hartz and civil rights leaders were correct about American liberals, but that now applies to all Democratic voters, and Zinoviev's critique about democratic socialists and social democrats holds true about those in the United States. When I think about why I am an activist-misanthrope and why others grow cold and misanthropic in my community, it is due to y'all preserving the material conditions infecting us. I'm tired of being told what I see is not what I see, that my principles and what I see are wrong, and that people are not accountable or responsible for their actions; that it's the system and material conditions responsible for every bad, disrespectful, irresponsible, uncivilized, or wrong thing people do, sounding like Christians blaming the devil for everything. The system is a problem, but so is society, which needs rehabilitation and re-education. It's all bullshit, and I almost feel like quitting on everyone and everything, but my sense of duty and responsibility won't let me. So, all I do is consume and produce resources while trudging until I cease to exist. Between betrayal and resentment, being humane is an eternal struggle every single fucking day.... Seems everyone now days falls into three groups, you're either Comtean Altruists, Stirnerites Egoists, or Spencerian Social Darwinists; and the altruistic have irreconcilable principle differences with both. No wonder communists, especially international communists, secular humanists, and ultra democratic centralists don't tend to fit in, we're too parental, too goody-goody.

This perspective is my life’s reflection of Marxist materialism, shaped by 45 years living in the U.S., where social-Darwinist systemic failures and individual egoism have made me both an altruistic activist and a misanthrope; an activist-misanthrope, inspired by the critical lens of Ian James Kidd. I'm sure many can relate to this.
