Let's try this definition:
Group X is a hate organization if it explicity or implicity advocates, promotes, supports, or works toward the destruction of another group Y, with one or more of the following being true:
- the reasons for the destruction are based on criteria that Y was born with and cannot change,
- the reasons for the destruction are based on unproven, unprovable, or false claims, by X, targeting Y, that Y will destroy X. X may claim Y will destroy X through Y's very existence, through specific or vague planned action, or through attempts to rally, proselytize, or persuade. Claims may be but not limited to being scientific, economic or religious in nature.
- group X believes it is receiving a mandate to commit the same to Y, due to an unproven, unprovable, or false claim that it has received a mandate, or one or more risen ringleaders in X have issued such a mandate based on a similar unproven, unprovable, or false claim.
and often:
- Ringleaders of X may be leveraging/exploiting/extorting one, some, or all of the following aspects of group members: emotions, faith, economic status, state of happiness, or threshold of accepting something as true without personally witnessing. The purpose of the manipulation is to align members of X towards action. Propaganda-like techniques may be employed.
- smsm42 3y agoGroup that hates immigrants because they take our jobs fails your criteria. So does anti-muslim group that does not allege Muslims are about to destroy them via planned action. The police enforcing, say, marijuana prohibition, seeking to destroy marijuana use culture, fits several.
