i loathe the ‘hate breeds hate’ ideology so much because like, that’s such an easy, lazy derailment from any kind of relevant discussion

“cis people have murdered and assaulted me/my friends” “hate breeds hate”

“white people have made me feel inferior all of my life while systematically killing my race” “hate breeds hate”

if this is your automatic response to marginalized groups pointing out oppressive structures, then you really, genuinely, and obviously do not care

because first of all, im not going to go in depth about its flaws, but the ‘hate breeds hate’ ideology is a falsehood, an extremely two dimensional view of response to oppression

hate does not breed hate, greed and malice breeds hate which spreads its infection from power holder to power holder to power holder, to the people and to the oppressed themselves. selfishness breeds hate, petty anger breeds hate, but hate does not breed hate, ESPECIALLY not hate as a response to oppression



people are allowed to hate their oppressors when they have created a system by which that person will have less opportunities to live happily, freely, and/or a long life, even preventing people in that group from living at all



claiming that hate breeds hate during and important conversation about oppression is nothing more and nothing less than a silencing tactic and honestly? ive had enough of it
