I believe that hate and anger, like stress, was a tool to survive as far as evolution is concerned. We needed stress, for instance, to always be on alert and protective. But honeslty, nowadays I don't see any reason why hate and anger could be useful. I believe one who has lots of hate and anger always loses in long term.
I often see this in politics.
