"The Policing of Opinion Is Now Established Practice in Societies That Believe Themselves to Be Freer Than They Have Ever Been"

"Yet the belief persists that a new society will appear once we have been stripped of our historic identities, and switched to a system in which all are deemed different and yet somehow the same. In this view, all identities are equal in being cultural constructions. In practice some identities are more equal than others. Those of practitioners of historic nationalities and religions, for example, are marked out for deconstruction, while those of ethnic and sexual minorities that have been or are being oppressed are valorized."

John Gray at The Times Literary Supplement criticizes "hyper-liberals."
