I hate people too… I found myself liking miss girl bc he so often made observations about the general decline of society or illuminating how much he hates people and I would find quite relatable… and then seemingly out nowhere he’d say something racist or antisemitic or sexist and it’s like come on, guy. Regardless there are some lovely and quite incredible passages of cynicism and/or nihilism that I found quite apt and applicable to our world today… I def think I’ll reread this in the future to revisit those passages, wish I had made a note of them while reading
