Hate is part of the human condition. Every person has hated at least once in their lives. The trouble with the concept of hate is that the government has no clue what it is. They invent hate crimes and hate groups and declare that these things must not exist. Recently in Virginia violence erupted when a hate group clashed with another hate group. No, that is not what the government and news are saying. They are saying that the Nazi’s are a hate group because the are exclusive and hate gays. They were attacked by ANTIFA, which is a what? A love group? ANTIFA hates everything that they disagree with. So they are a hate group too, I guess. It gets confusing when the government and news takes sides picking winners and losers in two violent groups.
What we need to do is get back to the basics. Violence is a crime. Arrest those who are violent and let their ideology be damned. If someone shoots another in anger I do not care if they are a white nationalist, a socialist a communist, a anti-fascist (whatever that is) or anything else. Arrest them and put them in jail. When we get caught up in this group being right no matter what and this other group being bad no matter what we will always fail. Ideology does not excuse violent actions.
America is a free country. It is full of all sorts of ideologies and beliefs. After all we had a true believing socialist run for president. People can be anything and believe anything and march to any drummer they want, as long as they do not break the law. Over the past decade there have been literally thousands of marches for causes. Some are reasonable causes and some may no be. No one heard about any of these marches unless they were in their home town. Only when the government of Charlottesville wanted to pick winners and losers and somehow make Trump look bad, did things fall apart. We ended up with a rolling street battle. These battles will continue and become larger and more widespread if people are allowed to use violence to advance their political agenda. Political violence is a crime and needs to be punished, not praised by the governments and news.
People need to stop referring things in the name of hate. Instead, stick with legal and illegal, moral or immoral, ethical or unethical. Violence for political ends is illegal, wrong, immoral and needs to be punished.
Add to the mix the Southern Poverty Law center (bad form Tim Cook) which is a terrorist organization. It has been said that the SPLC considers everything to the right of Nancy Pelosi a hate group. Have speeches, give money, praise this group or that, however, the news must not take sides. It must be completely objective. Same with the government. Expose and punish crimes and stop deciding what is hate and what is not. All political violence is bad and must be punished.
