One of the most influential forces around the world is the proliferation of verbal abuse. With the rapid expansion of information exchanges through technology, what we say can be more powerful than ever. You don't have to be a celebrity or politician, or even a journalist, to reach millions of minds with your ideas. Manipulating language has always been dangerous, but now it carries enormous impact, because the millennial and gen-z generations are super sensitive to personal grievance, to passive aggression, to any form of criticism, and their emotional balance is paramount in their life.

Hate is perhaps the strongest and most pervasive emotion that can be blamed for cultural unrest. So it is an easy tool of propaganda. Ascribing hatred to a person or a group is virtually indefensible. You can't disprove a negative, intangible and ugly defamation. It is the perfect weapon because it can cause enormous damage that can never effectively be detoured.
