The Mob Mentality
In the early hours of November 10, 1938, Nazis attacked Jewish people and their property throughout Germany. “Kristallnacht” was a direct prelude to the Holocaust. Barbara Kay reminds us that how a nation treats its Jewish minority is a signal of the wellbeing of the broader polity, and warns against what she calls the “third wave of anti-Semitism.”

The French government’s attempt to ban an essay entitled I Hate Men over its “incitement to hatred” has sent sales of the feminist pamphlet skyrocketing. The book asks whether “anger towards men is actually a joyful and emancipatory path.” Barbary Kay explores the new gender contract in which women have rights without responsibility, and men have responsibilities without rights.

Like all major human belief systems, secularism produces prophets. The modern environmental movement, for example, is full of them, from Al Gore to David Suzuki. But prognosticating the-end-is-nigh is not every prophet’s schtick. Sometimes their gift is simply to identify a social pathology, diagnose its cause, and prescribe a remedy. Of course, lots of people – from street preachers to sociologists – do this all the time. It only becomes prophecy when masses of people embrace the diagnosis and prescription and make it their own. And by this measure, writes Barbara Kay, the world’s newest and hottest prophet is Canada’s own Jordan Peterson.

Neighbors were shocked when a Nova Scotia woman was killed by one of her two pet pit-bulls. They assumed it would have been a second pit-bull that was considered even more threatening. Barbara Kay argues that Canada needs to outlaw this particular breed of terrier, a dog that in the U.S. is responsible for a human death every 14 days.

Coronavirus isolation has caused an upsurge of video-based dating. You and your new virtual partner are encouraged to become “players” rather than mere conversationalists. It’s a pathetic denouement to 100 years of Sexual Revolution. Barbara Kay looks back on the 20th Century’s “orgasmic utopians,” a motley crew of social scientists who believed breaking sexual taboos delivered human happiness.
