Are you a misanthrope?

Unread postby bodigami » Thu 25 Dec 2008, 13:28:44

(from wikipedia) Misanthropy is a general dislike, distrust, or hatred of the human species or a disposition to dislike and/or distrust other people. The word comes from the Greek words μίσος (misos, "hatred") and άνθρωπος ( anthrōpos, "man, human being"). A misanthrope or misanthropist is a person who dislikes or distrusts humanity as a general rule.

"Other" I like some people and dislike others. I try not to bear ill will toward anyone but sometimes can't help it.

I'm extremely shy and tend to avoid people but I don't hate them. I'm just a hermit, not a misanthrope. :)

Negatory, big man, I disdain mendaxogenics, In other words I have mendaxophilia or mendaxophobia (fear of lying).

Confabulation is a psychiatric term for compulsive telling of stories.
Confabulogenics? Well, we have to turn off our confabulotron (TV) and throw the confabulogists in the trash heap along with their mendacity filled news print.

So I will start a new party, for those who are tired of Democrats and Republicans, and the other mendaxocin parties out there.

Medacitophobian.

Mankind is wonderful, the liars who use the simple minded are the evil ones.

Kleptomania is taken from the Greek, meaning a mania for stealing - if there were an equivalent word for compulsive lying it would logically be Pseftomania (Psefto=to lie). But this word does not actually seem to exist. It seems the technical term is either compulsive or pathological liar."

The sense I am trying to convey is that of a home where a child grows up being forced to not tell the truth, by the confabulotron for any number of reasons — fear of punishment, covering up for a parent, etc. In the pseftogenic world, the pressure to lie is more likely coming from authority figures, rather than internally or from peers.

It may not need to be a single word. An approximate antonym, one that I personally like, is truth-seeking or righteousness. This suggests a phrase something like truth-denying (abusing or shattering?) or maybe just slippery? Undermining is also close.

They call themselves illumin-naughty and they are truth-destroyers, pseftogenic money grubbers, traveling the world to hold and kiss the starving children, then leave them to starve while they go back to their fabulous temples of financial awe then give orders that cause secondary famines to gain profit, start wars for gain, and call for world peace at Christmas while their hired contractors t foment strife for political pressure.
Their real name is darkness, or mud. May the Christmas season keep record of what they really gave to others, all the heartache and destruction, and return to them double, even more so.

Happy new year.

Don't let the shoe hit you in the arse on the way out the door.
