tldr version of the original post would be: perspective, perspective, perspective. Do you think that Pike attitude toward grounders was "irrational excessive hatred" or inline with his experience, which was vastly different than what we experience with the 100 in previous seasons.

Also keep in mind that despite Pike experience, initially he was willing to trust Kane, and he certainly reacted to Indra FAR better than how she reacted to the Arkers in S2A.

An argument could be made that Clarke judgement was clouded in dealing with MW. That she was irrationally mistrustful and hostile towards MW before knowing anything about them. Then she went blindly on a all-in one in million chance mission, because she thought it to be the only way to save her people.. She was willing to sacrifice her people in the process, and despite the mandatory they aren't all bad speech, when it came down to us or them she pulled the lever.

Anyway, why do you think it was hatred that motivated him?
