      but "to those accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression" that doesn't mean it *is* oppression, but it does mean that they *feel* like something is being taken from them

      Yes, thank you. this is not about *justification*, this is about *impulse*. this is about the motivating fire, the origin of the desire to persecute in the first place.

      *shrug* Hatred is one of the core animating impulses of all human beings, a movement or organization that doesn't tap into it at all is one that's only half-alive Hate, as they say, is the other side of the coin we call love If you don't hate anyone you don't really love either

      Alexander Cockburn famously had as his litmus test question for interns he hired at Counterpunch, "Is your hate pure?" He told a story about asking this question to Ed Miliband and Miliband sputtering "I don't -- I've never hated anyone!"

      And said that in that moment it was obvious to him that New Labour would fail in all its goals, and obvious exactly how it would fail

      Yeah, honestly, I consider that all edgelord posturing to lionize people's giving in to their worst impulses because it makes them feel good.

      This is the exact same thing as the Green Lantern theory of politics; that which makes me feel good, which soothes my fury in the face of an unjust world and gives me a sense of moral purity and power, is automatically efficacious and good, not that which actually gets results.

      My compromise on this is that I try very hard not to hate people, and instead, focus that rage on deeds/ideas/events/etc.

      You know the saying "Great minds discuss ideas, mediocre minds discuss events, little minds discuss people" I fucking hate it Ideas only matter because of the people who hold them, and people acting on ideas is the cause of all events

          Kidding aside though, you're right: the people matter the most. But I think hatred is a distraction from how to deal with people. It misfires too often.

          It's the kind of thing people say inside safe ivory towers Who think that slavery ended because of some kind of abstraction like "industrial capitalism outpacing agrarianism" and not the actual Civil War

          And who think of the Civil War itself as an abstraction -- an event -- as opposed to something that only mattered because a whole lot of specific people who supported slavery were shot to pieces and left as food for the worms

          Interesting saying, I’ve never heard it before. But it sounds like something an old white guy would say. Probably from Britain.
