Can the emotion of hatred be justified?

Useful how?

Sounds like a pretty contrived rationalisation

Probably more or less. I never really thought about it before I saw this thread.

Negetivity causes problems, I don't think that hatred can be justified after how negetive it can be.

Hatred is an old evolutionary tool to eradicate the opposition. It's horribly out of date though as cooperation brings more to the table for all parts and requires higher intelligence. Actually the reason why Homo Sapiens were able to turn Homo Erectus extinct was through their ability to cooperate, an ability erectus lacked.

Perfect Hatred is a pretty good doom level
