And you can hate people causing cruelty without hating cruelty itself (in the sense of cruelty present in a society). One can accept some amount of cruelty as part of the human condition. I can. I mean I do not generically hate people who are cruel as long as I do not know why they are ruel I give them the benefit of the doubt. They may see themselves as the hero of their own story e.g. avenging some wrong or affectfully leashing out. Which I do not condone but which is not bad enough for me to hate.
