I’ve known people who become spiteful/hate-filled over time because they like to have a punching bag, someone underneath them if they have sorry lives. Some of them just plain ol like to hate people. This is not nuanced. Some people are just terrible, awful human beings. We don’t have to cross examine their upbringing to understand this.
One of my best friends growing up around berkeley had hippy parents, he is now a racist trumper. Parents had nothing to do with it. And his half sibling is part african american. You can’t reason with shit people, and theres no point in trying to. He loudly claims that white people need their own country. He can go fuck himself without nuance.
Not by genetics no, but taught by parents and the circle they’re brought up in who are also hateful, and hateful news they’re told is the only news to watch.
Some people are terrible regardless absolutely, but the sheer amount of it were seeing right now is being generated by bad actors.
hate is not passed on like genetics.

i agree. i also think the bad actors that can turn someone hateful are more easily passing their hate through social media/youtube etc
I hope the pendulum swings back and we get a decade where people make peace. i’m not hedging my bet on it though.
