'Useful idiots' is an accurate description of the world right now (might have been Lenin's phrase, but doesn't matter). The real 'hate' generally comes from the minority of psychopaths/narcissists at the top - the fish rots from the head etc. The success of radical feminism back in the 60s and 70s probably gave licence to all of the current crop of minority group 'victims ' to blame others for their perceived problems - the successful demonising of half of the human race was certainly a good model to use. By doing that, the feminists did all of the heavy lifting, so that now any group with a real or imagined grievance only has to target a small subset of that population to gain credibility.

Recently on his podcast, James Delingpole interviewed a very articulate ex-policeman who concluded that virtually all UK police and their 'superiors' had no understanding of why they were enforcing government covid policies - for over two years! Useful idiots indeed.
