Hatred comes in every form, and it doesn’t matter what side of a border or a struggle it is on. Violence born of hatred should have no place, not ever, in our world. Love is a hard path, especially when hate comes calling. Resist hate. Choose love. Choose peace.
@georgetakei Biden has bit the poisened apple with this one.
@georgetakei the oppressed have never been successful in not being oppressed by loving their oppressor. They love themselves and their family, I say it's natural to hate ones oppressor.

@yeet_da_rich @georgetakei
It may be natural, but it's also detrimental.

Hate poisons the mind and makes clear thinking impossible. It is not necessary to hate your oppressor in order to resist them. You don't have to love them, either, of course. It's not binary.

@bruce @georgetakei I'm just a thinker here, and I haven't fully fleshed this out, but it feels like this talk of resisting hate is denying a human emotion. It is a natural reaction, an aversion to harm in this case. It is what one does with that hate. Yes let it go, but also allow oneself that part of human experience without that judgement like it's a moral failing.
@georgetakei
Violence, in it's every form is absolutely disgusting

@georgetakei I believe that not only hatred but greed are poisoning the whole world. Big oil are making harder to fulfill the Paris treaty regarding the treatment of CO2, the greed in turning Russian into an idealized form of the Soviet Union, and the attempt to destroy the peace that was created by Yasser Arafat and Yishak Rabin (Oslo accords).
@georgetakei The problem with Boris Johnson was so many women did love him
@georgetakei
agreed,violence should have no place... but sadly, it's here. it amazes me how(why) it's always been this way, and how it continues to be so.
@georgetakei Except Nazis… I hate Nazis.
@georgetakei @camstonefaux Made for a great Blues Brothers bridge scene, though. I watch that clip all the time when I feel like I need a boost of "world needs to be better today" on my screen. Makes me smile.
