Is there any reason to hate other people who have not done something to you?

Is there any reason to hate other people who have not done something to you?
It seem barbaric and pointless to hate others based on facts about them that have no correlation to you like skin color or religion especially when they are so broad as demographics go you could never know who the person is or how they are like based on those facts alone.

You're right, hate for a broad group of people is foolish. People within certain demogrphics differ greatly, so blind refusal to accept them is rather immature. However, naively trusting everyone is just as bad. There are still many bad people in the world who wish you harm, and they will gladly take advantage of your generosity. It is best to have others prove themselves to you before fully embracing them.

Or, you know, since this thread is going to become /pol/ vs /leftypol/ again, ignore what I said and focus on cancerous identity politics instead.

fear is based upon danger, and hate is usually born of fear or revulsion (which is based on biological signals to avoid unhealthy situations)

A population of indifferent and non-dangerous individuals can still create a dangerous situation. As an example, an overpopulation of deer or any other peaceable species can result in higher risk of collisions, More spoiled crops, etc. which are objectively bad results that cannot be blamed on a single random member of the species in question. It is more than possible to hate a population for the results it as a group achieves, even if such a hatred isn't kind, moral, etc.

A dislike for the different is very natural. A revulsion of other races is possible due to biological factors. Imagine you live in a village where everyone you know is genetically similar, and one person is born who has clear asian, african, aboriginal features, or vise versa. If you KNEW the person to be born from the same genetic background you are, you would probably draw the conclusion that such a person was deformed. The aversion to illness is what makes things like red lips, unblemished skin, curves, etc. attractive. They signify health and a good chance of bearing healthy offspring which will be of use to the community.

Now members of obviously different races will all look very different every while equally healthy, but that is knowledge that comes from the learned mind, and not the instinct. You can put aside built-in prejudices if you have the desire, but you can also be tempted to rationalize these feelings by using statistics, facts you hear about populations, etc. to bolster the feeling you have that there's something "unhealthy" or "wrong" about people who look that way. confirmation bias will only give you more reason to doubt the obvious biological symmetry between races once you've begun to question it; taking something hundreds of miles away to bolster your distrust of people in the next block down. etc.

It's a collectivist mindset more than anything, to place individuals as monoliths. By that logic, all white people should be hated just because we happen to have the most mass shooters in the US, even though the number of people that have done it is very small.

However is it not unwise to use base anamalistic disgust to gaudge the content of one's character? Even in the case of deformaties or disease this Is no excuse to treat them lesser or even pity them in some cases as they may exceed their expected abilities. Our primal nature is often wrong so one should be wary when it calls on you.

>Stop hating other people!
>It seems barbaric.
Good laugh!

>Hate
I don't hate, I just clinically dislike.

Care to explain why?

Look up where the word barbarian came from...
