- There is a war on the West. It is being fought by Western revolutionaries aimed at destroying our civilisation, and our past. It is a war we can and will win. To discuss his book, The War on The West, Douglas Murray joins Steven Edginton in the latest Off Script podcast. Watch the full episode above or listen on your podcast app by searching “Off Script”.

What gets me is that the anti-West people get to complain about western society from the COMFORT of western society. Let's see them do THAT while in the 'utopia' of North Korea.
Well said!
What other culture than the west has this self-critical awarenes? -They are the barbarians inside the gate!
That is the dumbest Straw Man I've seen in ages.
This quote pretty much sums it up for me: “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”
@@quickfeed7592- Well said...who is that from?
I couldn’t feel any less guilty for being part of this civilization. I love my ancestors, I love our history, I love myself. We are nothing less than great. Long live Douglas Murray.
Guilt level on zero.
Amen
Egypt needs to pay reparations to Israel for making them build pyramids & stuff 3500+ years ago. We need a new combination historical and geneological bureau to help find wrongs in the past to "repair". This will result in literally everyone having a claim on multiple people, and whole races, for millions of dollars. Then we can all start paying each other back for what people long dead have done to "us".
If we're going to do this, I say let's make it thorough, complete, rigorous, and honest to the bone. It will also turn out that black people owe white people much more than the other way around, and they'll also owe each other, because they enslaved and sold each other more so than white people did.
So the best way to handle this is in a sort of "aikido " way - instead of wait for the trouble makers to do it in their skewed & self-interested way, we should lead the charge and insist on going all the way and getting it right for EVERYONE, in all situations, countries, races and nationalities. We don't want to leave any stone unturned, any wrong uncompensated, or any person without their "just" recompense.
The answer to the Left's war of half-truths is always the FULL TRUTH.
I feel guilty for exporting gender ideology and the rainbow flag cult to parts of the world that never would have come up with it.
@@jessemockler616 Murray is a fantastic apologist for the corporate economic elite.
I stand 100% with Douglas Murray, his perspective and critical views are desperately needed in this sick woke BS we are currently living through.
What a well rounded number
I wish there was more people like Douglas Murray to speak up against this nonsense, and i wish more People in general would speak up.
Murray a dead end who offers nothing. Douglas Murray a Guru only for fools. An appalling little man.
Then be one of those people quit waiting for somebody else to step up because everybody's waiting for somebody else to step up and we're running out of time the longer we fail to deal with this the weaker we become
The silent majority must rise up and not be in fear of speaking out against this ludicrous ideology. Those who punish those who talk about this must also be highlighted and removed from power. This situation is beyond sustainable or acceptable.
@@mrfish4572Maxine waters, et al
I'm going to text something that might get me kicked off of TH-cam... Western Civilization is BETTER than all other civilizations... and here is proof, nearly all immigrants want to migrate to the West
As an Asian, I experienced more racism when I traveled back to Asia for two weeks than I did my entire 3 decades living in Canada and United States. There's a hierarchy in Asia: richest countries at the top like Japan, China, Singapore, then at the very bottom are Bangladesh, Philippines, and Myanmar.
The Philippines is the wife factory 😁
@@mr.raslyon6626 good for guys who want a wife and avoid the West.
I've been living in Canada for 13 years. Canada in many ways is a lie.
I'd imagine Cambodia is at the bottom also
China is the Apex of the Hierarchy because it is the Only Living Cradle of Civilization. Japan & Singapore cannot rival this.
I admire Douglas Murray’s courage in speaking the truth.
this is the truth... but his nonsense about isreal is cowardice nonsense... he's right ALOT but NOT about isreal, nor is Palestine both wrong
@@messybeavz4796 He is a journalist and a writer, not an omniscient wise man Maybe he's wrong about Israel and Palestine.
It's quite logical that he stands with Israel though. He defends the Judeo-Christian civilization in most of his books. Now the state of Israel is under attack, and the verbal belligerents are the same as his usual opponents: the radical leftists. From this point alone it would make sense.
But that's far from all! With this anti-Jewish sentiment, Jews are being attacked through the west by Muslims. And if the society as a whole sides with Palestine, it will be a signal for the other countries in the region that Israel is alone in that and that it has no allies.
Moreover, the hypocrisy of so many of those crying for Gaza is quite apparent as they don't show the same level of compassion to anyone else than Palestinians. The Armenians displaced by Azerbaijani recently? Uygurs in China being victims of (at least cultural) genocide? Syrian and Yemeni civil wars? They don't give a damn.
I hope Palestinians will have a better life soon. But it's not a great life under Hamas who does their best to fire their rockets from highly urbanized areas to increase the civilian losses in case of retaliation. Meanwhile the leaders of Hamas live abroad in abundance while regular Palestinians die in a war. Hamas doesn't care about their well-being. Hamas has one purpose and one purpose only: To remove Israel from the map. And the Jews with it, preferably. Is the war campaign a good solution? I don't know. Perhaps not. But is there any good solution proposed by the critics of Israel? I haven't seen a single one so far.
Douglas and Murray? Courage?
He's literally gae 😂
_"Speaking the truth"_
Something the _Haven't A Fuckin' Clue_ Idiots' parrot whenever they hear their prejudices.
Love this guy. I am from Poland and noticed something we would call the Polish-polish war, we tend to undermine our impact and achievements. We should be proud of our heritage as Europeans, as much as like Douglas said probably every Chinese or African is proud of theirs. Nothing wrong about a decent dose of conservatism, but the West thinks that everybody has to be left at the moment and tolerate every other culture in our own countries, ridiculous.
"Racism and narcissism" By Richard Grannon.
Type that in please.
polish war cep cepa cepem pogania
Yes, unfortunately he didn't say it, for me one of the reasons Poland can resist all this crap is because its conservative and values tradition.
africans arent proud of their neighborhoods lol they just long to ruin someone elses
Going into my 77th year all i can say is i am so pleased that we have Douglas Murray in the world. We need more like him. He says it exactly like it is.
we dont need more to talk about it, we need more to do something about it
Douglas never fails to impress with ability to produce such accurate analogies
He's an idiot, he clearly doesn't know anything about the Chauvin case, he's just listening to the mainstream media version of it, so he's basically as much of an NPC as the people that he's criticising.
Convenient analogies more like. Ask a Palestinian family if these analogies are so "accurate'. It depends on your bias of course. This is a disgusting slaughter to anyone with a modicum of objectivity.
100% on board with Douglas, I will not apologise for our Western culture either !
I've come to the conclusion if the United States gets any nuttier I'm moving to Scotland or maybe France. I'm Scottish in French and I speak French pretty well. I don't like Macron. I'm feisty like a Scott and I have a sense of humor.. I'm just so sick and tired of a lot in the United States. I used to really really love this country but the people on the far left are absolutely out of their mind and they're making our country look really bad.
Douglas Murry needs to be more critical in his assessment of what is reaally happening. The globalists are seeking to divide and conquer by causing outrage on both sides. They seek to harness the outrage towards achieving the goals of enslaving humanity once they succeed in implenting their communist agenda. It is well known that the democratic party in the US has been employing race based politics to win elections and also in isolating black people. The democratic party at its core is white supremacist. Remember that the democratic party is the party that owned slaves in the South and its is the party that created the KKK. The democrats were are also known to be the party of lynchings etc. The democrats even started abortion clinics in the US to primarily reduce the population of black.... These satanists, are known for hypocrisy, deception , double standards, projection, gaslighting and predation..Douglas Murry is part of the majority that have swallowed the race bait without thinking...Black people like Ibrahim Kendi are either not smart or are sold out...The number ONE enemy of BLM funded by the cabal is black people. Justin Trudeau wearing a black face was not an accident either

Unfortunately there are some real radical wackjobs in power in those countries too, it’s a poison affecting the entire west. It’s just felt more in the US because at least half of us refuse to capitulate to the woke crowd so that tension is going strong.

Watching from Germany. This guy is GREAT!!!!
Germany is sacred ground. My family were driven out of Bad Warmbrunn bei Hirschberg im Riesengebirge, Niederschlesien. I witnessed the cultural, and moral destruction of Germany, (and Europe), between 1970, and 1993.
@@kennylong7281 → Just so. I was born in Kempen, Niederrhein and raised in nearby Sankt Hubert in einem Kinderheim until age 12 when an American couple adopted me. Since then I've visited occasionally and found it to be less "German" each successive time. 4 years ago I made what I decided would be my last trip. Germany hardly exists anymore. We also visit my wife's family in the Nürnberg area and I'm sure all the people I met there have been liberals. They specifically HATE Trump and are tolerant of biden. Edit: btw, my biological parents as well as my wife were born in Ost Preußen (Memel und Heydekrug) and have a well documented lineage, so I know that no one in my family ever saw slavery.
Please abolish the EU.
Been listening to and reading Douglas's columns for years and he never disappoints. Truthful and wise - very rare qualities in journalists today sadly
He avoids talking about the elephant in the room, the population change, which is what is changing the culture. He talks only about the consequences, not about the causes. Empty, pointless talk
@@gdiwolverinemale2745 I think this is the case for most people trying to get a message out there as they don't seem able to say it exactly how it is until given the red light .

That's why he doesn't get a platform, he isn't controlled opposition
Absolutely
Here Here
U SAID IT RIGHT
One proud Brit here. Britain has had a great influence on the world.
Incredible discussion! As someone from Eastern Europe who studied in London, I’ve always wondered about the processes described by Mr Murray and what the silent conservatives (traditionalists?) in the West thought about it. We can all see it happening before our eyes, but very few people dare discuss it the way these two gentlemen have. I think I’m buying his book!
th-cam.com/video/cUW2SLz6_dk/w-d-xo.html
He is not what he seems. He never mentions the corruption of capitalism. Never mentions the encroachment of the Israels into the west bank. Always choose to talk about his own agenda
Mr Murray is a national treasure well done sir
Douglas is such a pleasure to listen to and a reassuring voice of reason in a world that's gone temporarily mad
Unfortunately, I don’t think it is temporary. Read the book, ‘Art of War’. They are playing it out too a “T”. The real powers that be are not friends of humanity. Their culling of mankind will continue in even more hideous ways.
Absolutely
Hopefully it is only temporary
Let's hope it's temporarily. I'm honestly starting to fear, that our society (I'm from Amsterdam, Holland) has changed forgood. Which is of course inherent to societies as a whole.
The problem right now is: it's going too fast.
We seem all to have stepped aboard, some time ago, on a raging train with nobody at the wheel that's still speeding up.
It's when democracy gets so good, it turns in on itself. We're seeing it right now in protests around the world. I just hope it's not irreversible
Great stuff Douglas. Please please run for office, we need strength now. This really is the 11th hour for this country.!
Douglas Murray is always a pleasure to listen to. He articulates his arguments so well, and makes points well worth listening to. I'm glad to hear that he joined us here in the US.
like this? th-cam.com/video/cUW2SLz6_dk/w-d-xo.html
Our loss (Britain) your gain (US). Douglas is a huge asset for Conservatism and against the left and their woke agenda. I love to hear him.
He also has courage which the left (which I’ve always been a part of) sadly lacks

Yes he’s the best by a mile
I agree! He politely challenges also.
Agreed, despite his youth he is top quality.
This guy is an absolute genius, lays things out so perfectly.
I like Douglas, but I think he's missing this one. He is thinking in a binary fashion. Either the Progressives are going to win or the conservatives, but he is competely ignoring the most likely outcome, conquest by a totalitarian regime. That is, violence will ultimately decide and Progressives, or simply a group taking advantage of the idiocy of the Progressives, will sieze power using the police and the military.
Think of Stalin or Mao.
Douglas is a hugely decent and honest man
Thank God someone with some visibility has the guts to talk about the truth of what’s going on in Europe, US, Canada and that’s a take over off country & culture! I haven’t read Douglass’s book, but I intend to! And also buy a few extra of his books to give to the mentality dense and the liberal left.

Skin colour is immaterial to Douglas. Like the rest of us he probably has many black friends.
His beef is with invasive cultures and religion and one religion in particular.
Douglas Murray is the best.
So simple and so spot on, we need to move and protect our way of life before it is too late
conservatives have been winning for the last ten thousand years, because they lie cheat and murder their way into power.
I must admit that I have gotten more and more distressed by this anti western madness. And moreover and to my concern these developments make me more and more aggressive to the point of endorsing violence as a form of self-defence which may be very dangerous and self destructing. But in the end civil war has not been uncommon in history and one has to acknowledge this unconveniant fact that solutions in history have been achieved by violent means.
The self-hatred of my fellow Canadians is distressing. My people fled the Reformation in 1652. They had no slaves, they lived and died on this harsh land and carved out a meager existence fishing cod, far from the city. I apologize for NOTHING.
I’m with Douglas and another hero, no surrender, ever:
“Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty-never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.”
Winston Churchill
It depends on what that "never surrender" entails for the rest of the world apart from the one "not surrendering" does it?
Black Alliance for Peace echoes this thought: "no compromise, no retreat". I suggest we embrace it.
Ill die on the no apology hill. Even if im wrong, I thought i was right at the time so.....blow me.

Great discussion. Love to see Douglas as he brings in some sanity to our world. If we learn nothing from our past mistakes we will repeat the same.
Hello from America Douglas is brilliant. I never tire of listening to him and always learn something. I agree there is this anti-western sentiment and it’s troubling and seems to be affecting the youth culture. Many of these people don’t seem to have a good grasp of history.
At the end, he made the point I've been making for years, that social movements are the new religion. Very small numbers of younger people participate in organized religion, and the movements are a way of belonging, a common cause, a group think, and a crutch for the allegedly disenfranchised.
internet-distributed dross filling the voids in the heads of naive people with no hope who are being persuaded they are personally responsible for things which happened 200 years ago
It's great to see this conversation going mainstream.
Is it mainstream? Honestly I wouldn't know.
@@Ann-qf5vk who would know what i meant a year ago. Might be that a few years ago this stuff was spoken of by so called conspiracy theorist or whatever, where as now it's spoken about more in the open.
Douglas is right. This has been going on for decades. Among college graduates and more intensively among the graduate student class, anti-Westernism is reflexive.

Isn’t it the same mass psychopathology, as what I and my people experience as Jews and Israeli’s for ages till this time from all parts of the Globe, including its Western part?
The correct plural of Israeli is in fact Israelis (I suppose a case could be made for it being Israelii, but we're stuck with Israelis by common usage).
How delightful to listen to Douglas Murray! He has articulated the reason for my extreme unease as I watch and listen to “Woke” diatribes and other current nonsense. Reason and understanding of our historical past based on fact rather than historical fantasy matters!
It's a tragedy that Christopher Hitchens is not around anymore. His insight on these topics would have been valuable and fascinating too. However, in Hitchens' absence, Douglas Murray is the next best thing - I see him as our new Hitchens and he's just as valuable a commentator in my opinion. Such a clear and honest thinker. Great sense of humour too.
His books are amazing. But I think conservatives will lose because they elect weak, feeble politicians who don’t believe in anything except DEI and climate change.
How have I never heard of this guy before. He's brilliant. Makes sense with everything he says.

I agree I am A PROUD AMERICAN . MY FAMILY WAS POOR . MY GRANDMOTHER SCRUBBED FLOORS IN A BAKERY TO GET BREAD TO FEED HER FAMILY .
Likewise, the whole note that all White people are privileged preposterous, as is the notion that all people are oppressed.
In Denmark my granddad was sent far from home to work at 11 - or maybe it was 8... Wiiide priv.!!!
Many can agree. I am 4tg generation American on one side and 5th on the other. It took 4 generations for my parents to get to college and get out of poverty. Now by the 2nd generation immigrants can become financially successful. Why should I have to give away what my parents worked so hard for?
@@spadelives2 White peeps are - just like everybody else is. Living in the western culture in the 21 century, is about as priv, as any group or individual has ever been.
@@georgewagner7787 Agreed, while it is true that minorities faced abhorrent discrimination, it is a fallacy to assume that white people did not (e.g. Irish, Italians, Jews, etc.) or that they somehow achieved a "privileged" position on the backs of minorities. The vast majority struggled with poverty (my family too) and only improved their situation through generations of hard work. The fact that it was even possible to improve their situation at all is what makes Western civilization truly exceptional.
“Utopia is a childish dream “Well said Doug !
Didn't expect Douglas here, but I always appreciate the man's perspective
'Diversity' as it's understood these days is in fact a major weakness. Social cohesiveness is what allows human societies to achieve stability, and we understand this at an instinctive level. By blindly promoting 'diversity,' we're fractionating Western societies to the breaking point.
but what u describe becomes inevitably where complacency follows naturally on civilisational stability and a stuffed full supermarket
@@DrBe-zn5fv Social cohesiveness is always relative. If members of a society are of the same race, they'll find religious differences to separate them. If they are of the same religion they'll find little wrinkles of difference in scriptural interpretation to divide them. The history of Africa or of Europe is a testament to this. The rule of thumb, however, is that the more obvious the differences are (such as physical appearance) the more unmanageable they are. So good luck with multiracial societies (as the history of the USA teaches us all).
"Diversity" is just the Left's way of saying "anti-white."
Well said
The world is diverse, even amongst white groups diversity is broad . From Russia, Sweden, uk , America Georgia. I love the fact London has a mix of cultures . I agree with some of Douglas's comments but he seems to take extreme positions. America had a functioning kkk up to the 1970s , now they talk about the great replacement amongst white conservatives. The uk and the usa will always be run by white people.
Fantastic interview, and a really skillful host. Douglas Murray is brilliant, in my opinion. His book The War on the West is so thorough, insightful, entertaining and a delight to read. The man knows what he's talking about, and can articulate so very well.
So true! Douglas Murray speaks for so many.
Ekaterina T - Yes! When i find comments against him, they offer no particular critique...only foot stamping and squeeling. "How dare he defend himself and his culture?"

How ignorant!
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” ~ Taylor Caldwell, A Pillar of Iron
Its happening here in New Zealand too
Strange they say it's such a bad place but thousands want to live here🙄
Bingo!
Douglas Murray is a blessing to the world.
That is subjective.
26 Dec 2023. The brilliance of Douglas, his insightfulness,logic, reason, reasonableness, commonsense and fairness continually impresses and humbles me. He is truly a magnificent lighthouse/ canary in the coal mine for society, morality and justice.
It's never been about understanding it's about tearing down
Absolutely right. The sickness of the left is about destruction, nothing else! They are incapable of creating and building, so are attempting to destroy what we value! It is a totally backward and rather depraved movement!!
Murray is the only person I've actually heard use the term "risible" since Pilate. Love it!
Monty python
We say this word in French to say laughable.
@@sueevans7031 Bingo! 👍 Life of Brian
Murray is risible.
Come on then, deride him. Let's hear some good solid argument of derision to prove your assertion of his risibility. Waiting.
This is a good "episode." I thoroughly enjoy Douglas Murray speaking. He's obviously quite bright, with a wide understanding of our history, he has built a strong character & thankfully that all benefits him with the ability to stand firm, speak the truth & be brave in a time that I now realize many humans are simply lacking a strong spine (or brain)! God bless this man & all those who know white guilt is beyond silly!!!
No, he’s just a common reactionary complaining about the wrong things again. The man is a fool.
All this feminist rubbish is weakening masculine traits in men making our society weak wet immoral etc etc. the balance against natures design is destructive. The main thing is “ balance”.
Quite bright! Incredibly bright, in fact genius.

Douglas Murray, gives me great pride, and appreciation for the name Douglas. I am gifted with my middle name Douglas, given to me by my late father..Douglas Thomas Henderson Russell. My father was Scotish , experienced the 2nd world war in North Africa & Italy fought for freedom of the West. He called a spade a spade, Douglas Murray says it like it is, stands up for those that wish harm on the West..who flock to the West, and run away from Authoritarian societies. Shame will come on the mis-fits living in the West. They will inherit what they Sow.
Fantastic critical analysis by Murray, great questions by the interviewer. Very much enjoyed this segment.
Douglas Murray is not a smooth speaker, like, say, Michael Knowles is, but there's a reason why Murray's latest book is a best seller. Murray is extremely intelligent, and he's also a great writer. His works are very readable.
I admire the fact that Murray is working out his thoughts aloud, and checking his own words for errors. I prefer that to smooth speakers.
@@HydraulicJack Indeed. Murray is more authentic.
intelligence does not mean correct. Intelligence does not mean morally good. Intelligence means nothing. Murray's intelligence is like Darth Vader's intelligence. It's like Dr Josef Goebbels' intelligence. It means nothing at all. And being able to write well does not make his risible ideas correct either.
murray is not smooth as silk is not smooth.
@@patricblake6875 stop crying
Douglas murray,,one of the most important thinkers of our time
Name 10 others! Is DM the best or 10th?
Watching TH-cam videos without critical thinking is not a thinker. It’s blindly locking yourself in your own bias.
I am Anglo Greek of wider mixed race family and living in Bulgaria these 7 yrs after retiring fron NHS mental health professional career.
I can tell u what a delight it is to live in a normal society again with normal people. And yes there are black people here living quite happily including good neighbours . It is as Douglas says, plus there is an orthodox Christian tradition that most hold to in its broader context as well as a native Islamic minority. We all get on perfectly.
Visiting UK last November i did not know it any more and could not wait to leave.
Murray is brilliant in thought, but also so pleasantly well spoken, not to mention the masterful formulation. To me he is, in that league with J.B. Peterson, as a well formulated spokesman for a progressive conservative perspective. Also, a very good interview in itself.
Douglas is far more direct than Jordan Peters on and Douglas has brilliant humour as well! Jordan often waffles on, and interrupts others without fully listening to them! He is wise, but he is annoying sometimes, as he seems to think his voice is the only one that matters, it isn't though!!
I’m glad people are speaking up against this one-sided critique of western civilization without the ability to make the counterargument.
Sure, but the people speaking out are the same ones who have been already speaking out for years. There's already been work put in that will allow this to continue for generations. I've got a gaggle of nieces aged 10 to 20 years old and they all share this overall negative view of the West, as well as an unhealthy interest in gender/identity.

@@gammasmash1924 How sad. The "education system" has indoctrinated them.
What is Western Civilization?
@@oldbeergangster2381 problem is, powers that be are ruining Education for Gen Z so theyre fully indoctrinated/brainwashed towards a Woke nonsense socialist/CHinese govt CeeCeePee (& Rockerfeller Foundation, Rothchilds, etc.) agenda
Douglas Murray is on point and intelligent as usual. I always like to watch him talking about all that happens these days in the west.
and in Ukraine? th-cam.com/video/cUW2SLz6_dk/w-d-xo.html
I love Douglas Murray I wish I could hear more from him
Douglas Murray is on TH-cam and has many books written by him.
I watched this on the day that Queen Elizabeth II died - the symbol of modern Western Civilization for almost my entire life. She is absoluately irreplaceable.
Thomas Sowell’s book, “black rednecks white liberals” is a must read. He is an authoritative voice and well respected.
Thomas Sowell is an incredibly powerful voice right now. His research and knowledge as well as his refreshing takes on history and it's relation to modern politics is fantastic.
@@zagorith14 cringe😂
@@porkypig1772 I said the same thing after finding out that Sowell is jewish
This was the best interview I've so far seen of DM about his book. Well done. Regarding Peter Hitchens, I can understand his pessimism because he's been a voice warning about this for so many years.
The pessimism of Hitchens springs from confronting reality. In the end this is not an “argument” that will be settled rationally. It is demographic warfare waged upon the native British. 1 million foreigners are imported to the UK every year. They have already displaced the English from London and the rest will follow suit until the English are a despised minority in their own country.
We need more voices of reason like Douglas Murray.
Love to listen to Murray! Always learn something new.
