i am way too tired to make a salient point so i’ll just say that we made a patch or shirt or something at one point that said “love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor” basically because of this exact thing. not to sound like any family-friendly media that states its lesson outright, but love always trumps hate, even if what you’re hating is hatred itself. love is more sustainable, more enjoyable, and more valuable.

(TW doesn’t really like the word “love” for this point, but neither of us can think of a better one. “care” is a bit too ambiguous. i think “love” works fine for a dreamwidth comment or jacket patch, though.) -crow&
