Merriam defines
- hate as “intense hostility …” https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hate
- hostility as " deep-seated … ill will" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hostility
- ill will as “unfriendly feeling” https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ill will
So hate is just the extreme end of an “unfriendly feeling” which is synonymous to a negative feeling. We can go “golden middle” on this and say that moderate negative feelings are ideal, but even the moderate form seems synonymous to bias or prejudice.
- bias as “an inclination of temperament or outlook” https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bias
- bias as “to give a settled and often prejudiced outlook to”
Sometimes hate just is. Ain’t nothing going to cause me to not hate cilantro. Just because I hate it though does not mean I wish harm to it. I just want to avoid it.
Avoiding ppl is often seen as ok or good but it is also synonymous with estrangement, alienation, neglect, and marginalization. Also a form of discrimination & prejudice. Thats a lot of words with negative connotation but i meant the literal definitions
Fam if I don’t talk to a stranger, that isn’t neglect. You aren’t owed padded, fluffy kindness by everyone :)
What do you think the word “strange” mean in stranger and estrangement? I am going to need a “vibes” dictionary in order to communicate with yall.
Thats a stretch. Everyone does not hang out with folks they don’t care for and do hang out with folks they do. I liked hanging with fandom folks at fandom events but im meh to sporting events and sure as heck don’t want to sit through a religious service. Its not discrimination because you go to the library over a bar but each place has a type of person with some crossover for bi types.
Look at the dictionary because i am skeptical if you are aware of what discrimination means. There is also the act of “discriminating” as in to discern what from what. I get the impression that there is “vibes” understanding of the words instead of their meaning.
