For years, my wife would advise me of hating this or that, and I'd be all, "nah. I'm angry right now but i don't hate anything. It takes too much energy. I'd rather take a nap."

And i point out how unnatural hate is, how hard people have to work to keep it up.

All too easily they get comfortable and relax, and sure they might have conditioned themselves into reflexive bigotry, but hate is a fire that burns itself out. It's exhausting.

@lunareclipse 🤯 good quote. When we shut down and shame parts of ourselves, we lean towards hate of another that reminds us of those rejected parts.

It feels good to ridicule outside ourselves what we feel as shame inside.

It’s why transphobia is so bad. Repressing gender hurts.

Jesus really was a pretty radical guy and every once in a while it sneaks through despite the best efforts of supremacist religion.
