Bigoted and hateful. I see people in this thread vilifying mental disorders, but Nazis are way more dangerous.
Yeah but aren't those kinda synonymous? Maybe it's just me, but I can't see bigotry existing without hatred of some kind.
Hateless bigotry is stuff like casual racism, microaggressions, implicit bias.
I concede that those actions may be committed without hatred by the perpetrator but I still believe the practices themselves are rooted in hatred.
This is true, but we're talking about personality traits, and these can be committed without a hateful personality
You find a whole lot of cluster b folks on the right
I have bigots on both sides of my parent's family and they're some hateful shitstains on the human race. Lucky me I got one side of upper middle class pretending they're rich prosperity gospel christians and on the other side poor white trash born again evangelical christians.
Life has been so much better after cutting them all off.
Cutting toxic people out will change your life and theirs for the better. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially cluster b people. There's little hope for them without professional help because they're reluctant to admit fault. Ain't nobody got time for that shit. Surround yourself with cool people and fuck the abusive fucks.
