World of Hate

Post Reply New Topic

Is it just me or does it feel like the world is becoming more and more hate filled

I mean it's not really getting me down or anything
I just wondered if other people feel this too

Hate, and hostility with people increasingly at odds with each other, due to culture war, which is far less geographical in nature. The others we're against might be our neighbours or colleagues or our own family. It's feels to be a stalemate of hostility at present. No backing down from either side from the most vocal voices. No clear solution, we don't know how long this will last, if we'll come out the other side in a worse off. So much uncertainty. Global capitalism wealth inequality and now AI being the latest threat (much like industrialization was to the Luddites).

Here's how I'd account for it:

Psychology study “People high in psychopathy and low in cognitive ability are the most politically active online, study finds”:
https://www.psypost.org/people-high-in- ... udy-finds/

Interesting. I felt a slight tinge of defensiveness about that. I read some of the paper but my cognitive ability... meant I didn't finish it. Wonder who it was funded by. I perused that website and found an article about intellectual humility:

I guess we can blame everything on social media. People are ironically behaving very antisocial on it.

And then there's a certain US president that has "Made America Hate Again", whom I really wish would die soon. And by soon, I mean NOW. Although they'll probably find someone else just as bad or even worse.

And it's gotten me really down. But then again virtually everything that's happened since 9/11 has gotten me down. There's this movie where a man and a woman are put into hibernation and wake up 500 years later to learn that humans (in the US at least, anyway) have gotten very stupid and make people of average intelligence in this day and age look like geniuses. For example, the most popular TV show is of people just getting hit in the crotch, and the most successful movie just shows a naked human butt that farts. It sounds like a comedy, but it's a WARNING. Also I don't think it will take nearly that long before humans get to that point. If the world is even around by then.

The internet makes things worse I think, but there always has been hate. Black slavery was a form of hate, and extremism.

So for several years now, the media acting hand in hand with certain( under control of) political groups it seems, Has been striving to create devisiveness in the US population,.Cannot put a finger on the exact players but , am pretty sure it a group that has enough power to have direct influence of local governments and and entire media . with the intention of creating circumstances that will provide them most benefit financially and most control over many populations most specifically the USA . Since long before George Flloyd , and the woke movement. Then intent was to divide and seperate by creating hate . Tore down the historical Southern Maga monuments, Just after everyone was taking a knee for Woke and George Floyd
And of course it was the Arab terrorist that did 9/11. and for no good reason ,Our country destroyed Iraq .So How many middle Eastern people in the country felt safe? After that .Rump doing what he is doing almost daily deport brown people . Etc. Maybe its just alittle curious?? that each one of these things were blasted into our phones/ Laptop/ TVs
all in short order ..Hate and fear , is what they want? Meanwhile civil rights are eroded, ( patriot act) based on iraq?
or what,that caused building 3 ( trade crnter)9/11 was not hit by anything but was demolished from inside out .
We now are on the edge of a Dictatorship, doing everything a dictator does to come to power ? On Yes am sorry got of topic , Wasnt this thread about hate , maybe more like hate and control.( Think I rather go out and count flowers)

I don't have hate in my heart and I don't understand why love is so hard for people to grasp. It got worse in 2016 here in the USA.

I only hate people if they've made my life a misery because of being a**holes. I don't hate people because of their sex, colour, sexuality, etc.

Hate is widely considered a complex, often prolonged, emotion that stems from negative experiences and moral judgments, though it can also manifest as a learned behaviour or a blend of other emotions like anger, contempt, and disgust. While common emotions like anger and fear are innate, hate is shaped by social conditioning and a cognitive appraisal of a person or group as fundamentally evil, often with a motivation to harm or eliminate the target.

In addition to socially conditioned emotions, hate also stems from personality and social norms stemming from traits linked to competitiveness and aggression. A society/culture that promotes competitiveness exacerbates these traits.

I can like people who I get to know as individuals, but for humanity as a whole I despise our species. Humans beings feed on hatred and live for making other humans as miserable as possible. Also no other species has contributed as much to the ruin of our only habitable planet.

I think if humans were to all vanish tomorrow like the Dinosaurs this world become a slightly better place.

If you think about it, Hate takes alotta of Energy .
