Arabic Text:
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِى هَـٰذَا الْقُرْءَانِ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍۚ وَكَانَ الْإِنسَـٰنُ أَكْثَرَ شَىْءٍ جَدَلاً

Tafseer/Commentary (from Tafheem-ul-Quran):
- This is to warn the people that the Quran has left no stone unturned in making the truth plain. It has employed all kinds of arguments, parables, similitude and used all the possible effective ways to appeal to the heart and the mind of man, and adopted the best possible style. If, in spite of this, they do not accept the truth, it is obvious that they are waiting for God’s scourge like the one that visited the former communities to make them realize their error. 10
Question to human beings From ALLAH about their rejection of the Holy message?
Quran Verse: Surah Al-Kahf (18:55)
Arabic Text:
وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا إِذْ جَاءَهُمُ الْهُدَىٰ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَّا أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا
English Translation (from Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abul Ala Maududi):
What is it that prevented mankind from believing when the guidance came to them, and from asking forgiveness of their Lord, except that they would like to be treated as the nations of yore, or that they would like to see the scourge come upon them face to face? 7
Tafseer/Commentary (from Tafheem-ul-Quran):
This is to warn the foolish people that they should not be deluded by the respite that is given to them and presume that they will never be taken to task for their wrong attitude, even if they are not being taken to task for it in this world. They should, therefore, take a lesson from the history of the former people who adopted the same attitude and went on waiting for scourge to overtake them until it actually came and destroyed them. 7

Q: Who hates laws? Can you enumerate the personalities types hate any law?
A:
Of course. This is a fascinating question that touches on psychology, philosophy, and political science. It’s important to clarify that “hating laws” is not a formal diagnostic trait of any personality type. However, certain personality traits and ideological beliefs can make individuals deeply resentful of, or opposed to, laws and legal systems.
First, let’s define “hate” in this context. It can mean:
- Opposition to the Concept of Law: A philosophical belief that laws are an illegitimate form of control.
- Resentment of Authority: A psychological aversion to being told what to do by any external authority.
- Frustration with Specific Laws: Disagreeing with particular laws seen as unjust, inefficient, or oppressive.
With that in mind, here is an enumeration of personality types and ideological profiles that are most likely to “hate” laws.
I. Psychological & Personality-Based Dispositions
These are individuals whose inherent personality structure leads them to chafe against rules and restrictions.
1. The High Trait of Psychopathy (Antisocial Personality Tendencies)
- Why they “hate” laws: Laws are inconvenient obstacles to their immediate goals. They are driven by self-interest, impulsivity, and a lack of empathy or remorse. Laws that prevent them from exploiting, manipulating, or harming others are seen as pointless nuisances. They do not have an internal moral compass and see laws only as external threats of punishment to be circumvented.
- Core Motivation: Personal gain and gratification, without regard for others.
2. The High Trait of Narcissism
- Why they “hate” laws: They believe they are above the rules that govern ordinary people. Laws are for the “little people.” A narcissist may see compliance with laws as an affront to their special status and superiority. They may become enraged when held accountable by a legal system, viewing it as a personal insult.
- Core Motivation: Preservation of a grandiose self-image and entitlement.
3. The High Trait of Antagonism (Low Agreeableness)
- Why they “hate” laws: This is a broader personality trait characterized by skepticism, stubbornness, and a competitive nature. Highly antagonistic people are naturally distrustful of others’ intentions and resist compliance as a matter of principle. They see laws as attempts to control or subjugate them.
- Core Motivation: Autonomy and a deep-seated resistance to being influenced.
4. The Anti-Authoritarian / Rebellious Personality
- Why they “hate” laws: Their core identity is built on resisting external control. The very existence of a rule can trigger a desire to break it, not necessarily for gain, but to assert their independence. This is often a feature of adolescent development but can persist into adulthood.
- Core Motivation: To assert individual freedom and defy control.
II. Ideological & Philosophical Dispositions
These are individuals who oppose laws based on a conscious system of beliefs, not necessarily a personality disorder.
1. Anarchists
- Why they “hate” laws: This is the most fundamental opposition. Anarchists view the state and its legal system as an inherently oppressive and illegitimate monopoly on force. They don’t just hate specific laws; they hate the entire concept of codified, state-enforced law. They believe in voluntary association and non-hierarchical organization.
- Core Belief: All forms of government and compulsory law are undesirable and should be abolished.
2. Radical Libertarians & Anarcho-Capitalists
- Why they “hate” laws: They make a strong distinction between “legislation” (man-made, often arbitrary state rules) and “law” (natural, common, or contract-based law). They hate most government legislation, viewing it as a violation of individual rights, especially property rights. They believe social order can and should be maintained through private property, contracts, and free markets without a centralized government creating laws.
- Core Belief: The individual’s right to life, liberty, and property is absolute, and most government laws infringe upon it.
3. Certain Extremists & Revolutionaries
- Why they “hate” laws: They view the existing legal system as a tool of an oppressive group (e.g., the ruling class, a colonial power, a different religious group). They do not seek to reform laws but to overthrow the entire system that created them. The current laws are seen as illegitimate and must be destroyed to make way for a new order.
- Core Belief: The current socio-legal system is fundamentally corrupt and unjust, justifying its violent overthrow.
4. Philosophical Cynics & Nihilists
- Why they “hate” laws: A cynic may believe that laws are not based on justice but are merely a tool for the powerful to control the weak. A nihilist may believe that laws are meaningless because morality itself is subjective or non-existent. For both, there is no higher purpose or “justice” that laws serve, making them hypocritical or pointless.
- Core Belief: Laws lack any legitimate moral or ethical foundation.
Summary Table
Personality / Ideology Primary Reason for “Hating” Laws What They Propose Instead Psychopath Laws are obstacles to personal gratification. A state of nature where the strong prevail. Narcissist Laws are beneath them; they are exceptional. A system where they make the rules for others. Anti-Authoritarian Laws represent unwanted control. Maximum personal autonomy and freedom. Anarchist All state law is coercive and oppressive. Voluntary, non-hierarchical communities. Radical Libertarian Most laws violate individual rights. Natural law and private contracts. Revolutionary Laws are tools of an oppressive system. A new legal system after the revolution. Cynic/Nihilist Laws are hypocritical or meaningless. Varies, but often a rejection of all systems.
Important Nuance: Most people fall somewhere on a spectrum. Someone might have a rebellious streak but still follow most laws. A libertarian might follow traffic laws while advocating for the abolition of the FDA. True, comprehensive “hatred” of all law is rare and is typically found only in the most extreme ideological or psychological profiles.

Based on psychological frameworks, personality typing systems like Myers-Briggs (MBTI), and behavioral observations, several personality archetypes tend to exhibit strong aversion to laws, rules, and authority structures. This hatred often stems from a desire for autonomy, distrust of institutions, or ideological opposition, rather than mere noncompliance. Note that not everyone fitting these descriptions hates all laws absolutely—it’s more of a spectrum—but these types frequently express or act on such sentiments. I’ll enumerate key categories below, drawing from established personality models and studies.
1. Rebellious or Anti-Authoritarian Personalities
These individuals inherently resist any form of external control, viewing laws as oppressive tools of hierarchy. They often champion underdogs and thrive on challenging the status quo, sometimes to the point of anarchy. For instance, the “Relentless Rebel” archetype is described as exciting at first but ultimately disruptive, as they detest authority and prefer chaos over structured governance. 12 This type might include ideological anarchists who philosophically oppose all coercive laws, seeing them as violations of personal freedom.
2. Antisocial Personalities (e.g., Sociopaths)
People with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) often disregard laws entirely, viewing them as irrelevant to their self-interest. They lack empathy, break rules impulsively, and may hate laws because they interfere with exploiting others or pursuing thrills. This is one of the high-conflict personality types known for rule-breaking and manipulation, with a core belief that societal norms don’t apply to them. 16
3. Narcissistic Personalities
Narcissists tend to hate laws that limit their sense of entitlement or superiority. They see themselves as above the rules, often bending or ignoring them to maintain control or admiration. As a high-conflict type, they can become confrontational when authority challenges their ego, leading to outright disdain for legal systems that don’t serve their needs. 16 Domineering subtypes, like the “Domineering Dictator,” push boundaries aggressively and resent any hierarchical laws that curb their power. 11
4. Paranoid Personalities
Those with paranoid traits distrust laws as part of larger conspiracies or tools of oppression by “the system.” They may hate authority figures enforcing rules, interpreting them as personal threats. This high-conflict personality often leads to avoidance or active resistance against legal frameworks, fueled by suspicion rather than ideology. 16
5. Intuitive-Thinking MBTI Types (e.g., ENTP, INTP, ISTP)
In MBTI typology, certain types are prone to questioning or outright rejecting rules and authority. ENTPs, often called the most rebellious, debate every law’s rationale and hate unquestioned compliance, preferring innovation over tradition. 13 INTPs and ISTPs similarly criticize flawed systems, avoiding commitment to governments or hierarchies they see as illogical. 10 Overall, Intuitive, Thinking, Prospecting, and Turbulent traits correlate with high distrust of authority, especially among Analyst personalities like Logicians. 15
6. Borderline or Histrionic Personalities
These high-conflict types may hate laws due to emotional impulsivity or a need for attention. Borderlines can react explosively to perceived restrictions, while Histrionics bend rules dramatically to stay in the spotlight. Their aversion often manifests as inconsistent rule-breaking rather than ideological hatred, but it can escalate to despising any limiting authority. 16
These categories aren’t exhaustive, and overlap exists (e.g., a narcissistic anarchist). Factors like upbringing, culture, or ideology can amplify this trait. In extreme cases, such personalities might align with movements like extreme libertarianism or anti-government extremism, but most simply navigate life by skirting rules they deem unnecessary.
