How Can People Hate Other People They Don't Even Know?

[Ocelot II]

10. Fear. They've been persuaded that those *other* people will cause harm to them,

their communities, their standards, their money, whatever. The (mostly brown) immigrants will flood the country in order to murder children, rape women and steal jobs (while also living off welfare - the conundrum of Schrödinger's Immigrants). Jews will hoard all the money. Black Americans will riot and burn down our cities. Muslims are anti-Christian terrorists who have declared jihad on the suburbs. Feminists want to abort all the babies and become men. Democrats want to turn the government Communist and send everyone to collective farms where they will sleep on dirt floors and be paid in potatoes. And so forth. If you fear someone that much you're gonna hate them - and the anger arising from hate is exciting because it makes you feel like a righteous, unfairly persecuted victim.
