Do you hate certain people?

[ANNEE]

Emotions are internal not external. You make yourself feel. 

Negative energy is held within your own body. 

Hate only affects the hater and can cause physical distress to self. 

(exception: deliberate criminal action to cause harm)

So, what are the actions of said person that causes you to have a negative reaction?

How can you change or avoid those actions?

[FlyersFan]

In these times, I think personal responsibility for one's feelings/actions and the pursuit of knowledge/questioning/skepticism should be enough to counteract those types of manipulations.

Reality says no.  
Example - Islam ... convert or die ... says no.
Extremism breeds hate which has as it's mantra no personal responsibility.

Beware. You become what you hate.

[ANNEE]

There are an estimated 4.5 million Muslims in the United States. 

They’re all bad and just want to kill you. s/

Extremists come in all forms and beliefs. Key word — extremists.

Not true at all.
It may hurt the person hating, but it manifests outward.

Example ... Islam/Convert or die ... the slaughter of nonmuslims by the hundreds of thousands in Africa by muslims.
Example ... antifa ... burning down Tesla dealerships.
Example ... antijew hate ... the Holocaust and even now celebrating it.
Example ... Charlie Kirk ... protesting idiots make gunshot signals to the throat celebrating his death
Example ... a burning cross on the lawn of a black family, or a noose put in their tree.
Example ... the burning of Gov. Josh Shapiros house with them inside.
Example ... the hate mail Sen Fetterman is getting wishing him dead because he refuses to call Republicans fascist.
Example ... denying a person a job based on their religion or race.
Example ... the Pulse nightclub shooting.
Example ... the Charleston church massacre.


I could go on for days with examples of hate manifesting.

That's man again imposing self-serving repression/oppression on their people and/or demonizing others' cultures. But believing in only extremism within other oppressed cultures and not the peoples' true nature or desires is being non-questioning/non-skeptical/not thinking or investigating for oneself.

That's why I said I hope for future generations which are becoming more digitally and socially global and not believing the programming of hating those that are not like you - but most people around the world are just like us and want the same things that we want for themselves and their children.

And that's hate.
(unless the culture deserves to be exposed for being bad ... like throwing gays off buildings in Gaza)
And it has no personal responsibility.

In group, out group bias theory.

Two separate factors: love (in group - patriotism) and aggression (out group - e.g. nationalism causing hate of other nations/cultures).

Hate = fear within ourselves (people hate asylum seekers - fear losing their jobs - externalizing fear).

Hate = challenges with their own identities (requirement of hate to continue to be a member of the in group).

It wasnt us burning down Tesla dealerships, that shit was a pretty major insurance job.

The world is not Sal's Famous Pizzeria. Most of us do the right thing.

The question ... can you help how you feel.  It's natural instinct. 
How to work against it?

I think we can work against it not by going against what we initially feel but by reducing how much we feel about it.

For example, in the case of that idiot that thinks that all gypsies should be killed (or thinks that's what the woman was expecting him to say), he is just an idiot with no real power over what other people do or not, except by using his vote in the elections, but even if he votes on the far right party and the party wins the elections, they will not have the power to change the laws to allow for the killing of people (Portugal was even one of the first countries ending the death penalty), as that would need a change in the Constitution, which requires a 2/3 majority in the parliament.

And in some cases, SHOULD you work against it.

I think we should, in the way I mention above, as I think extreme feelings are not good for us.

Is it safer to hate someone who is evil?

At least it's easier.
Although that depends on the definition of "evil".

Or do you have to practice heroic love and love them anyways?
And how do you make  yourself feel love for someone you hate?
Gotta' bring God into it to do that.

I don't think you need to love them, just show them why they are wrong.

But I'm an optimist.
PS: we should not need any god(s) to act right.
