I don't think inviting a kid to forcefully defy/hate like that was the right thing to do. The invitation to tread on the face as a sign of defiance/hate or whatever it was, was probably a poor choice in the moment.

I think its wrapped up in the problems with dehumanisation of enemies, that tends to breed generational circles of violence.
