I must state that I don’t think this meets the general “relevance” standard for political posts on LW, and I don’t personally want to see that standard lowered.
That said, I do agree with the central point—in fact it’s because it seems so ethically obvious that I don’t think it clears the relevance bar. Is there anyone here on LW who is likely to disagree with the statement “hating every member of a group X on principle is irrational and counter-productive”? I’m not trying to be sarky, it’s a good post, I just don’t see how it’s likely to provoke a discussion or a debate here.
