Discovered some article on Twitter titled "I'm Tired of Hate."
That's pointless. "Tired of" is another way of saying "hate," so what it really means is "hating hate."
That is, in some small measure, being part of the very thing you despise. Is that good?
Even if not a self-contradiction, it's pointless. It does nothing. Though it's often the wind from Blowhards, Assholes, and Purity testers. You must be the one saying "I hate foobars!" with the greatest bellicosity, and the least respect for the situation and individuality of those who are like those who create foobars. Anyone can see, this is not going to make the situation better, unless you are organizing The Crusades, which also proves the point, because those are always pointless too.
The key to reducing hate starts with the first step. The first step to reducing hate is Understanding Hate.
Purity testers will always say this is attempting to justify it. They wrap their warp around everything.
However, it is indeed true, and should not be denied, that Understanding is a key part of Love.
So, yes, the answer to hate, the solution to hate, and all that, is as with all things Love.
And I'm not merely being New Agey about this. It's basic philosophy, almost semantics, repeated by many, including early Christian philosophers.
