I've always found it easy to like misanthropes; they agree with most of the rest of the animal kingdom, no doubt.
...Adam Savage, speaking about the possibility of using AI to talk to animals, wondered what whales might say to us. Reckoned they'd probably call us genocide monkeys, then said that's a good band name for someone to take and run with

There's a more positive way to say that; P.J. O'Rourke, Jeremy Hardy, Benjamin Zephaniah and their like start from the point of loving other people. Because of this, it's hard to hate them whether you concur with their conclusions or not. It's much easier to dislike the cluster of narcissists, misanthropes and nihilists who dominate current politics and political commentary, even when you agree with them.
