Hate serves as a mechanism to externalize vulnerabilities such as fear, insecurity, and perceived injustice by projecting these feelings onto others. Emotional catalysts of hate can worsen when left untreated, leading to increased emotional reactivity and a cycle of negativity. Hate acts like a virus, spreading readily through media and social interactions. Groups often form around shared beliefs, where intolerance of disagreement can fuel hate further. This desensitization causes individuals to view those they disagree with as inherently hateful, perpetuating a cycle of hostility and prejudice.
