If you want to reduce hatreds then it would help if the "information" that haters propagate and that cause new hatreds to get started is eradicated by legal means. But that involves censurship, surveillance of all kinds, and legal prohibition of anything that haters produce that can be construed to cause hatreds.
..... Freedom/liberty includes the existance of hatreds of all kinds. You can't have it both ways at the same time in the same place.
..... By the way, anyone know what happens to all that hatred that was taught to very many in Germany and other countries between 1933 and 1945? What about current Neo-Nazi and racist groups? Are they enlarging their membership?
..... Hating hate groups is only valid if only quite legal methods are used, and if such hating will lead to these groups' eradication, or at least to a considerable reduction of their legal, illegal, and underground membership.
