In reply to the discussion: H2O Man Survey #39 [View all]Vinca
(50,236 posts)33. We have a cottage industry of hate in this country.
It's been active for decades. The more a radio/television/print personality can hate "the other," the more money they rake in. They, of course, are perfectly content in their gated communities and some even churn out their hate in studios within their luxury prisons. A parent might listen in and become a believer in the hate message and they, in turn, pass it along to their offspring. It's like hamsters on a wheel and the only way to stop it is to control the hamster.
