Psychology of hate, 7 stages of hate.

Posted: Aug 27, 2012

I got to wondering once again what is behind some of the behaviors we see on a lot of forums, so I went looking.

This link discusses one model, explained by a former FBI behavioral analyst, that is easy to apply to on-line forum discussions, where behaviors would, of course, play out in the first four stages. (The discussion on skinhead groups can be skipped over, if desired, with the actual 7 stages explained below.)

It was the last section, though, on how indulging in hate tends to play out in the work place that was particularly interesting to me,. I've seen this stuff. We all have, of course, as so many of us cite not having to among the benefits of working at home.

That's stupid. Most of us don't hate Obama, per se, - we hate his destructiveness.(sm)

Although it is hard to separate the two, since he is destroying us so brazenly. I don't need the FBI to tell me why I dislike him so intensely. Haters is a word made up by the liberals, and I don't use it. It's also stupid.

Is there a difference between intense dislike and hate? - nm

I hope so. Without intense dislike I couldn't claim - to actually hate very little. :) NM

I don't know, but as a Christian, I try very hard not - to say I hate him.

what matters is how you feel - not how you say it - nm

SM, the article's about...really energetic haters - (my term), not any one viewpoint.

We all are shocked and appalled, and angry, about many things, but needing to hate so much that it has to be expressed again and again, feeding off it, and constantly searching for fuel so it can burn hot all the time is something different.

Something that has become one of the largest problems we all face. You know, "United we stand, divided we fall?" We're falling.

Interesting read... - SK

And yes, I agree that it can be found, to lesser degrees, in public forums -- name calling, verbal attacks.

Since hatred is an expression of fear, my first thought when I see something like that is, "What are they afraid of?".

Sadly, I think it's way too pervasive in our society right now. IMHO (and at the risk of seeming all too ommmmm), we would all do well to remember that though we may have different viewpoints, they are all equally valid even if we don't agree with them. At the end of the day, we're all walking this earth together doing the best we can.

Shutting up now and going to sing another chorus of kumbaya (most likely off-key).

Ommm, ommm, ommm. :) I strongly recommend "The Righteous - Mind: Why Good People Are Divided (SM)

by Politics and Religion.

I don't agree that all viewpoints are equally valid (and neither do you if you think about it), but this book helped me understand that viewpoints I considered hypocritical and in the end highly immoral were in fact genuinely moral in their way.

People tend to view morality either from and individualistic (Western) approach or communal, both products of the cultures they were raised in and their own personalities, and we end up with lots of overlap but also some very different results.

As an individualistic product, I went and found this book after a group of neighbors completely failed to get angered by a new revelation of corruption that allowed a wealthy group to seize an old couple's home and the conversation moved on to their genuine outrage over vulgar language on HBO--and what really needed to be done about THAT. (We're in the Bible Belt here.) The book definitely helped tremendously. Turns out they're still worth knowing after all, although I'm not sure they all feel the same about me. :)

Sounds like an interesting read... - SK

No, I really do think that all viewpoints are valid... I have no right to invalidate someone else's opinion or perspective. Doesn't mean I agree with them, but I do my best to respect them, even if I debate them.

Thanks for the book suggestion.... It does sound very interesting and I love stuff like that!

Ommmmmmm.......

SK, it's well written and enjoyable to read. I started with - a what on earth is wrong with them?

viewpoint. As it turned out, it didn't actually provide an answer to that screwed-up question, but it's full of anecdotes and stories and answers to many others. I'm no Pollyanna, but I feel a lot better about all of us.

Thank you. Especially interesting how the article notes the Rise of 3rd Reich. This forum certainly has become hate infested.

Because of the posts below, I decided to rely on my own research. What in the hell is wrong with the Democrats? There are numerous, hateful, disgusting comments the Liberals seem proud to own.

These are the same Democrats that gave a standing ovation to Fluke because she wanted taxpayer money to pay for her $ ...

There, is that better? I read somewhere on this board that a poster thought there was one person posting all those hateful messages. I have now been called a punk, a psychotic and pretty much a hate-filled maniac. I am just a liberal, 71-year-old, college educated American who was trying to find out what Obama has done that makes people so angry and I have not insulted anyone. However, there is no way to have a conversation with someone who accepts Fox News as gospel and ...

and perhaps was influenced by the hateful left rhetoric after the shootings? Holding up a picture and saying "you're dead?" Didn't we see a blog posted about "dead to me?" "Can't someone shoot her in the head?" "He should be shot in the head..." THIS is why it needs to be dialed down, and THIS is why people need to act more responsibly. And NOW would be the time for those on the left who do not want to see the violence escalated, including that sheri ...

What is the senate for? What does congress do? Some of the opinions stated here clearly show nothing but personality conflicts - Bush or O, doesn't matter. Bottom line - O walked into a disaster when he took office. The lies about the state of the economy - Bush did not do that by himself either (congress). What we heard up until his last 6 months in office was, "The economy is strong." Perhaps so far in this administration some things should have been ...

A very comforting show about simple pleasures of family and good food. My least favorite is Trisha's Southern Kitchen. I have seen her cook with Paula, and I enjoyed her then, but when she spun ...
