Are there any /lit/ that tackle this theme? I want to feel better, I want to be hopeful.

Do namefags ever disappear and come back years later? Or do they vanish into the void? I have run into Mr Shouting Mexican an embarrassing number of times in the past few months. At least I think he's Mexican, I can't remember for sure.

Northrop Frye in Anatomy of Criticism talks quite a bit about this and says that the main idea of classical comedy is the person / people who don't fit into the community getting reintegrated into it. It's basically social (as opposed to tragedy which is basically personal). The final scene is always everyone on stage happy at a wedding or whatever.

If he's right, there ought to be no end of stuff that will do what you want. I'm not convinced he IS right though haha.

The blindingly obvious "misanthrope gives up being one and cheers up" story is A Christmas Carol I suppose.

Silas Marner is not a bad example.

The Secret Garden does it (but it's a child protagonist and a child's book).

The Remains Of The Day sort of does it.


I don't know that "reading about people who stop being misanthropic" is necessarily the cure for misanthropy though. A better cure is probably just to get out more. People are mostly OK when you have anything to do with them. Not many are truly nasty.

>People are mostly OK when you have anything to do with them
I would agree with this, highly applicable to the online misan-whatever you see posted here regularly.
Something that I have recognized in my own thinking is that it's quite easy to get into imaginary arguments when anticipating some conversations but very rarely do these conversations when they happen actually result in an argument or even any hard feelings.
Indeed, applied to a broader category, whether that is men, women, or people, (at least in my experience) people are overwhelming perfectly fine even when you feeling insecure or persecuted in some way.

When I first started coming here in 2015 there was an all-caps namefag here, not sure if it's the same guy or someone else who did the same gimmick. I don't understand why they don't get banned since it's clearly a form of signaturefagging

Misanthropy is caused by labor alienation and atomization and domination. The instinctive reaction to lash out at the one responsible. For some people, that is themselves, they fantasize about killing themselves (not about being dead). For some it is blacks, for some it is women, for some they blame humanity as a whole. Antinatalists say blame reproduction. But the truth is, the responsible party is the one making money off it

Most psychological problems are absolutely due to capitalism. People are not getting more and more of them just because of a random outbreaks of malfunctioning brains. Bur psychologists can't blame capitalism even though it is obvious

I see similiar sentiments posted regularly, but I often ask myself "What what this situation be like under feudalism?" and I find that the exact economic model is not as big of an issue as people would like to believe with regards to many problems.

if the means of production are owned by a capitalist, the state divorce court can reach in and force transfer payments to the birthing skank who can now be a high end escort for ruling class men. whereas if the means of production are owned by the community, the state divorce court cant reach in and force transfer payments, because the man owns nothing and is happy

The vast majority of classic lit desperately tries to teach you that the only thing worth anything is forming connections with other people. Pick up any book that isn't explicitly marketed as pessimistic or "literally me" and there's a pretty good shot it's life affirming.

not a recommendation but i have to say this post made me giggle a bit. i got into reading recently and it actually made me more okay with being misanthropic. maybe i shouldn't have started with jd salinger's works.

I don't like your attitude but you may be onto something.
You can try this yourself. When you make a post with a tripcode, the font of the tripcode itself IS different. But it appears to revert after a page refresh. I assume it would be the same if somebody else using a tripcode showed up. It's been so long since I've seen a tripcode user in regularity that I haven't noticed it myself.
