The freedom to hate is part of what makes us human, and what makes us free, and therefore “without Contraries is no progression” – which is why those places most advanced toward Zach Traynor’s utopia (American college campuses, say) seem most stagnant. I wouldn’t necessarily want to argue that Jian Ghomeshi, the impeccably liberal, progressive CBC radio host of plonkingly correct attitudes Tweeting out his support for #EndViolenceAgainstWomenDay all year long while cheerfully punching their lights out in his apartment every night, is a testament to the strain of living under such a regime, but the strange, increasingly vicious urge to ban, silence, forbid, exile, obliterate even the mildest disagreeement that now characterizes “liberal” institutions such as the academy suggests that the formal proscription of “hate” only leads it to find other outlets. The world Traynor’s generation is ushering in will be be bloodier than one of Mr Ghomeshi’s dates.
