Hate

Hate masks personal insecurities. Not all insecure people are haters, but all haters are insecure people.

Hate masks personal insecurities. Not all insecure people are haters, but all haters are insecure people. Hate elevates the hater above the hated. Haters cannot stop hating without exposing their personal insecurities. Haters can only stop hating when they face their insecurities.

Haters rarely hate alone. They feel compelled, almost driven, to entreat others to hate as they do. Peer validation bolsters a sense of self-worth and, at the same time, prevents introspection, which reveals personal insecurities. Individuals who are otherwise ineffective become empowered when they join groups, which also provide anonymity and diminished accountability.

Note sure where this came from, I believe it was a psychology journal - it was in a note from August 2020 during the Left’s peak ironic vitriolic hate of all things conservative and Trump, and of anyone who had a difference of opinion. Actually, still true.
