WW1 doesn't really have a "good guys, bad guys" story that follows the battle lines and the Axis was actively bankrolled by major capitalists prior to WW2, along with Germany being given permission to grow their Navy, take over Czechoslovakia, etc.

You are correct that hate must be stamped out, but it must be remembered that the cause of WW2 was fundamentally that -- while there were substantial political differences between Germany and the western Allies which made their conflict inevitable -- the nazi infestation was left to fester like it was because there was a huge amount of ideological agreement between those two camps.

Quick, who said the following:

I think we shall have to take the Chinese in hand and regulate them. I believe that as civilized nations become more powerful they will get more ruthless, and the time will come when the world will impatiently bear the existence of great barbaric nations who may at any time arm themselves and menace civilized nations. I believe in the ultimate partition of China—I mean ultimate. I hope we shall not have to do it in our day. The Aryan stock is bound to triumph.

Fully agreed. If you tolerate or ignore hate, you give it agency, and with agency it has a way of spreading.
