Seeing stuff like that, things you certainly aren’t exposed to on TV, f’rinstance, makes the fifteen bucks worthwhile, doesn’t it?
I would think your question isn’t quite accuate. You can hate gay people and get elected to public office in the process. You can also openly discriminate against them in most places
And fat people are discriminated and hated left and right. There still is plenty of hate left for people
My hate Cell phone users.
Yeep. I don’t think Solzhenitsyn is brought up often during “Must See TV!!!”
I was thinking that you can’t hate the class of evil people, but rather individual evil persons, identified when they demonstrate themselves to be evil; but then I realized that you can certainly hate the class of gay people, which then translates into hating any individual gay person that is identified to you. So, hatred of evil people is not functionally different from any other kind of hatred.
Having realized that anti-evil bigotry is possible, I see it as unlikely to be targeted for extermination. It probably won’t be the last prejudice, though; several other prejudices have been mentioned that are also going to stick with us forever. There will be no one last one.
The question of prejudice is complicated. Does the OP mean pre-judging what is evil and hating people who do that? Or does he mean pre-judging groups as being evil because of who they are? The first seems reasonable to me and the second does not.
I hate terrorists. Individually their behavior is hateful and evil, and I would destroy them if I could. I have pre-judged their deeds and have no problem hating the doers of those deeds. They are much more difficult to identify as a group, though, because many who look like them and speak the same language, and may even be in sympathy with their anger do not share their desire to kill innocents who disagree with them.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I am predisposed to hate evil as I perceive it, and hate individuals who do evil as I understand it, but I do not hate groups who may or may not be evil, even though they may look like the ones who are.
