Sure you can love others without first learning how to love your own self. This type of unfounded, unintuitive psychobabble bullshit really irritates me. — god must be atheist
So, I maintain my conviction. Love can exist without hate; hate can't exist without love. One is essential; the other isn't. — javra
except perhaps vote for Trump or Brexit! — iolo
Anyone who doesn't know what hate is is a moron. And anyone who says they haven't ever felt hatred is a liar. — S
I can't see any hate in this girl. She's just stating facts. — iolo
The link I put up shows otherwise. Dualism exists in our emotions, like it or not. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
Unless one equates hate to a mere dislike of something, but this denotation doesn't seem right to me. — javra
But this bias can be maintained in the absence of hate for other - and none of the babies or children exhibited signs of hatred in their choices. — javra

I don't understand why you framed your question like "what triggers hate?". It implies that you know what is hate.
— TheMadFool
I think I know what creates or triggers hate and do know what it is, but I did not want to divulge it from the get go. I wanted to see what you guys thought first.
that trigger your hate are rather obvious truths about reality. Don't you hate it when you can't find the keys
— TheMadFool
No. I do not hate such trivia. I just get annoyed and move on.
Psychology and sociology may be able to help us understand the origins of hate, what abets and perpetuates it. Presumably most explanations will invariably point the finger at human nature.
— TheMadFool
From what I think I know, science has already shown that hate is born from love and we are born with a human nature that defaults to love. Love seems to create and trigger hate as a response to anything that might jeopardize what we love.
Should you embrace it? Do you like truth that much?
— TheMadFool
I do as I prefer to be led by truth than lies.

Ditto as well as with like versus love. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
Trump is in a vile class all of his own and if the poor want help, they are voting the wrong way.
Brexit, FMPOV, is wanted for a different reason. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
The whole idea being to switch the role of emotions from controlling us to us controlling them. — TheMadFool
looming disaster. — iolo
Who cares about the nutters? It's our families the sane are worried about. Why should we let a drunken mob destroy their futures? — iolo
If you go Zen on it then some might even be able to use hate to accomplish the good. How could slaves have achieved emancipation if they hadn't hated oppression and if their oppressors hadn't hated treating their fellow human being like animals?
On the other hand we have things like hate crime that are senseless and have far-reaching effects on the collective. — TheMadFool
Yes, very good point. Indeed, how could slaves have achieved emancipation if they hadn't hated oppression? I think that that was glossed over by the kind of things that Swan was saying. — S
Hate is, it seems, either silly or foolish. — TheMadFool

Hate grows on inequality. There's an imbalance in the relationship between individuals or groups. Why should the stronger hate the weaker if it's the existence of the weaker that makes them stronger? Why should the weaker hate the stronger if the stronger exist only because they're weaker? — TheMadFool
If you walk in on your wife being raped, is it silly and foolish for you to hate the rapist?

You hate only because something bad's been done to you. — TheMadFool
By 'nutters' I mean the brainwashed persons who vote against their own interest to benefit a very few, very nasty capitalists. — iolo

Not if, like me, you try to live by the Golden Rule. I do accept that if done to me, I would likely have a higher degree of hate. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
We also hate wrongdoing or harm done to us. Or to someone we care about. Regardless of morality. I think hate is a general dislike, and as such, you can dislike acting against morality, but I see no special function of hate due to morality.Hate, as you might have already guessed, has something to do with morality. In a very loose sense what we hate are morally prohibited. — TheMadFool

As you can see hate can be caused by injustice. Injustice has moral implications. It's this I'm referring to. — TheMadFool
Thank you. Injustice is harm done to you also, no? So who is to say it is the moral implication that heightens the response?
I am not denying your point, I am only saying that it is not necessarily true.
You'll hate someone who calls you a liar, but hate him even more if he kills your wife or kids. You get morally hurt in the first instance, but not morally hurt in the second, yet your hate will be stronger in the second instance. — god must be atheist
