I understand, but I am not anti-humanity per-se like you implied you are, but I hate the current incarnation of what they have become.

If I think that people can be improved, then I am not really anti-humanity. So basically I agree with you.

You said before that you are a misanthrope. Misanthropy by it's definition is the hatred of literally all of humanity.

Misanthropy is the general hatred, dislike, distrust or contempt of the human species, human behavior or human nature. A misanthrope or misanthropist is someone who holds such views or feelings.

If you can believe the wikipedia in this case, it takes form at several levels. If one were to look around at current human behavior, there is a lot to dislike, distrust, and even hold in contempt.

Just semantics. With your definition, I wouldn't be a misanthrope. But I do hate most of humanity.
