Collin May: Hearts of Darkness: How the Left Uses Hate to Fuel its 21st Century Universal Imperium

For years now the Left has shown itself eager to claim hatred as the motive for anyone who opposes its worldview. This impulse has become a poisonous social force – elevating identity politics, quashing freedom, driving cancel culture and threatening the very foundation of Western liberal democracy. But where did it come from? Collin May, a former Chair of the Alberta Human Rights Commission who himself experienced cancellation, explores the deep origins in this thoughtful and wide-ranging essay. From Ancient philosophers and early theologians through Renaissance scholars and fashionable modern intellectuals, May traces this dark pathology’s evolution and explains why it’s so dangerous.
