Only if you're drawing meaning from the fact that people believe their own stereotypes. "Left-wing students fell for parody written by other left-wing students" does not constitute evidence of the truth of the stereotypes contained in the parody.

Exactly. Ascribing the worse possible motives to the people you disagree with is the only form of hate that is still acceptable.

You just ascribe "hateful" motives to anyone disagrees with you, then suddenly your own common, mediocre, garden variety hate is elevated to a higher moral purpose. You're not a hater (you are), you're fighting hate! (not really).

There are a ton of people that operate under this delusion.
