I get the feeling while reading this that you're purposely trying to hide your intent, as I'm unable to tell which angle you're arguing from. Though I could take a guess, I don't think a reader should have to. If I'm right, and we may never know, the next obvious question is: Why are you hiding your intent? My strongest suspicion is that this is some attempt at a Trojan horse. To vaguely point at an almost universally bad thing so that the reader is sure to agree, and then you jump out with your intent. My second suspicion is you're not confident enough to state it plainly. And if I'm wrong, I came by it in an honest attempt to understand a wall of text containing out of context responses.
Thank you for reading the article and for the attempt to give a healthy critique in place of disapproving my personality blindly like others do. According to you the intent of this article is not clear however, paragraph 3 is all about it. Here is the quote:
“This article is exclusively about HATE that is the consequence of psychological hedonism (a view that each of us pursues exclusively our own pleasure).”
Do you not understand that even expressing your own displeasure IS psychological hedonism? You do it because it makes you feel good, or you wouldn't do it.
