Misanthropy. "Are humans fundamentally good or evil?"

[Zythus]

"Where does that leave us then?
It leaves us, I hope, uncomfortable and thoughtful."

And so, you would argue that humans are indeed the embodiment of something kind?
No, it would not be extreme to have a preference of humans as "humans should not exist"
The only reason why you believe it to be extreme is that you are human yourself, just as I am. However, I feel that it is entirely deceiving how humans are portrayed in a beautiful manner, as if , it amends the sins of our evil. Portraying the goodness of humans, by humans.

You talk about logically dealing with your thoughts, but how can one possibly think something like that would be a logical response to what's little more than a viewpoint?

See, this is what I find absurd about humans and their self denial (From my viewpoint). My preference is my viewpoint, correct. It does not make it false just because others do not agree or find it uncomprehending. It is indeed logical if you would even begin to think the essence of human nature rather than indulge yourself on the "good points" of humans. It is a fact that humans have the vile nature they are born with. But you are standing on shaky grounds if you merely point the finger at me saying, "Well, thats wrong because its extreme and all humans have some good in their life."

those kinds of ideas seem to be more evil than anything else I've heard out of people

And this judgment is from what perspective? The society's.

then I can only think you're projecting your own negative ideology and self-hatred to the species as a whole to rationalize your thoughts.

My ideology regardless of any perspective viewed from, has legitimacy. You hate mosquitoes because they are an eyesore and they bite, because mosquitoes are something else that you judge. You would think Misanthropy is radical because in this case, you are judging yourself. This is a simple display of ego, the fact that you think that seeing the horrid human nature as bad, is deemed unthinkable and evil.

Maybe I should reword my opinion. Rather than evil, I find it sad that humans exist, blighted by their egotistical nature to feel that they are something significant. While mortal by the ephemeral existence that humans have, like with all organisms, humans feel that they are superior to each other. Hence, you see the amplification of humans' destruction, through the multitude of malevolent things that humans ,consciously or subliminally, do. And it is exactly so why there are such things as wars, because one party wants to boost their ego and exercise their superiority over another.
