I'm putting aside your piece, but I'm just thinking about the moment we're in. When I hear or see people who are honored and commemorated in such a way that they almost become a national religious figure, and then I see their content, and I see that their content is actively destructive to humanity, I have to draw a line there.
Humans have hated since the dawn of, well, humans, but these days it seems like we've elevated hate to a competitive sport. Whose hateful words, memes, and shouts gain the most views, shares, and comments? Whose amass the biggest following and build the strongest coalitions? Whose lead to election wins? But let's remember that sports rarely result in assassinations, murders, and war; hate too often does. We are regularly witnessing hate lead to actual violence. In turn, violence is leading to ever more hate.
