Last week I was filming this environmental conference and there were all these politicians there. They were all bitching about past governments and putting forward statistics: the whole thing was very tedious. Anyway, this professor came up to speak and he just obliterated them. He tore apart their targets, showed their statistics were lies and said that the only time a government has dropped over 5% in carbon emissions is with the COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET UNION.
It made me think about hatred. This guy, you could tell, hated the politicians and their weedy way of shirking responsibility. In a way, I empathise with him. I think hatred is very important - without it love is meaningless, because if you can't define what you stand against then what are you standing for? Hating fascists is a cliche, but it's a very important one: the Holocaust brought about the most universal hatred in history and rightly so.
But it doesn't really stop there. If you love a song, you must hate others because otherwise you'll just listen to anything. Hating people is stupid because it presumes that we know that person: but hating things IN THEM is very important. I see a lot of things in people that can be immediately reduced to shapes unrecognisable to that person - things that are derivative, hypocritical or pretentious.
It's natural to hate anything that is fake to you - hatred can be just an eye in you that sees clearer. You can't use love to destroy what is shallow. Be who you are, and learn to hate: because there is no passion without hatred.
