Where does that over-stated theory that hatred and violence are rooted in fear even come from? I hear it every time violent incidents happen, but I have yet to see any evidence that you need to fear something in order to hate it.
Sometimes they are (if you had a cat or a dog, you know), though definitely not always, but it’s also the opposite order - first people feel impunity and do bad things to others, and then they fear justice and hate the victim because of that fear.

Its more a lack of understanding, ergo a lack of empathy.

That makes sense, thanks.
Fear of death, endemic to human consciousness. Also, Star Wars.
