That's the thing, isn't it? What's hate, what's not, what's appropriate discrimination, what's not (discrimination is just prioritisation of value at the societal level, every society has things it values more than other things, politics is one of the ways to establish that hierarchy). These are all contestable and contested. And if the contest is between unequal powers, then some thought has to be put into the appropriate tactics. Fighting on ground where your opponent is stronger is a high-risk choice.
