He wants hate, he does not care who or why, the more hate we have for one another, the more the world feels like it is on fire! When hate not love is our motivation our justice is flawed, our laws are flawed, our peace is polluted, and we are constantly angry and mad. There is no peace while we are living under hate, the fruit of our lives will always be on the edge of strife. Non-stop hate is a breeding ground that leads to riots and murder.
From Galatians
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Easier said than done, but I agree.
@KellyJay saidGod wants hate too. God hates certain things and Im pretty sure God would like us to follow his lead:

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look,
a lying tongue, and
hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and
he that soweth discord among brethren.
(Proverbs 6:16-19 KJV)
Satan wants people to love the things that God hates.

@KellyJay saidIs "walking by the Spirit" accomplished by just saying you're walking in the Spirit, or is it accomplishment by actually walking in the Spirit?

You spend your time lionizing those who talk, instead of those who walk.
@Rajk999 saidAnd humans seem amazingly bad at discerning who is doing these things and who is not.

Especially those who talk without walking.
@Suzianne saidThe fruit of the Spirit is what we are to look for, is your life filled with love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, or do you find instead things like hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy? I'm not sure what you mean by I spend my time lionizing those who talk instead of walking...you seen the way anyone here actually walks in their life or do you assume you know?

As far as fruits, I don't see those much here.
Again, lots of talking, not much walking.
@Suzianne saidCan you tell when you are actually loving someone you have every justification to hate, or hate someone you really don’t know at all?
