JMSmith has a few words about hate this morning:
I trust that everyone understands that a “hate group” is a group that all goodthinkers hate. It is an official bogyman, bugaboo, or Emanuel Goldstein, and all goodthinkers hate it because hating it make them good. Expressing their hatred serves goodthinkers as a shibboleth; experiencing this hatred serves goodthinkers as a mind-melding source of unity; acting out this hatred drains the hostility goodthinkers would otherwise feel for other goodthinkers. A “hate group” is simply a lot of rubbish invented by the Party, and that is why, like a comic-book super villain, a hate group never wins or disappears.
Talking about a hater, or group of haters, 99% of the time it's referring to an individual or group opposed to an idea the speaker is pushing. Nobody hates everything even your best friend or spouse won't like everything you like and vice versa.
ReplyDeleteWhen it seems a person or group is opposed to everything you favor most likely they just don't like you.
