Some people don’t get that they hate people who like Trump. They have a set of signs they put in their yards: “Hate Has No Home Here”. They pretend they don’t hate but everyone hates something or someone and remember: hate for evil is a good hate to cultivate.
There’ve been several laws proposed allegedly against hate but the definition has been narrowed to hate people who have specific hatreds. E.G., House Bill 6346 defines a “hate crime” to mean an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity. What about hatred for evil? Why not hate the kind of evil for example that went on in Germany in WWII and the USSR?
Did you analyse the “bias against a race”? That condemns anyone who marries anyone of any race at all because a bias can be positive, like love or negative like hate and when someone has a negative bias against a race they have a simultaneous bias in favor of some other race. Does a positive hate cancel a negative hate?
How about a hatred of injustice? How about the loud moron who makes inane comments.
Hate is a simple value judgment that we all use. Hate has survival value too. We should all hate the terrorists.
An article in The Harvard Crimson is “the Importance Of Hating People”.
