I will tell you a secret - I am not really a person who hates much..Though I disapprove a lot.
One reason I get a bit alarmed is I worry that below a threshold of horribleness, I may end up seeing the humanity of or even becoming friendly with someone with really terrible ideas and then that’s just bad for everyone. So i get a little reflexively “hey hey..I don’t want any of that near me” ;-/.. Complicated people with hideous jobs scare me..heh..
Everything is finite beyond basic common sense decency, so the more thoughtfulness someone with terrible ideas gets, the less there is for someone way more worthy of compunction… life huh..
I am more scared of stupidity (as I see it) then outright malice, manipulation, cruelty, callousness, cunning, shallowness, calculation, meretriciousness or hatefulness. The dark triad and shallowness are I think largely unrelatable..
But who isn’t sometimes stupid, thoughtless, egotistic, lazy, angry, truculent, pompous or even more shamefully, selfish, self-absorbed, self-centred, vain, complacent, boorish, pushy, inconsiderate - the rolodex of human folly?
Otoh I have no friendly instincts about anyone with truly calculating or dishonest instincts nor people too shallow/stupid in the worst ways/encroaching to see unconscious calculation in their behaviors.
Prejudice and hate confuse me in the average middleclass type I usually see..since I can tell that in Tucker Carlson or Musk it falls into the dark triad category. I can’t tell with the normal person where it is ignorance and normal human folly to be expected in this fucked up environment versus the dark trash. Indeed, it is mostly only the cynical Green’s universal misanthropy & lack of identification with any human tribe except a vague left and more helpfully, a smattering of education, often that has helped me avoid prejudice.
Sorry..ruminating openly..must check that when not an explicit conflict strategy..I have no use for conniving…though it would be a glaring error/incomplete without adding that.
