Does it solve it? Or does it just shove it away until it pops up again?
Hate doesn’t look for solutions, it just seeks to remove something detesteble. A revolution fueled by hate toppled a regime… just for something else, often much worse, to take its place.
Hate is great and continual, persistent determination of a singular goal… not for effective progress.
You attribute far too much to a simple, inefficient, emotion.
Compassion, empathy, desire to do good creates positive change. All hate does is perpetuate a cycle of fear and violence. It can seem like a positive in the short term, but it never lasts.
Everything is cyclical. You can have systems premised on “love” and end up in the same shit pool later. That’s not really relevant - everything’s temporary.
Plenty of hateful revolutions (eg. France, Russia, China) have made lasting long term changes. Plenty of love-based movements have flopped quickly (most communes, the hippy generation, lots of romantic relationships).
So I think you’re demonstrably incorrect when claiming one emotional source creates lasting effects and the other doesn’t.
I mean, one of the most persistent human endeavors: Holy Wars are fueled by hate and last pretty much longer than anything else we do.
We’re apes, not utopians. Hungry emotionally suffering, creatures of simple habits and reactions. Not angels, or saints.
So yeah, plenty of persistent, long lasting effects and activities are fueled by hate. You might not see positivity or growth there, but we’re not debating your opinion. We’re debating the emotional fuel source, it’s power and longevity.

It’s a mainstay of human behavior.
