If you become consumed with hating the outgroup then you will suck the joy right out of your own life.
It is good to fight for your beliefs sure but engaging in constant hatred is a pathway to despair and destruction.
Give up on the star wars philosophy, because it's not real. It's just something Lucas thought up during an Adderall binge.
In real life it is in fact entirely possible to both despise the enemy as they deserve, and enjoy one's own life and loved ones. I hate the wicked because they should be hated, it's that simple. I can even derive enjoyment from their suffering, and still be a loving husband and caring father into the mix. People used to do this all the time, it was the norm throughout history before Hollywood poisoned everyone's minds with obvious propaganda.
Go read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
It is not "Star Wars" that proposes the importance of not being consumed by emotions especially negative emotions like hatred.
I am not saying that you can never hate anyone. I am saying you should not let hatred consume you entirely. There is a nuance here that you are missing.
The "nuance" you seem to be talking about is just being an adult. Hatred, mockery, derision, whatever term you prefer, is a perfectly normal emotion to direct at redditors. They're not harmful to anyone with more self awareness than a child.
It's got nothing to do with Hollywood.
