A social movement convinces people to hate less and be kind to each other more. Parasites come to exist, taking advantage of kindness to manipulate, control, and abuse. Is this inevitable?
A human instinct to feel uncomfortable about only taking kindness and never returning it might prevent parasitical behavior. However, this instinct can be subverted by deep social divisions: if the parasite regards the host with tremendous contempt, then he or she can justify continuing taking and never giving forever. There is a Catch-22 here of course: the purpose of the social movement might have been to repair these social divisions. It is perhaps a picture of social evolution: society -- its social divisions -- evolves to protect itself, to maintain the status quo, even from onslaughts of kindness.
Improvements in technology could make a kindness policy of "Trust, but verify" more practical.
