"Should" implies a goal. If your goal is to prevent those others from stripping others of their rights, then whether hate is useful depends on you. If you can sustain a high level of motivation without the soul-twisting suffering of deep hatred, that's probably better for you.
And somehow, I think that hating evil people is a concession to them-- they live in hate, and they've managed to draw you into their sick world. Better to act decisvely against them-- control them, contain them, or even kill them if absolutely necessary-- but without letting your own emotional state get poisoned.
I love this. It's so true. They only people who are awful enough to be hated, do not deserve such a gift.
I think I am incapable of hating people. I've known some pretty awful people in my life. Some of my darkest most terrifying nightmares are actually just replays of actual horrors I suffered at the hands of human monsters. Yet, I cannot hate them. I just feel so sad for them. I think it must be a painful existence to live inside an evil mind. I don't envy them their darkness. I can't imagine they actually enjoy being that way.
