Do you hate certain people?

[FlyersFan]

I asked you a legit on-topic question about how your hate is manifested in a double standard way, 

  It's NOT.   I don't have hate of people when it comes to politics.  Only ideology.

Still off topic.
Still trying to pick a fight.
Still making things personal.
Still no self reflection.

A broken toy.

ON TOPIC - So saint quintessentone ... do you have love and compassion and empathy for Donald Trump?  J.D. Vance?  Benjamin Netanyahu?   Or do you have intense passionate dislike (hate) for them?   Do you separate what they do from who they are?   Or are what they do part of what they are and there is no separating them?    Gunna' send them some of your loving emotions and thoughts?

Here is the question you posed to all of us:

"What about the politicians that you disagree with?   What about the people who follow the ideology of the politicians you disagree with.   Do you love them but hate what they do?   Or do you find yourself with 'intense passionate dislike" (hate) towards them?"

My answer was I have an analytical mind and look at politics and current events more as an interesting topic because no matter which party is in power it is the same shit different day.

You now say you don't hate the people when it comes to politics.

So you don't hate Zohran and calling him a Commie isn't considered hate speech to you? 

When others here call Trump a fascist do you take that as a move/telling behaviour in a hater's playbook?

-------

All those white rich and powerful men you mentioned aren't being abused or harmed in any way, quite the opposite. So why should anyone feel compassion or empathy for them?

The idea of relaying our "observational judgement" to specific people, and then "groups of like-minded" people... seems counter to discussing "hate."

It only celebrates it.  Cherishes the "hateful" or "malicious" glee...  Hooray... 

Are we talking about "hate" yet?

You have a point @FlyersFan... 

and we have learned - even about ourselves (generally speaking)
that we just can't talk about "hate" without examples...
which bring out what we find hateful... and so... we "hate" pridefully.

Trappity-trap.

1 - I don't call Zohran a 'Commie'.  I state that he's a Communist ... because he is one.  He stated that his ultimate goal is the seize control of production and distribution.   That's communism.   Saying so isn't hate.

2 - When people call Trump a fascist that's their opinion, but it's inaccurate.   Their opinion is either motivated by lack of understanding what a fascist is or it's motivated by hate.  Either way ... it's inaccurate ... so far.

So when you call Zohran a Communist and that is accurate in your mind when he follows a Socialist Democrat leaning because of one of his goals that you probably don't really understand nor bothered to learn about and that you don't think your position is motivated by hate? Is it hate or a lack of understanding or a desire to not try to understand?

When people call Trump a fascist that is inaccurate in your mind even though Trump usurps Constitutional laws to do that which the people did not elect him for, but in your mind those calling him a fascist are motivated by hate or a lack of understanding?

See the double standard yet?

So when you call Zohran a Communist and that is accurate in your mind ...

Not 'in my mind'.   
In reality.
He said he wants to seize control of production and distribution.
That's communism.
Doesn't matter what label he puts on himself to sell himself to the lemmings.
He's a communist ... by his own positions and ideology.

[FlyersFan]

 even though Trump usurps Constitutional laws 

No, he doesn't.
He pushes to the limit of the law.
No different than what Biden did.
No different than what others before them did.
That's not fascism.

You know what I hate? Politics.

I tried to read the last 7 pages, but it's almost only useless political discussions of "your side is bad, mine is good".

I'll see you on other threads, this one for my has died a hate filled death...
