This is but a given, but hate has nothing.

It is rather a given that this is the next thought of mine after deciding what truth entails. And truth is devoid of hate. It is not devoid of emotion, because you can hurt, you can love, you can be in awe and have a great deal of emotions. But hate, has nothing to do with the truth, at least not in any constructive way. You can despise something, sure, such as hateful bigots or the taste of a vegetable. But any of the negative emotions we express, such a despising someone, repugnance at a group of people, and their rejection comes not from any real truth, it comes from fear and ignorance (and some other elements we don’t have time to discuss right now). And those have nothing to do with the truth. Because nothing is in a vacuum, everything is in context. And when you do not know the context, and judge outside it, you are judging it through the lens of ignorance, which has nothing to do with the truth. That’s why nazis, fascists of any kind, bigots, racists, xenophobes, anti-lgbtq+ people have no truth to their agenda. They all take a sliver of a truth and twist it into something bigger and untruthful. It all stems from fear, fearmongering, hate, ignorance, a culture of violence. Their “truth” has nothing to do with the willingness to engage in rationality, in reality, in fact, but rather in hate, ignorance, “their freedom and truth”. Which has nothing to do with real truth. Because reality does not happen in a vacuum, and for their agenda to work, you need a vacuum to dehumanize, to keep people ignorant, to keep the fire of hate going. And if you are to take that element of hate from their philosophy or agenda, you will not find much constructive there.

Whether we are talking social policy, constructive plans to develop their societies without the call for violence or any real thought as to what the consequences can be within an ethnostate. And besides the obvious horrible implications of an ethnostate as seen in UAE for example, and the possibility of genocide, I am simply talking economically. As most modern economies rely on immigration to bring on new workforce to supplement the lower wage jobs, usually. In an ethnostate, you have no such possibility morally no matter how you twist it. The only choice is more unwarranted violence, so you further divide your own people into groups in order to create an oppressed group which you can underpay and overwork. Because bringing outside workers is going to be seen as dirtying the waters. Which again, comes from hate, which has nothing to do with truth. Even the yesteryear violent regimes that created the seven wonders of the world, created them through a culture of violence. And while yes, the pyramids are to be admired, we are taking the wrong lessons from history over and over again. Which is why you always see fascists on social media rock a sculpture and admire history without any actual interest in reading and understanding it beyond their narrow little hateful world view. Which is to say hate creates nothing that makes a better place on purpose. Ironically, you can look at everything hateful and think and do the exact opposite of what they are doing.  And even in the beauty they create, it is not a beauty born of pure passion and love, in most cases, but it is the beauty of tragedy which is brought by the suffering of those that have created the works in an environment of violence and hate. Thus the cliche of the tortured artist that we have today, where we repeat to ourselves the lie that nothing can be achieved without struggle, especially the beauty of art.

This is to say that hate has truly nothing. You can not have relationships with hate. You can not have friends with hate. You can not have most things with hate. You can not create a better world through hate. Because hate is not spite, where you can thrive in spite of the violent world we live in and create beauty in spite of hate and violence. Hate does not leave a better world for those to come, because hate is personal, it’s selfish, it doesn’t really care for community, unless it’s a community of hateful bigots committing and discussing hate and violence. And I know that spite works both way, my point was that spite isn’t a one way street unlike hate. Hate is destructive in nature. It has nothing to do with being constructive. Everything that is constructed is in spite of, not because of hate. You can not understand the world through hate, because hate has nothing to do with truth, fact, rationality and empathy. Once you remove hate from the equation there really is nothing left there for a lot of people. And once you realize this, that everything you have is due to the lack of hate, not because of it, you will see the world in a completely new and different way. Because this simple realization is enough to change your whole world perspective.
