A key underexamined assumption of the progressive "identity" left is that ideology does most of the work of hate---even among leaders.

For example, Hillary Clinton doesn't hate the people she hurts---ideology does the work of hate for her.

One strategy to combat this is to cut out the middle man. If it operates as hate to the marginalized, who cares how oppressors experience it

Another strategy, more amenable to liberals, is to attempt to change the culture. Install taboos, improve representation, etc.

And I will say that the attempt to change the culture is one area where radical change in continuity has happened.

And both approaches are systematic, and potentially complementary: calling hate hate is a means of consciousness raising among the folk.
