Ok so your telling me since when I was bad in my childhood and spanked with a switch that I can become one?

Emotions are stronger then intellect, much stronger. And most of these people suffered in bad childhoods and were drilled or neglected into disempathy. (That’s not the necessary reaction to such childhoods but it’s a common reaction.)

Anyone can become filled with hate.

No. Your response to such childhood is very individual. It’s a very common stance to live your life the opposite way of your parents lifestyle. That’s what produced the 1960s air of change in culture - hippies lived the very opposite of their parents ideals.
I simply point out well researched patterns in childhoods and their influence on character traits. Look up developmental psychology and transgenerational patterns. In Germany there’s a lot of research and publication about “war children” and “war grandchildren” (Kriegskinder und Kriegsenkel) which in general attributes a lot of the countries troubles and shortcomings to the upbringing of kids in a war and post war society with a lot of shame and guilt.

It’s weird how some people turn into neo-nazis or incels after that and I just pay sexy Russian dom mommies to beat me within an inch of my life.

That’s certainly their rationale.

To be fair, those involved in the bad childhoods also are likely to have bad childhoods themselves (the adults I mean).
ladicius@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Transgenerational stuff, victims becoming offenders and the likes.
Yep, you’re right, that’s what’s meant here.

Just to say, but what causes those things are hate and fear.
The second one doesn’t require trauma.
ladicius@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Fear is a general human trait woven into our existences and should/could be reduced in a loving and supporting childhood. If love and support are missing in your childhood you don’t learn to handle your fears in a mature and stable way.
(I know I’m painting this picture with a very broad brush. It’s to point in the general direction of feelings as the most plausible and applicable answer to OPs question.)
