Hate often has its roots in fear, and since 9/11, americans have felt fear created by people who set out to make americans afraid.
Fear and hate shakes people's and societies values.
If you dont hang together, you'll hang separately.... In 2016, americans are hanging each other, which is why the world is shaky...because the usa is a lot like the happy wife/happy life saying to the world.
Aside: Trump has capitalized on harnessing patriotism to fight fear, but is using hate to fuel it... This will ultimately be his downfall, regardless of whether his fall happens in 6 months or eight years from now.
People simply need to believe in a better tomorrow and the rest of it will take care of itself.
Certainly one explanation, one that does have application on an individual to individual basis.
BUT
I don't 'hate' the cockroaches I poison, nor the rats/mice I kill. As a matter of fact I have no emotional connections to them one way or the other. My actions are based on well reasoned notions of my own well being. They carry diseases (philosophies) that I have no interest in contracting, ergo they die. I don't hate the Fly Agaric mushroom or the Oleander Bush, both are quite beautiful, but I know that to consume them means death.
Fear can quite often be a tool of self-preservation. However fear in the absence of reason is often irrational...............while the absence of fear is just as often stupid, if not fatal.
