Poverty. It's fucking shit. You live in constant fear, fear of not being able to eat, losing your home, and one breakage wiping you out for months or years. You live day to day or week to week, your life revolves around money and you might have to take shitty treatment from employers cos you don't have options. The poor really do pay more. There's a reason that it's called the poverty trap and not the poverty easily escapable zone.

Nature as idyllic harmony, in the Rousseauvian sense. In reality, nature is metal as fuck. (As Werner Herzog put it, the birds aren’t singing, they’re screaming in pain and terror.)

People's right to their opinions.

You're allowed to believe complete horseshit.

You're allowed to be an outright Nazi.

The fact the government won't kick your teeth in does not vindicate such unforgiveable ignorance. You can be an asshole for holding certain opinions. You are entitled to believe things, and to say things, which mark you as dangerous, untrustworthy, intolerable, or dumb as a bag of hammers.

Never let 'you can' serve as an excuse. Some people are just wrong. Some people are complete assholes. Some people are fucking Nazis. You don't have to respect one word that comes out of their mouths. All they've got is "it's not illegal for me to be this dense."

And hey, sometimes? Maybe it should be illegal. A lot of other countries do not in fact allow you to be an outright Nazi. We don't have to entertain any slippery-slope nonsense, to acknowledge some assholes want genocidal bigotry, and letting them spread that desire is a direct threat to millions of innocent people. If "I am going to kill you with this knife" isn't protected speech - "we are going to put you all in death camps" is not better.

When the response to "I would defend to the death your right to say that" is "I would make sure you die for doing so," reconsider.

Religion.

To consider antireligion instead of atheism
The harm of religion is historically evident whereas the presence or absence of gods is not. Ultimately, the continued existence of religion is predicated on the indoctrination of children and suppression of rational thought. Therefore I am against religion but not necessarily against the idea of gods. For all we know gods are computer scientists and we are in their video game. —https://www.arscyni.cc/file/antireligion.html

Being rich.

As long as there are people without a home or who live in a permanent state of anxiety, then being rich is unethical. Solving the problem of disproportionate hoarding—greed—should be humanity's current prime directive because it's the cause of nearly all our problems.

Wealth and the past

Vampires.

Werewolves are clearly superior.

• The wealthy
• Space
• Planetary colonization (e.g. Mars)

These are all bad for the same reason; they're all trying to kill you.

Promiscuity

Regime whores and owners of the regime
