RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Thats true of leaders. But as a leader, it's often beneficial to use the hate. Vlad the impaler used hate and extreme practices to instill such fear in the enemy that he is considered a defender and hero to this day.
I would say hate fueled Sherman's march and my only lament for that is that they didn't burn enough.
A lack of hatred towards hatred is indeed approval or support of hatred. You're the "it's not happening to me" person. A lack of resistance is support.
