Everyone has their own instinct to hate something and it's natural. It's like you don't have to tell a kid that they have to hate shit because it smells bad. They just will hate it naturally. It's what makes someone a person. But if you're talking about someone hating something or someone because everyone else hated them without knowing the reason why, that's not really hate. That's insecurity because they don't want to be hated by others and they may just do that for attention. That's basically the cancel culture.
Those people who "hate" someone for the sake don't really have any real justification but they're doing it for themselves. That maybe a learned thing. But real hatred is not.
Even when it comes to hating someone because they look like that. You personally don't like how they look, that's not learned. That's natural but it's not justifiable to treat them differently because of that.
Sorry, but "It's normal for a toddler to play in poop, because they haven't yet developed the usual disgust reaction." drrachelandrew.com/.../why-do-kids-play-with-poop
That's because their brains aren't developed yet. Toddlers grow up eventually and they will instinctively hate it without anyone telling them to.
Thanks for MHO!
I believe it's learned. Babies are unable to hate and children only hate if an adult tells them do so.
People also learn to to hate based on one or two experiences or in things they heard of but never experienced.
But what do you think make babies cry?
@Aiko_E_Lara Hunger, pain, poop
Then that's something they hate. And nobody taught them that. So it's not really learned
@Aiko_E_Lara I suppose this question is about hating people not hating things.
It involves the same principle actually. There are just toxic people that nobody have to tell you to hate them. It's what makes someone "human" with a free will. Even animals have that trait.
Babies may not know how to hate someone because they are vulnerable and they can't defend themselves. They depend on anyone to survive but when they grow up even if you don't tell them to hate someone because of this or that, that instinct will just come off naturally just like how they hate those things you mentioned.
Both. It can be learned but it’s also an innate human emotion that needs to be controlled and managed properly.

Hate is 100% a learned, could NEVER be innate just like any emotion and also a word that’s banded about too frequently and over-used as people feel the need to exaggerate their negative emotion in an effort to affect change or communicate strongly , the problem here is that it’s instantly de-valued.
Other synonyms make more sense when “hate” is used instead , it’s become commonplace like a sickness.
Innate, but people have to be taught to actively hate. (By "innate," children as young as six months old can detect different skin tones. However, they must learn from elders that those with such skin shades are regarded inferior and/or evil by their first teachers.)
Hatred is learned. Even more so now with coded language and dog whistles. Even historically with euphemisms. You could almost take a college course on the subject anywhere you live.
it's one of the emotions most of us are born able to feel
Hate is not learned. Hate for something is. It's really that simple.
@laly520 Learnt, as we have to learn everything in life at the very beginning, right?
I will say THIS, I never had a problem with Italians and East Asian people, until I actually went there. I believe hate is bred from experience.
Why do have trouble with Italians, KostasKouvalis? Did they dislike your Greek heritage?
@handsomelad70 I don't think there is one honest person in Rome. But generally speaking their very arrogant and cocky. Their food really isn't that great. They're very vengeful and never take any responsibility. It's always someone else's fault. And it's logistically very disorganized.
OK, I'll have to at least take it under advisement, KostasKouvalis.
It's definitely learned. Fear is a natural response to the unknown, hatred of the unknown is learned.
Why not both. Instincts are innate and learned. Passed on generation to generation. When we are in the woods we don't look out for rabbit paw prints and expect danger. We look out for wolves and bears because they do wolf amd bear shit. The same in Chicago or Philadelphia. We don't watch out for white people prints we watch out for N word prints. Because N words do what N words do
I think it's misunderstood, it's much easier to label those ideologically opposed to us as "hateful" rather than actually learn about them
It's learned and then reciprocated. Every instance I know personally of amongst different cultures is first a victim and then the antogonizer.
Well if you punch me you don't need to sit me through a class for me to learn to hate you for it 🤷
if we mean hate like racism or sexism hatred.. that stuff is definitely learned. and once it is learned its hard to get them to unlearn it.
It's definitely learned when you see kids play together they don't care what color their playmate is all they see is another kid to play with and to have fun with
i think by nature it's the emotion that is easiest to trigger and the most contageous of all.
learned. There may be some genetics involved, but I think it's 90-99% learned
It's a survival skill of humans to be wary of "others".
@laly520 hate come from both ways but mostly learned and influenced by
It is always learned. If you have ever read Call of the Wild, I like to think of it as the Law of Club, although that speaks more of the fear aspect than hatred which is mutually exclusive to hatred but are often associated.
I think it’s learned. Children don’t hate or see race. I think we all think we deserve more or better things and we grow to hate those with more or don’t see life the same as ourselves.
