This is about your emotional posture toward “evil” in society and those who perpetrate it. When navigating your worldview and beliefs about how humanity/society/the world should change, be very cautious when it comes to hate. Suffering should diminish and those who create it should be stopped, but if you find your self promoting or fantasizing their death or suffering, it indicates that you are on dangerous ground, psychologically.

Take the time to reassess your feelings, frame your beliefs from a more rational standpoint, and don’t give in to the urge to dehumanize others. It will feel justifiable to you in the moment, but indulging that can only lead to more harm down the road. If someone you know encourages those feelings in you, be aware that you are being radicalized.
