This paper sets out a critical perspective that cohesively explains why hate happens in late modernity and its impact on the lived experience of victims. The paper challenges existing theoretical accounts of hate by presenting a psycho-social approach to subjectivity that acknowledges the impact of neoliberal capitalism on the lived experience. By doing so, the paper is able to account for the extremities of hate in society and its apparent normalcy. In conclusion, the paper argues that an interrogation of the extent of the harms of hate should be framed within a positive discourse wherein the human need to flourish, rather than survive, is recognised.

本文提出了一个批判性的观点，它一致地解释了为什么仇恨会发生在现代晚期及其对受害者生活经历的影响。该论文通过提出一种承认新自由主义资本主义对生活经验的影响的心理社会方法来挑战现有的仇恨理论解释。通过这样做，该论文能够解释社会中仇恨的极端及其明显的常态。总之，该论文认为，对仇恨危害程度的审问应该在一种积极的话语中进行，在这种话语中，人类需要蓬勃发展，而不是生存，这一点得到了承认。
