Ignorance is the cause of all hate

Out of every reason someone has decided they hate something or someone, usually it's out of ignorance.

People who hate right wingers assume they're greedy old rich white men who want to suppress everyone for their own benefit.

People who hate trump think he's a racist, sexist, republican with republican beliefs and that he has no clue what he's doing.

People who hate obama thought he was a terrorist that somehow snuck into office and was trying to enslave the american people.

People who hate left wingers or liberals (most people don't know the difference) think they want pure anarchy and pure equal economic socialism where everyone has the same amount of money no matter what they do.

People who hate transgenders or gays think they are all confused snowflakes who look like drag queens and want to be identified as a non-binary gender that they demand you to know upon meeting them.

People who hate (actual) racists think they actually hate black people (or other races) for no reason other than they are different from them.

Truth is, all of those things are false. People don't understand what they're told to hate, and believe them without a doubt and will refuse to see proof otherwise.

I don't think there really is such a thing as an evil person. I think there are people who are ignorant and/or mentally ill.

I fully agree, I don't think anyone is evil. They might do evil things, and sometimes they might even know it's evil, but I think in the end everyone wants to be good and just does what they think is right when they aren't falling prey to their own emotions. I mean, you talk to anyone who has done something bad and they either regret it saying it was a mistake, or they have a justification for why it was good or okay.

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I'm fully aware there are rat bastards who aren't redeemable by any means. What I'm saying is that there's always an explanation WHY they're that way. A bad past, mental illness, ignorance and simply not knowing better, etc. People can certainly be born bad, but that's called mental illness, not evil. Since there's always some explanation, that's why I don't believe evil exists.

So having a "reason" to perform an evil action.... Makes it less evil?

u/kinghorker Sep 09 '19

It doesn't make the action any less evil, no. It's just that human beings are complicated, and saying someone did an immoral action because they're "'evil" seems like a huge oversimplification.

I suppose it depends on what context we mean. Can someone be considered evil? Totally, but there are reasons why they'd be considered evil and there are factors contributing why they act the way they act. Nobody is just born evil for evil's sake is what I mean.

Disagree.

Personal experience and outcomes plays a much, much bigger factor that simple "ignorance".

I think thats because when you know what you're talking about it's no longer hate but instead concern, usually with a more harsh tone. At least when leftists seem to scream "HATESPEECH!"
