We are
exploring hate through a philosophical theoretical thought experiment that
includes a stage of 1. Default in Justice (corruption) 2. Dehumanization
(removal of value) and now 3.) Reconciliation (social position/order). The
example is meant to build a model of protected hate and help us find solutions.
It is for learning purposes and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Stage One: Default in justice occurs where corruption exists.
Stage Two: Dehumanization occurs where people do not have rights or do not have recourse.
Stage Three: Social order creation where it is known that different people have different rights.
In the example we are using minority victims of different race, religion, or political values who were targeted, reported crimes, retaliated for that reporting of crimes and ultimately were accurate. Choices made were based in extreme prejudice and there was a failure to reverse those poor outcomes. It is well known some are above the law and some are not. Order is create out of chaos. It is what it is and victims can accept their new understanding of how people see their place. It enhances their commitment to making a better world where others have failed.
I came across this journal article The Brain Mechanisms of Hate. Hate is deep and it should be avoided. It is harmful to society and we should discourage it when possible.
Today is Martin Luther King Day. He was a trailblazer in freedom, and we choose to support or not support that freedom every day in little acts of kindness. I advocate for a single indivisible people who hold together a single future vision. That means first seeing each other as equal and endowed with certain rights from our creator.

*This is a hypothetical philosophical thought experiment to understand the logic of hate and potential solutions. Because this is a thougth expriment for learning purposes take with a grain of salt.
