1) I have heard it said - and I think I agree - that the opposite of love is not hate but rather indifference. Hate gets expressed when someone perceives a threat to what they love. Both hate and love require passion. Indifference entails a complete lack of love.
2) I completely agree that the term "hate" has become commonly misused, somewhat cynically by many, as a way to exclude a contrary opinion from conversation. If you can slander opposing opinion as motivated by hate, you get to avoid considering any merits the opposing opinion may have.
I think the reason those signs are so triggering is because of their hypocrisy. They pretend to care about justice, but turn a blind eye to faaar more serious injustice - real injustice. In fact they actually support it, if you scratch even a bit under their surface. Being rejected hurts *emotionally*, sure, but it's nothing compared to real physical enslavement and assault and threats of murder.
You'll never see a "don't tread on me" sign beside those -ism signs.
If you scratch a bit deeper, you'll realize they're only using the pretense of justice to push for more Big Brother - all of their "solutions" "coincidentally" call for that. It's a trojan horse, and they know it, as evidenced by their evasions when confronted.
I think you're unfairly hating on hate :). Hatred is our emotional response to injustice - it is a valid healthy emotion, just as valid and useful as love (our emotional response to virtue) that we ought to respect and listen to.
My parents and grandparents survived the Nazi occupation of Europe before coming to North America. The one thing which they impressed upon me (as did Jewish survivors of the Holocaust) was never forget and never forgive your oppressors until THEY make amends. To forgive someone, they MUST acknowledge their sins and be prepared to face the consequences. I already knew that humanity was mostly a plague upon the Earth and that the majority of history humans have lived under oppression and enslavement-that is where we are going now thanks to sick fucks like Klaus Schwab/WEF and all the other captured international organizations which have been plotting since the robber-baron era of the 1800's to "Reduce" the human population and control, enslave and own humanity. Our own Justin Castreau, son of Fidel, lover of "China's basic dictatorship", is another such sick fuck. All people being in or belonging to the WEF/Club of Rome/Committee of 300/WB/IMF etc, etc, need to be purged from this Earth, not the masses; even though I can't stand the Sheeple myself. The Predators ARE evil, but the Sheeple do and allow evil, just like during the Nazi era in Germany-they did and said nothing and attacked the decent folks standing up for democracy and freedom-including THEIRS, ironically.
The ONLY people whom I respect and admire are those who are neither predators nor sheep, but the virtuous lovers and defenders of freedom.
Ove the last 3 1/2 years I witnessed doctors, nurses and health department people kill millions by denying life-saving medications to those who caught the engineered Covid bioweapon, kill millions more with dangerous Remdesivir and ventillators, and then mass murder millions more with the "safe and effective" MRNA bioweapons.
I watched the Rwanda massacre and the world which shrugged. I see the 100,000,000 victims of communism in the 20th century continuing this century.
Like the Israelites, I do not forget nor forgive the sheep and predators-they can ALL be expunged from this Earth-and good riddance.
A couple of thoughts on this:
1) I have heard it said - and I think I agree - that the opposite of love is not hate but rather indifference. Hate gets expressed when someone perceives a threat to what they love. Both hate and love require passion. Indifference entails a complete lack of love.
2) I completely agree that the term "hate" has become commonly misused, somewhat cynically by many, as a way to exclude a contrary opinion from conversation. If you can slander opposing opinion as motivated by hate, you get to avoid considering any merits the opposing opinion may have.
This post reminds me for the seven billionth time why I love you. <3
