"Hate" Groups - how do followers logically and morally stand by them?

Maybe I don't know. Not every racial/ethnic/cultural group is compatible nor can or should be made so under the same jurisdiction. It's not so much hate but the negative effects and consequences of multiculturalism. I don't hate the various peoples and cultures in their ancestral and cultural homelands but I might hate having them in great numbers naturalized in America.

All hate groups have members that have had "incidents" or family member incidents. Or families stick together in radical thinking groups. Jews are bad because of XXX, Whites are bad XXX, Blacks are bad XXX. So what happens is they need a collective to bring their emotional and logical support thru a form of HATE or RIGHTEOUS view point and or what they believe GOD says.

This applies to religions as well.

I think there's definitely a lot of truth to that. For some, it's a way to fit in, to be part of a collective and feel embattled.

But I also think the new leftist social justice / Antifa among young people is the culmination of some incredibly rapid technological shifts (internet, smartphones, social media), a concerted effort to equivocate everything (see post-modernism / relativism), and a generation raised in large part to be insulated from pain, struggle, failure, etc. (see Johnathan Haidt's "anti-fragile" vids and writings).

And one thing to keep in mind is that Antifa is relatively new to the US but has been around for decades in Europe -- and is much more violent and radicalized and serious over there.

Educated people never enter into such organizations, they only use them for their political or personal purposes
