Our society loves to hate hate. It allows people to get angry at angry people. We bully the bullies. We have ACLU leaders calling for the killing of Trump supporters. We have Trump calling for a ban on Muslim entries into this country. We have the liberal power broker, George Soros, paying for the violent protests at Trump events.
All of these are reactions to hate. Bullies hate the vulnerable. Trump supporters hate illegal immigrants and Muslims. Muslim terrorists hate America.
Hate has also taken on a new definition. Hate’s new definition is the absence of love. The Blue Lives Matter movement (a counter movement to the Black Lives Matter movement) thinks that if you aren’t with the cops you are against them. If you see some issues with the police, you must hate the police. There is no neutral position left, it is only love or hate. A sheriff recently said that Obama’s silence on murdered cops is as good as condoning the murders!
This is all insane.
Hating hate will get us nowhere, because what we think is hate is often anything but hate.
