This is incomplete because it ignores the possibility of countersignalling

Gammas almost by definition aren't going to be counter-signaling anything.

"you're so inferior that I don't even need to use swear words at you to demonstrate hate"

You seem to be making the mistake under discussion by conflating being superior to someone with "hating" him.

He did not say it was said by gammas. He said that it resembles something said by gammas (but was said by other people). These other people could countersignal.

No, I'm not. I didn't say that feeling superior is hate; I said that feeling superior affects how one expresses hate. Someone who feels superior might express hate using nice words, if his status is such that it is clear that he is not using the nice words to actually be nice.
