What does it mean to hate? Some would insist that you should be "above" hate -- but are they truly "above" it, or do they just hate different things or different people? Is the idea that you should love everyone in some great "brotherhood of man" simply a secularized echo of Christianity?
Solar Idealism was conceived as a response to ideologies which seems to offer nothing but anger and hatred -- with no viable positive vision for the future (except to be rid of their enemies).
However, it is also true that men bond at a much higher speed if they are presented with a shared ordeal or a common enemy. Hate unites men (against other men or external threats).
Co-host @ChristopherRobertson has done a lot of thinking about hate. He wrote a book titled In Defense of Hatred, which I never read, but we'll talk about that as well.
