I think we should rethink the emotion of hate.

Those who are often described as hatemongers are described in manners which show them as soulless entities with reprehensible, unjustifiable agendas who use grotesque and anti-human means to achieve their goals.

But aren’t these “hatemongers” human as well? Aren’t they possessive of drives and ambitions which may motivate any individual who finds him or herself in such similar straits?

In my opinion, those who write media for a cause or purpose, professional or casual, tend to dehumanize, to various degrees, their opponents, sometimes throwing their names into such pools of steaming, stinking, seething acid water as the “liberals”, “neocons”, “Jews”, “Gays”, “fascists”, “fanboys”, “shills”, “big government”, “big tobacco”, “big oil”, “big telecom”, “Rothschilds”, “Freemasons”, “Godbags” and other such appellations.

Instead, why can’t we simply practice a separation of concerns? By that, I mean:

• form from function
• content from layout
• people from personality
• motive from action
• emotion from judicial process

Maybe that will come in due time, but for now, the current reality is depressing.
