No one is better than anyone in our entire species history. In 5 billion years humans will be long extinct and there wont be anyone around then to give one fuck about you OR ME.
I do however think when making claims about the nature of reality, facts matter. No, I am not talking about government protection of human rights, I MOST CERTAINLY SUPPORT THAT.
But, the ability to utter a claim doesn't make it true by proxy of the ability to put a naked assertion in print or make sound waves.
Otherwise I could claim "Angelina Jolie is giving me a blowjob as you read this.". But somehow I think you rightfully reject that.
If I walked up to you in person tomorrow and claimed to you face to face, "The New England Patriots beat the Chicago Cubs in the Stanley Cup".... Would your response be "Oh that's cute"? Or like me "No and bullshit because the Patriots play football, the Cubs play baseball and the NHL championship called the Stanley Cup is unrelated to both baseball and NFL".
Instead of looking at bluntness in terms of hate of you the individual, maybe consider you got it wrong and the aim is at hate of bad logic?
