Rage is blinding and hard to keep up. A passive smoldering hatred is easy to maintain, easy to stoke, and can be hidden.

Hatred gives them power over you by acknowledging them as not only an existence worth considering, but actively creating reactions and emotions inside you. Its letting them live rent free in your head.

Rage is self originated, self sustaining, and gives them no power as its blindness makes it completely detached from anyone or anything.

The way to evict them is with a shallow mass grave, and quite frankly I'm content to let anyone live rent free in my head if that's where I get to put them in the end.

If we live in a world where that is an option actually on the table, I'll give you it. But we still live in a society for the moment and cannot.
