Creating hate using media and social networks

As someone well over age 50 I learned that it's much easier to attract attention with hate than with love, it's much easier for people to hate or to feel rage than to even try to understand. A lot of people see everything as they are told to see, by media, or internet, or whatever, evil versus good. Nothing in between! Just bad-good, no grey areas. And everything is a shade of grey (nothing to do the famous franchise), there are very little things, events, attitudes, opinions, people, points of view etc that are quite close to 100% evil or 100% good, but none of it is completely there. Sad thing is, although feeling love, gratefulness, being kind and understanding DOES indeed makes us feel better, it is easier to feel rage, hate, anger, mistrust, and refusing to understand, even though all that, on the long run, makes us feel miserable.
It's too easy to watch the news and believe one whole nation is just bad, bad people, who should be wiped out, just because, well, people on tv said so. It's so easy to hate people for the way they were just born. Too many people watch videos online just to spew endless hate to creator who obviously doesn't do anything wrong to anyone. And not just to people who live unconventional lives, but even for minor stuff, I saw hate on videos where people talk about make up, or cooking, or just plain lifestyle, imagine what can you read if someone mentions politics! Sure, there are people who are doing wrong in public, hurting others, some of them are just ignorant, but many actually use the human obsession with rage and just create rage-bait to gain viewing. We all know people do this. And it pays well, so why not?
There are some "creators" whose whole theme of their work is hate. A lot of them look either quite miserable or angry, I've never seen one that is genuinely happy. The most dangerous, in my opinion, are people who are intelligent and spread hate, although less intelligent people can often do as much damage. How does that even start? What the usual path?
Usual algorithm is to find several people of group you target to hate that are doing something objectively wrong and hurting others, even maybe criminal acts. The fact that they are of certain nationality, or race, gender, or religion, or sexual orientation or whatever, can be pure coincidence, but it doesn't matter to the one who creates hate. What is important to their "mission" is to find at least few examples. That's very important step in creating hate. After that, they put the story and try to represent as those people are pure representation of targeted group-to-hate. Easy-peasy! And for some, that's all it takes, it's all set to hate everyone in targeted group. Mind you, it does not matter what target group is, for some red-pill channels it could be women so they find few women who did something more or less awful and literally put them as presentation of all women.
For strict conservatives, it could be someone who is violent and unstable but presents as liberal, and it could be one or two people but enough to be set as presentation of all liberals. Or it could be completely wrong presentation of a movement, like feminism is so often mispresented as "hating on men" or "women request that they have more rights and men have none" or "women want to burden all women with work plus domestic plus being moms and it's too much" etc. Do I need to state once again, that none of that is what feminism stands for? Feminism is just giving women equal basic human rights as men, and right to choose the life they want not to have life determined to them, whether they like it or not. So simple, yet, so wrongly presented. Whenever someone wants to create hate, first they do is find a bait to spread rage. That's usually through misinterpretations, spreading fear, targeting few people from that groups that just happened to be "bad apples" because they are bad people and nothing else, and involve politics, involve masses of miserable people who feel powerless, unhappy, who feel hopeless and there is your target audience!
Don't be fooled, everyone who spreads hate has an agenda, and it's NOT to warn you or reach you something. It's not to "clear the world" or make it better in any way. It's to get something for themselves. Do not hate just to hate, use your own brain, be aware, be smart, don't be manipulated, and do not let hate and rage poison your mind no matter what. Trust me, LOVE and acceptance, understanding and grace are much more pleasant to feel, and life is better when you feel positive emotions than all than poison thoughts that are pushed on us daily. Hate will get you nowhere, it will not get you anything good in life. It will hurt someone, it could be bad for everyone, including you. Be noble, be graceful, be understanding. Do not let anyone walk over you or manipulate you, be aware but be kind to yourself and to everyone who deserves it. No matter what some influencer on Youtube or on TV news tells you. Use your own brain!

Sicily, second time, Taormina, Giardini Naxos

 So, I have been to Italy this Summer, like I've been in 2023. I've found a little non-expensive hotel on the beach, kind of fair walk far from the center of the town but still the best I could find. I like Sicily. It's lovely, a bit scorched, hot and crowded in August but still nice. Lots of art in Taormina, not just paintings, sculptures, architecture, but also food... that food! How are Italians such slim people I can not understand. All they eat is pasta, cakes, cookies, pastries... And this time, I got giant deluxe room on the top of the hotel mansion, because there were no ordinary rooms left! You gotta love such exchange! Top floor, look at the Sicily from above and giant tv, all channels in Italian, but well... I didn't complain. Lots of pasta, lots of cakes, some gelato, some sunburns while hiking under sun and once got lost looking for Communal garden, in the sun, on high heels. Even the airport wasn't bad experience, crowded but not too crowded, nice coff...

Are women humans?

Social media can be the devil. I admit I enjoy Youtube a lot, there are lots of very enjoyable channels, with quality information, or fun and comedy, or just plain enjoyable. Then, there are the other ones. I really can't tell why I keep getting those on my recommended list because I don't like them, I don't search for them, and I usually mark them as "not interested". Anti-women videos. I took a peak at few of them and it made me sad and angry at the same time. Why people always invent reasons to hate groups of people based on various things? There are hate videos on certain nationalities, races, religions, sexual orientations, whatever you can imagine evil human mind can think of. And of course, there are videos directed at women. Lets be real, I do not condone any type of hate based on gender, nationality, race, traditions, sexual orientation, or whatever type of criteria evil human mind can invent. I don't care for men-hating videos too. I do not think peo...
