You do not have to hate your target just manipulate them. Sympathize, and convince "con" them that you have their interests at heart. One of the best expressions was the hearts and minds con of the Vietnam era which did not work. My favorite are politicians who depend on white privilege for a pass, but through speeches have convinced minorities they are on their side, while the whole time they milk white privilege to their financial benefit. Hatred is strong, deceit much more effective.

Make no mistake "Cons" kill people very efficiently.
