Society has witnessed with anger and now dismay the consolidating influence of something which people have persistently failed to name. Sensing the singular character of some dynamic force, whose forms of expression seem so disparate, people now fear, or else suffer consciously, the destructive effects of a sort of malevolent presence, still unnamed and still unchallenged. For most of this century the perceived enemy were called communists etc. until the notion of some brilliantly coordinated international cabal became just too thin for credibility.

Even so, people do notice recurring signatures of language, mood and behaviour in the myriad “dissent,” “non-violent” and “radical” movements, and suspect them instantly.

What are those leftists or radicals? What connection is there between dirty mouthed teachers pressing for “women’s” and “peace” studies, and whites carrying “aboriginal” land claims? between a militant dole bludger defacing bill boards, and a High Court judge ruling for “environmentalists” that treaty obligations extend Commonwealth powers? between those who agitated for “public” participation in government, and those now creating empty “jobs” to the exclusion of productive work? between antagonists of Sir John Kerr, our first political exile, and the pushers of “affirmative action”? between Amnesty, the unemployed workers union, “community” radio, the World Council of Churches and Friends of the Earth? between the Socialist Left and the Australian Democrats?

What makes people assume that proponents of women’s and animals’ rights, the “abolition of political police”, multiculturalism, centralised wage fixing, no-fault divorce, “quality” children’s television or Fretelin are also opponents of capital punishment, “racism,” censorship, Pine Gap, the Monarchy, the flag, and multinationals, plus the uranium, sugar and tobacco industries, and beauty contests!?

What connects the Human Rights Commission and the Equal Opportunity Board with those wretched, lost remnants of human beings with no place to go when a demo winds down?

Birds of a feather? What feather? What is the nature of that nagging commonality? To call them communists is desperate, and there is no effective conspiracy.

The common denominator is rejection of the real, of what is, plus an enveloping sense of life’s ugliness and the vileness of humanity.

The common dynamic is energised hate - hatred of the self, hatred of humanity and fear then hatred of life itself.

The common intention is degradation and destruction throughout the hated society - a seething determination to render human life a living Hell, literally and as completely as possible.

The real object of people’s outrage, now turned to fright because those expected to would not stop it, is a singular phenomenon. The identity of our destroyer is the mentality of Hate.

The nurture experience of most people results in fundamental love orientation with the self and life. It can, however, be so traumatic as to result in hate orientation - an unwinnable conflict between instilled antagonism on the one hand toward reality, and one’s constant nature on the other.

The impossible quest to reject or escape reality by demanding the unreal, the quest to reconcile the instilled impetus to hate with the natural craving to love remains so urgent that it can generate sustained, fanatical energy.

Because silent majorities are preoccupied with making a living, and merely seek the social norms to conform to, the vast effort of a minuscule minority of perverts can initiate fashion, and has in fact created the mirage of an overwhelming tide of thought, inventing the language and the apparent moral standards of our age.

One signature of the mentality of Hate is a stridently righteous tone. However, its moralising involves no clash of ethics because it does not reflect any moral code. It actually expresses malice and is rather the sound of antimorality - the precise inversion, the exact opposite of basic human morality which reflects our will to sustain life worth living.

For instance, the manly virtues we so keenly miss are re-created as vices - authoritarianism, paternalism, sexism, elitism, chauvinism, egotism and ambition. If a thing is a bent, degraded parasite, and ugly, the mentality of Hate subsidises and promotes it; if it is straight, strong and creative, it taxes, slanders and persecutes it because it is intent on defacing those images of beauty which human beings yearn to see in life, because human beings love life.

Nor is the mentality of Hate moved by reason because it is not an expression of logical thought but a function of impelled emotion. To debate with it is to honour its convulsions as thought, to imply that it can be persuaded which it cannot. To argue, even to disagree with it is to confer the status and facade of rational normalcy - to veil its energised malice. To work in association with the left establishment is to contribute by compromise to the accumulation of circumstances toward the diabolical.

To object that the programs and direction of the left wing mentality are illogical and lack sense is to miss the point of them which is destruction, precisely. It is this malevolent intention which is so hard to credit because it is so perverse, but in that mad light the thrust of its agitation is eminently logical.

The only power of the mentality of Hate is the impotence of its victim; it has no power of its own. Guilt leeches men’s strength and the mist of Hate is enveloping our society because men (not women) are allowing it to. (Women can only live with what is prevailing.)

We live in an age in which men doubt or reject their nature and the power defined by it. It is men, the dynamic of societies, who are immersed in self doubt or self hatred, either unable to distinguish between duty and sin, or insisting they have no innate duties, either unsure that they are worthy, or refusing to shoulder the responsibilities of men which are to protect, nurture and guide family, subordinates and nation.

Men do know their duties but lack the resolve to observe and discharge them. When the mentality of Hate hurls its antimorality at the establishment in tones that sound like indignation, men assume their own turpitude and shrink, only to feed the fury of the pervert who, in reality, also craves the fostering presence of the prodigal father, and smashes ever more of our social fabric in ever more desperate attempts to cause authority to assert itself. When men vacate their power there is Hate.

Though people detest the left establishment, their disdain for guilt-crippled men actually assists it in sustaining the impression of its immense influence. As men betray the duties dictated by their nature, the suffering of their dependents - their parents, their women, their children and other men intensifies toward the excruciating.

Universally, weak men are objects of contempt who forego support they may otherwise warrant, especially nowadays when the mentality of Hate sets upon them. It is their guilt-induced impotence which invites the tacit condemnation because it causes such human suffering.

So it is, for instance, that politicians and corporations jeopardise their positions immeasurably when they display guilt, the presence of which people are quick to perceive.

Another factor aiding the mentality of Hate’s intent is what may be called the Poseidon Adventure syndrome. It is the welling fear that one’s entire world is destructing.

This is manifested in irrational concern with, for instance, asbestos, 245T, causes of cancer, uranium, AIDS, the pollutions, the ozone layer or even the Crown-of-Thorns star fish, and denotes in reality the collapse of social institutions, the first and most basic of which is masculine self respect - the foundation stone of the family.

Humanity is a family creature intrinsically dependent on the stable blood milieu for our nurture, for the fulfillment of our need to embrace existence in quietude.

So critical is the family to the development of personality able to feel and express our unique humanity that the mentality of Hate is determined to smash it - to reduce us to the status of disposable objects to be manipulated, measured, allocated, used, worked, bred and maybe even put into competitions, but above all to suffer.

As the sense an assumption of human dignity withers and is eroded by the mentality of Hate, psychological preconditions are almost set for the imposition of terror - terror to maintain the anti-human institutions of the alienated authoritarian state, that society in which people at large regard their own government as the feared enemy.

Because people shun the left establishment it simply ignores the popular will while draining the institutions of popular government. Its instruments are principally the arms of government which, due to their committee-directed structure, can be manoeuvred by a few virulent fanatics into accommodating and then implementing even what human beings reject as deathly.

Confident that humanity is despicable, the mentality of Hate relies on men to degrade themselves principally by enticement into adopting its antimorality as the societal norm, the main tenet of which is that men have no responsibilities (but whose veiled converse is that they are not responsible); secondly by enticement into releasing dependents from their protection into the faceless, heartless charity of the regime of humiliation and loneliness presently called the welfare state.

However, if men will not degrade themselves then they must be degraded. If they will not concede their own guilt by their own standards, they are marked for legal guilt.

Normally, law and morality observe one another, but the mentality of Hate is concerned to bind the people’s hands and feet with laws, then laws which import no transgression of our morals, and laws which incense or even outrage them, all to invite the breaking. When men can be convicted of legal guilt they can be dealt with.

Like cancer cells dormant in any healthy body, the mentality of Hate has existed in all bodies politic. Its carriers were once probably burned, banished or ignored. But in ours we have acquired an immune deficiency syndrome: We will not defend ourselves so the cancer is malignant and racing.

Though “kingdoms rise and fall,” this time we have the technology, but not quite yet the psychology to have those freedoms suppressed which make life worth living. Our cousins, the people of Russia, have known the debilitating terror and the staying power of Hate-driven government these seven decades. That superpower cannot even properly feed itself, so shackled is the human spirit. Our age continues to darken. To limply wait for “the pendulum to swing back” will deliver generations into an anguished societal madhouse which people will suffer in the immediacy of their daily lives until they die. Because the mentality of Hate is neither moral nor rational, men must either submit to it or suppress it.
