Why do people put so much time and effort into hating other people?

Question

It seems like such a waste of time to focus all your time and energy into hatred toward others who are not like you. I watched a show last night about neo-natzis, Thats all they do is go around hating people of diffrent races. Why? What is the purpose? I don't get it.

Adam- That's the same show I watched last night. About the fourteen year old girls singing about white pride. There mother home schools them and teaches them about how good Hitler was.

Answer 1

I was watching the news the other day, and there were two young girls who look so innocent..and they sung songs about how "Jews should all burn in the streets" to get people to come listen to them...it was so discusting!!

I think there's a fine line in morality and hating people not like you!

Unfortunatly you can't spend time hating neonazis, the best thing to do is try to spend time being the best damn person you can and help other people.

I used to be so bitter at people but I just figured it was making me unhappy!

Answer 2

YOU ARE SO RIGHT......AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS,

Maybe that is why you and i can not understand this, and it really does not make sense,
I guess, some people need "good guys" AND "bad guys" TO keep their head straight,,

and maybe the h ome they were raised in was combative, and fighting and predjudice, and they are just an extension of that,,,
A LOT OF MAYBE HUH?

All i know is i did not have a "fairy tale" childhood, and i felt unloved a lot of the time, and i did many things to get attention,
but i did not hate, or hurt othes, SO why some others might become hateful, or criminals, or abusers?

i CHOOSE to be kind, love humanity, i am saddened when i hear about crime, hate crimes, molesters, and things like that,
I WOULD ASK YOU DO YOU AGREE THAT ALL THE ENERGY THAT NEONATZIS, AND BIGGOTS, AND OTHER HATE GROUPS USE, could easily be used to do kind, loving uplifiting tasks, build instead of tear down, share intead of withold, listen instead of just running of the mouth.
understanding, rather than not wanting to learn, and so on

Maybe the people who hate so much draw off of lthat emotion as their only way "THEY KNOW" as just a way of life, and the way they see life, but the truth is they are creating this life,
I DO BELIEVE WE, CREATE OUR OWN GOOD GUYS AND BAD GUYS,

Answer 3

The answer seems simple enough- but the answers implications are millions of times more complex.

I believe, that its easier to blame someone else for their failures than to be held personally accountable for their actions.

The Jews, the mentally handicapped, some Masons, and some Christians were exterminated by the Nazi because they were used as social scapegoats as a way of focusing anger AWAY from the Nazis

Answer 4

Was that on ABC Pritime? I was angry at myself for missing the show (I was watching Miami Ink, great show btw) you asked a million dollars question, I wish we all knew so we can fix it so very subjective lol jk. Well there are many reasons and many have already answered on your post so i am not going to reapeat. But i do think its madness to spend your life hating at other people (race).

Answer 5

They know that they are rejects so they try to find someone lower than they are. It's like people who get satisfaction from kicking a dog. Chances are they have mental problems also.

Answer 6

This stems mainly from ignorance, narcissism, and an underdeveloped sense of empathy. Simple as that.

Answer 7

Easier to blame problems on people different than you! That way you can absolve yourself of all fault!

Answer 8

because they don't have a real life and don't have good friends or a family that care for them and some are losers and don't want any one else to be happy or have anything because they don't.

Answer 9

People who hate others also hate themselves. They usually don't realize it.

Answer 10

It diverts them from thinking about their own miserable little lives.
