I hope that day comes. I'd feel so relived.

i don't have anyone who I care enough about in my personal circles to hate them that much. apart from the people running our country and other dictators. i wish them exquisite pain.

I hope you can get to the point where you no longer give a crap about those people and find a way to live for yourself or someone you actually care about.

That said, spite living is still better than not living at all. I wish you a chance at a happier life.

Best revenge is a life well-lived.

Do not let them live rent-free in your head.

Apply for a job far away and never look back.

Spite is a hell of a drug. We all have a list of people we'd like to see gone. Yet, I hope one day you will be gifted or happen upon a better motivation than spite.

Well said.

A better end is to move on and live your own life, such that when they pass, you barely notice.

The best revenge is a life well lived or something

Maybe you should get pets. They keep me alive. How could you leave them when they love you so much?

[–] solrize@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

What about seeing them driven before you and hearing the lamentations of their women?

I feel like I have two reasons to live: infinite spite against the capitalists, and to work on technical stuff so we can technologically do a solarpunk anarchist society [1]. Currently having a "spite" day today, but at least lately I've been having a productive month.

[1] We technologically can and should do anarchism now. It's more the "solarpunk" part of that.
