    “don’t hate” seems like an extremely radical message. I hate lots of things, and I think it is right to hate those things.

    I hate it when Nazis gain power. I hate it when children are molested. I hate injustice. Don’t you?

      And how productive has that hate been for you? Has your hate fixed anything?

      I was molested as a teen. If you walked up to me and asked me “do you hate that guy” I’d be very confused. I’d say that’s very meaningless question.

      You think he cares if I hate him or not? I don’t waste my time hating bad people. It doesn’t solve the problem. Use your energy more wisely.

      Something I say a lot “I never solved a problem by being pissed off.”

      Just my opinion on tho. You do you.

        I agree that there are many unproductive forms of hate. I’m not advocating for you to hate the person that hurt you.

        But hate has been productive for me. With our world in decline, it is so easy to get depressed and nihilistic, sometimes I have no hope. Hate is a strong motivator to do something positive for the world.

          I can’t argue with that. I find anger and hatred exhausting.

          Everybody is different though. If it motivates you I have no business judging.
