"Hating" is a strange thing. It's the trustless communication by an individual, or group of individuals, JUDGING another individual or group in a way that SPEAKS for the other individual or group. For example, if I was telling Alice a story about Bob, and I were to say something like "Bob doesn't know how he feels, he is sad most of the time and everyone here hates him for it" then I would be blaming Bob for not knowing how he feels, rationalizing my own thoughts about how he feels (sad) and then presenting "his" emotions as a shared truth for Alice and others that would listen. As long as I did that in a way that corroborates other's external observations of Bob nobody will know any different, other than Bob of course. Haters use simplified terms, leading questions, "thoughts of others" and visualization seeds to transmit their internal blaming views onto others. Those seeds are then propagated by those who don't know these recursive thoughts are dangerous to play with, as they lead to increasing blame, judgement and speaking for larger groups over time. I say "dangerous" here, but what I really mean is "increasingly inefficient" given everyone involved in the hate has to start rendering future realities that don't exist. ISIS, for example, does this quite well using Armageddon (a foregone conclusion) as their excuse to be involved in massive suffering. Gandhi observed that our thoughts become our words, our words become our actions, our actions become our character, our character becomes our destiny. Causality happens somewhere in there, even if we don't want to admit it. If we choose to judge and speak for others, the expectation is that others will continue to increasingly judge and speak for us. Or as Erlich put it best : "Richard, if you're not an asshole, it creates this kind of asshole vacuum, and that void is filled by other assholes, like Jared. I mean, you almost gave him shares. You need to completely change who you are, Richard. A complete Teutonic shift has to happen."
