Calculating Costs of Hate Crimes

Wherein lies the great dividing moral distinction between hate crimes of socioeconomic historic proportion and multicultural perpetuation, and the more mundane population of defiance crimes of a more personal nature? Why is society's right to aggressively imprison unto nutritional neglect, to kill and maim in just vengeance of angry sociopathic retribution, politically and economically correct, yet not these smaller personal issues of ego-defiance, LeftBrain exercising WinLose Competitions for political and/or economic survival-thrival powers? Which crimes are not self-enslaving, hating crimes of calculating and emotive passions? What crimes of aggressive terror or malignant neglect of healthier options wears no stink of hate? Whether conducted as public retribution or private rebuke of ego-supremacist behaviors, lacking are self-esteem of WinWin Both-And justice-option hunting and gathering together. Hate breeds further hate, as love co-arises love. Revenge is usually counter productive where hypnotic addictions rooted in an unholy internal constellation of anger+fear=active distrust moving toward paranoid hate-panic tyrannically pathological nightmares bleeding back into silos of despair, aloneness fog of white noise, timeless absence of healthy hope. What seems needed are ecotherapeutic self-nutritionists, lovers and beautifiers of co-empathic trust co-mentoring mutual invitations into deep ecology of learning healthy nutritional life options as compared and contrasted with ego-purgation (0)-sum notnot life-giving, restraints on right-now cooperative abundance. Who dares continue throwing stones when we might regenerate love's healthier WinWin Economics instead? Criminalizing hatred itself is like trying to fight fire with more fire; it can work but is best reserved as last extreme resort response to wilder sweeping climatic conflagrations, which would not have occurred had we compulsory health education about love regeneration rather than anger management removed from its wiser, more ecosystemic home. Perhaps it is fair revenge to imprison sociopathic haters with other haters, but who would that leave out, and what shall we all do within our mutual imprisonment of fear and anger? Provide Anger Management remediation, yet not even discuss concomitant absence of love as self-optimizing health, never mention absorbing truths of cooperative political and economic therapeutic beauty? What do we feed our prisoners, our self as other hating outlaws? Do we serve up healthy relationships and environments, or ever more toxic plastic degradations that will continue to replenish pathological self-hate? Imprisoning haters, without repurposing or even simply inviting to conjoin a more therapeutic life, discovering potential lovers as co-mentors, satisfies political lust for vengeance in exchange for defiance only if we are content to continue on their future abuse and neglected generations, future active distrusters and criminally addicted self and other haters. Which of your crimes against nature are you so sure did not emerge from co-arising nondual fears and angers? conjoined to hate self-hating haters, devolving away from WinWin regenerative exegesis, plummeting terror-climatic norms of emotional despair reduced toward pathological LoseLose political-economic ecology of not-really-so-much Grace. Enslaving and imprisoning fractured hostile lives while throwing away our deep listening key is like intentionally placing an abused/neglected child with an exhausted, starving, addicted sexual predator, hoping they will teach each other further dramatic exploits in what to never do.
