War against Hatred, will we ever win?
What's the point behind knowingly being hateful to others? There's no point to it, I feel like I'd rather be loved then feared.
And when I'm gone, all that fear you wrought, all that hatred you brought down others, it's all gonna be remembered, people are just gonna knowingly mock you, which is another cycle of hatred that just continues endlessly.

That's because you're a genuinely good person.

I agree. I want people to love, be positive, and help each other.
I applaud the sentiment, I really do. There's nothing useful or moral about hate. There's nothing you can do on a systemic societal level to get rid of it though because the burden of good and evil is something that must be voluntarily adopted by each individual. There will always be people out their who shirk that responsibility, and everyone will fail at some point to live up to this ideal.

Hate creates conflict. Conflict brings about evolution. Progress = good. Therefore, hate = good.
This is an idealized Machiavellian perspective. It's tacitly false, as well. It's easily demonstrably wrong with all the science, medical, and technology breakthroughs which were done to help others (charitable work) or to improve the quality of life of as many people as possible.
How old you? This is relevant: usually, your type of perspective, people grow out of it.

Explain that.

Deep down, it may look like nothing but profit, but he invested into THOSE things for a reason.

Well, then that wouldn't be charitable work, now would it? So why should I explain your strawman scenario? 👆

Charitable work that created life-saving drugs, medical procedures, scientific break-throughs? Name them.
Hell no. You use google.
And after eliminating some of your edgelord ignorance, post back into the thread your findings with an apology.
It's not my job to educate you with things that are literally common knowledge. In fact, I think you're even pretending to ignore lots of the charitable work (the "changing the world for the betterment of humanity" kind of work) that's quite publicly acknowledged and happening today, because you'd rather be an edgelord.
Why do you insist on wallowing in ignorance or at least making you look like you are wallowing in ignorance? It's not "cool" to be appear to be ignorant.
