As I know what you are attempting to say, I will not quibble about the
precise word here, though perhaps I should as the representation made by
that word is where I disagree.

It is possible to recognize all of those items you mention as "not
desireable," and as issues to "be against" or "to solve," without hate
of them.

I do disagree, in that I do not see "hate" as good. IMHO "hate" carries
damaging emotional baggage, most often to the "one that hates," and
affects actions in a negative way. I do not disagree with the premise
that it can be a great "motivational" factor - indeed, one of the
definitions of the word is: "A feeling of dislike so strong that it
demands action."

Whatever it takes, I'd guess... fight it effectively with emotional
fervor or fight it rationally effectively with intellectual motives;
effectively seems to be the central idea; get the job done...

I do not attempt to "correct" the motivations of others, but I will
argue issues; which is what I did when the poster infered it as bad with
"wouldn't hate ... so much" as a correctable issue... ;-}
