Riccardo Manzotti's 'Un senso all’odio' on Doppiozero
Riccardo Manzotti's article 'Un senso all’odio' is published on Doppiozero. The piece argues that inclusive goodwill, which demands acceptance of others' values without allowing genuine love for one's own, amounts to existential suicide and betrays the foundational principle of liberal society: freedom of thought and speech. Manzotti contends that while society should permit diversity, it must not impose a perpetual numbness that forbids feelings of repulsion toward opposing values. He emphasizes that such feelings should not translate into harmful actions, but suppressing them or their expression violates both freedom of thought and speech, and is also impractical.
