In the wake of Iraq, the 2008 crash, and China rising, the focus has become the ‘other’ - from the alleged essential violence of Islam, to immigrant barbarism, to the return of eugenic assessment of indigenous people. Where did this ‘new hate’ come from? And why has the ‘respectableRight’ been so silent about it?
