E79: Reserve 'Hate' for What Deserves It - Words Matter

from The Junto Podcast Hosted by edgarmills

Host Edgar Mills examines the weight of the word “hate,” contrasting it with anger through Aristotle and modern psychology and warning against casual use that fuels dehumanization. He distinguishes hating systems or ideologies from hating individuals, cites violent examples where reduction of people to symbols led to murder, and argues for empathy and individual discernment. The episode closes with five practical steps to avoid destructive hate: name the feeling, research, separate person from proposition, refuse to pile on, and pause before acting. He finishes with a brief recap of the recent OSS Armed Self‑Defense course.
