Does it solve it? Or does it just shove it away until it pops up again?

Hate doesn't look for solutions, it just seeks to remove something detesteble. A revolution fueled by hate toppled a regime... just for something else, often much worse, to take its place.

Hate is great and continual, persistent determination of a singular goal... not for effective progress.

You attribute far too much to a simple, inefficient, emotion.

Compassion, empathy, desire to do good creates positive change. All hate does is perpetuate a cycle of fear and violence. It can seem like a positive in the short term, but it never lasts.

That's not discussion, that's just contradiction!

You're perfectly fine with the epithet "fatso" though?

I suppose it depends on how you define "normal". If "normal" is defined by not snoring, sure, you're right on that count. But it seems like a very subjective way to define correctness, and thus worthless.

That's internet discussion 101.

All lepidopterists are entomologists, but not all entomologists are lepidopterists.

It's also contingent on them realizing that if they call out all the abuses and corruption, when it comes time for them to be held to account, they won't see any more mercy than they show their "compatriots" across the aisle.

Less so, often, as the "team" they play for tends to forgive and forget much less.

Hate is like rolling coal, it gets the job done, but in the dirtiest most inefficient way possible. There's far better and healthier fuels to use.
