Things that make you "loose faith in humanity".

'Faith in humanity' is a silly concept.Blood-Scribe

I hate the phrase as well. But judging by how the phrase is used, I guess what it really means is "faith in the progression of humanity" or something similar. And so asking about what makes you lose your faith in humanity is really just the same as asking about what makes you think humanity is failing to progress, which doesn't seem as silly (at least in my view). And by "progress," I'm referring to a progression to a peaceful world because I think that's the subtext here.

I think a big reason why it irks me is because of how people to tend gauge their level of faith in humanity on the basis of small things that are unrepresentative of humanity as a whole and are usually limited to the scope of a specific culture or group. Kinda like when someone posts a news article about the WBC picketing a funeral or whatever the hell (just look at some of the stuff posted in this thread), and then people sperg on about how this is somehow enough to convince them that humanity is doomed. It strikes me as an odd metric of assessing our progress as a whole.

So I guess in some sense I'm a little biased on the subject because of how the phrase has been abused.

People who complain about the evils of society (violence, prejudice, corruption, and etc) but can't even be remotely polite, nice, or friendly towards other human beings they interact with on a daily basis.

The amount of effort people put in making money compared to the effort made in spending this money, makes for a beautiful equation of human failure.

Misspelling "lose".

And the majority of OT's bland viewpoints. 

-"reality" TV
-people's obsession with social media
-cell phone zombies
-people who use the terms YOLO or swag (I want to vomit every time I hear/see/read the latter...)



But these things that annoy me are all trivial compared to things like genocide, rape, murder, torture etc but I think that goes without saying...just saying. >_>
