Why Do
Hate Groups Exist?
Perhaps the more important question is why does hate exist? That is a question mankind has struggled with
for our entire existence. If you have a
good answer I am sure the world would love to hear it. I know I don’t, but I do know greed, envy,
vice, and hate have existed since the beginnings of our humanity. One of the first stories in the Old Testament
is Cain’s killing of his brother Able.
I am pretty sure creating alternative hate (alt-hate)
groups is not likely to end this unfortunate human trait, for these alt-hate
groups will just fuel hate for a slightly different reason.
Also, no matter what the government attempts to do, these
groups will not cease to exist. The
human spirit, for better or worse, will find ways to take these movements
underground even deeper than they now are.
Acknowledging Godwin’s law, we have only to look at the original Nazi’s
and their attempts to crush resistance groups both in Germany-Austria, and the conquered
lands. The government simply cannot put
enough laws in place, or lawman to enforce them to prevent their existence.
Until we find a way to end hate; these groups will
exist. If we, especially our politicians and celebrity leaders, were to universally condemn
hate groups, in all their forms, perhaps we might reduce them, but as long as
some believe their violent groups are okay, and it’s just the other side that is
evil, then the hate will go on.
