Everything is turned back to front. Public order is no longer maintained by hierarchy, repression and strict regulation, and therefore is no longer subverted by liberating acts of transgression. Instead, we have social relations of free and equal individuals, supplemented by ‘passionate attachment’ (Judith Butler) to an extreme form of submission, which functions as the ‘dirty secret,’ the transgressive source of libidinal satisfaction. In a permissive society, the rigidly codified, authoritarian master/slave relationship becomes transgressive. This paradox or reversal is the proper topic of psychoanalysis.
Tolerance makes everything boring, we need more conflict!
