Thank god we have Douglas Murray and others like him, he is such a genius and has a way with words and explaining things. Well done Douglas, I must buy this book, his other books are brilliant as well.
The classical liberal will tell you there is a war on White people but will never have a solution outside of "everyone just needs more classical liberalism" they will gate keep against people who have actual solutions because you know, we cannot be illiberal and have illiberal solutions because we gotta keep the crazies and Nazi's out. People like Douglas are more of a problem than they'll ever be a solution
Contrary to Douglass's claim that colonialism is taught in schools. Nick Gibb the school minister in 2021 rejected compulsory lessons about the Empire and the slave trade by claiming they would risk lowering “standards”.

Yes he is!!! This is coming from a man that's gay. He grew up with prejudice. He could have chose to revel in the minority. But, he hasn't. He stands for the good and I completely respect him, even more so, because of that! !!
He's not _quite_ calling it like it is. The fact that he believes that (a), Bin Laden was responsible for 9/11 and (b), Putin deployed a chemical weapon, Novichok, in Salisbury exposes his confirmation bias. The _fact_ is, a man whom believes such things cannot possibly correctly identity the enemies of humanity with any accuracy; he thinks that the _actual_ enemy is a friend! A complacent and apathetic population - Check! Contempt for the ruling class - Check! Indoctrination with Marxist ideology on an industrial scale - Check! A World War - ??? A global pandemic - Check! A Bolshevik coup - ??? It looks to me as though we are heading toward 1917 but on a Global scale and _that_ should send a shiver down the collective spine of humanity. And _that_ is the war we must prepare for. If our generation fail to prevent this then humanity could be plunged into a Dark-age from which it may take centuries to emerge.

To be proud to British means that we would have to be exclusive in our identity, that is ethno nationalism. It wasn't new Britons who stopped slavery, it was ethnic native Britons. Douglas would be the first to shut you down if you did that because it's not very liberal. People like Douglas will tell you that White people are under attack but will be the first to denounce anyone with illiberal solutions to stop what's happening.

@Richard Humby - Absolutely not! What a foolish notion! I would never wish that on Douglas Murray. Let him continue to do what he does best - write brilliant and insightful books.
it'd provoke the same predictable response that he's a far right despicable racist . He's grudgingly allowed to reclaim criticism of certain gay issues as he himself is a gay man. Only wish he was a Douglas of colour to silence some of the white noise.
Douglas Murray is a blessing. Compassion, clarity of thought, and a deep desire to end the madness of our time. If we get through this madness and come out the other side, able to see each other as full human beings, not just a collection of identity labels that prove our guilt or innocence, Murray can consider himself a major part of that achievement. The War On The West is a Superb new book, as expected. Thank you Mr Murray

I re-read Orwell's Road to Wigan Pier recently. I revisited lectures given by both Christopher Hitchens and Peterson on Orwell. I read Paul Embry's book "Despised: Why the modern left loathe the working class". Again Embry's arguments were similar to those from nearly 90 years ago. I can't help but think that this is a recurring or even concurrent theme.

Pip Pip!! I agreed with everything he said... Love this guy! My white family of the past had horrendous life's and when I hear all this stuff about white privilege it sickens me deeply. And all the other rubbish that's going on... Even our soldiers that fought in most of the wars were conscripted in or banged on the head and dragged in or joined rather than starve to death...
Douglas is currently our greatest living academic Britain right now. He is exceptionally intelligent, truthful, insightful and most of all...always 100% correct
Excellent interview, excellent book. Every western schoolkid should be taught the facts and the messages it contains. Or our children will suffer the consequences as the minority hate-mongers among us dictate (yes I know the inferences that word carries) a 1984 future they will all hate.
I would suggest starting by listening to some of James Lindsay’s podcasts. He offers explanations into identifying wokeness and crt and he’s also got some very interesting interviews as well. Also there are foundations and groups dedicated to the fight against the cancel “culture” and wokery
Excellent discussion. Thank you. In some ways the war needs to be on criticising, negativity, arrogance and pulling apart. If people could dwell on the good and their responsibility to improve the lives of people around them and their communities it would be better!

@@theviewfinder8923 Intersting. I would love to also see who exactly douglas is speaking of, which people are fighting this war and what their arguments are.
@@MrPerfect-mo1xr I haven't got the time to the educate you,,,but in all sincerity I recommend that you give urself an iron man argument,,,yiu should read Adams smiths wealth of nations Solzhenitsyn gulag archipelago and tom sowell truths about slavery ,,,,, a instead of just making shallow statements without any nuance ,,, correlation does not mean causation ,,,,
I think we should remember that most persons historically came to the UK to work by choice, not as slaves. England did not need slaves, we were guilty of using child labour . Which of course we abolished.
Spot on we also played the major part in getting the slave trade banned and stopped, nobody can change history only the future, these people don’t seem to understand the slave trade is still with us in the sex trade, I don’t see the likes of Dr shola campaigning to get that stopped, maybe because the country she originates from is allegedly a big culprit maybe if she has the guts she should go back there and spout her mouth off
Julia's question as to who is doing this and where did it come from is answered in great detail in James Lindsay's recently published book "Race Marxism". And not just critical race theory but gender marxism, feminist marxism (a specific type), decolonial marxism etc etc. It is all marxism but instead of economic class, what has been elevated to the top is specific political identity markers. Lindsay is, IMO, the leading expert on this. He has done the thorough depth reading and analysis of the movement (critical social justice). He knows the history, the ideologies, the activism and understands the basis of the current destructive, corrosive attack. His book neatly dovetails into Murray's book and I highly recommend it.
"We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it's been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening." - Ronald Reagan
Lindsay is ultra smart. I don't know how he could bear to plough through all those dialectical weeds but it is an excellent achievement and he speaks brilliantly.
@@chrisruss9861 100%. I should also have pointed out that there is a podcast on his TH-cam channel New Discourses titled 'Queer Theory is Gender Marxism, Et Cetera'.
Mr. Murrays book is winging it's way to me and I'm looking forward to reading it. I'm tired of having woke leftist rhetoric stuffed down my throat and my history and culture being attacked on all sides. GL all, it's going to be a rocky ride from here on in.
Awaiting my bookseller’s call in Sydney to say Douglas Murray’s latest has arrived. Will leave home immediately to pick it up and start reading. One of the most captivating and common sensical minds of the 21st century.
As a black man from Jamaican descent I'm happy that Britain played a big role in ending the Atlantic slave trade, but I think we can't ignore that in Britain the government paid the former slave owners in a form of reperations that the British tax payers you & I paid for until 2015, I'm offended as a descendent of slaves that this directly affected but also as a British citizen. Britain brought us & then set us free through payments, not just setting us free without compensation for the slave owners & their descendents.
The 3 main threads for all this are: 1) Judith Butler and her ideas that gender is performative and gender is a social construct. She was trans. 2) Kimberlé Crenshaw came up with the idea of Intersectionslity which grew into the victim Olympics. 3) Peggy Mackintosh and her book on Unpacking the invisible knapsack which pushed the idea of white privilege. (I think they're all feminists so hate white men.) All of these things are taught as solid facts when they are just philosophical ideas. I can't help wondering WHO is financing the research in universities on this topics as they all plainly sow division and contention in society.
They tried to force me to sit through a 45 minute video on Equality and Diversity at work. I went to the toilet and spent 44 mins browsing the web before going back to the room.
Do you really believe this subject is purely about facts/research and there is no room for debate? I know this forum very much attracts like minded people and I won’t deny that I am not of the same mindset. I am however very much trying to listen to both sides of the discussion. So polarising to be closed to debate.
@@annroberts7086 I wish I had people like you to talk to and really see what people thing because from the looks of it. douglas is trying to herd mainly ignorant people and profit from it.
It gives me hope when I hear such common sense. We have people risking their lives to get into this country, we have countries who have been at our throats because they wanted our vaccines, we have countries who can now drink clean water because of our charitable nature, yet we are a racist dispicable nation! It's no wonder we have a mental health crisis, we have made people feel guilty of having self compassion and pride.
think about climate change and how the past affects the future :), just because you didnt do it doesn't mean you dont enjoy the benefits or observe the destruction that has been done for over 400 years. the best you can do is it help fix that destruction
Thanks goodness for people like Douglas and Julia. These people love themselves but they aren't very smart. So they find it useful to have a single low resolution explanation for all perceived evils. It's such a low IQ way to look at the world and that's why they do it. To sound clever.
English is the 3rd most popular language in the world spoken by over a billion people. As a small island Britain has always punched well above its weight. Proud to be English.

I do wish Douglas Murray would enter politics. Intelligent,patriotic, logical and thoroughly decent!
Politics would ruin Douglas's ability to look in on what is happening and give his analytical analysis. We are better off with him being non-partisan.
@Richard Humby - Absolutely not! What a foolish notion! I would never wish that on Douglas Murray. Let him continue to do what he does best - write brilliant and insightful books.
With those qualities he wouldn't last five minutes.
it'd provoke the same predictable response that he's a far right despicable racist . He's grudgingly allowed to reclaim criticism of certain gay issues as he himself is a gay man. Only wish he was a Douglas of colour to silence some of the white noise.
I have also been thinking this for a while. I believe it's true.
BOTH GENIUSES OF OUR TIME . Keep It Up !!!!!!! BOTH OF YOU !,!,!!!!! PLEASE !!!!!
Douglas Murray is a blessing. Compassion, clarity of thought, and a deep desire to end the madness of our time. If we get through this madness and come out the other side, able to see each other as full human beings, not just a collection of identity labels that prove our guilt or innocence, Murray can consider himself a major part of that achievement.
The War On The West is a Superb new book, as expected. Thank you Mr Murray
Douglas Murray is a hero.
Very well said! Thank you from the silent, oppressed majority.
Love Duggie, he's a national treasure
Well said Douglas 👏
White British and proud. People need to get over themselves.

The west ?
No there is a war on russia .
Thank you for an excellent interview.
A war we are strangely complicit in .
We are only complicit because we fail to speak up about the guilt that is being forced upon us by a few middle class kids that have not been taught common sense by their parents and have instead been taught and groomed into believing BS by their teachers and professors in schools and universities!
"We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it's been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening." - Ronald Reagan
@@kendaniel8601 so the goal is to herd the uneducated?

George Orwell must've have known something that we don't because its getting more and more like a dystopian society everyday
I re-read Orwell's Road to Wigan Pier recently. I revisited lectures given by both Christopher Hitchens and Peterson on Orwell. I read Paul Embry's book "Despised: Why the modern left loathe the working class". Again Embry's arguments were similar to those from nearly 90 years ago. I can't help but think that this is a recurring or even concurrent theme.
@@loafersheffield you reckon we’re in a constant cycle of political change? Because that could be the case and if so it does give me hope for humanity because right now I have nothing but doubts
@@samoke4527 Ditto.

Samoke. Totalitarianism always ends up eating itself alive. The worry is just how long it lasts this time round.

The Woke glitterati don't seem to care about the actual facts. As a Brit I'm proud my country was the first to abolish slavery.
Pip Pip!! I agreed with everything he said... Love this guy! My white family of the past had horrendous life's and when I hear all this stuff about white privilege it sickens me deeply. And all the other rubbish that's going on... Even our soldiers that fought in most of the wars were conscripted in or banged on the head and dragged in or joined rather than starve to death...
Well said . Thankyou
Douglas is currently our greatest living academic Britain right now. He is exceptionally intelligent, truthful, insightful and most of all...always 100% correct
He’s a journalist. Not an academic.
@@Billy-oh4bb And just saying what all sane people already know. I've got better things to do with my tenner.
Excellent interview, excellent book. Every western schoolkid should be taught the facts and the messages it contains. Or our children will suffer the consequences as the minority hate-mongers among us dictate (yes I know the inferences that word carries) a 1984 future they will all hate.
Thank everything good we have people like Douglas. ❤️
Brilliant stuff Douglas! Starting to read today. What the hell can we do about it?????????
About what ????? 😂😂
I would suggest starting by listening to some of James Lindsay’s podcasts. He offers explanations into identifying wokeness and crt and he’s also got some very interesting interviews as well. Also there are foundations and groups dedicated to the fight against the cancel “culture” and wokery
Well said, Douglas. I hope the tide is turning.
Excellent discussion. Thank you. In some ways the war needs to be on criticising, negativity, arrogance and pulling apart. If people could dwell on the good and their responsibility to improve the lives of people around them and their communities it would be better!
Contrary to Douglass's claim that colonialism is taught in schools.
Nick Gibb the school minister in 2021 rejected compulsory lessons about the Empire and the slave trade by claiming they would risk lowering “standards”.
@@theviewfinder8923 Intersting. I would love to also see who exactly douglas is speaking of, which people are fighting this war and what their arguments are.
@@MrPerfect-mo1xr u
@@williewilliams5677 give an example of these ideas
@@MrPerfect-mo1xr I haven't got the time to the educate you,,,but in all sincerity I recommend that you give urself an iron man argument,,,yiu should read Adams smiths wealth of nations Solzhenitsyn gulag archipelago and tom sowell truths about slavery ,,,,, a instead of just making shallow statements without any nuance ,,, correlation does not mean causation ,,,,
A really excellent interview, he tells it as it is.
I think we should remember that most persons historically came to the UK to work by choice, not as slaves. England did not need slaves, we were guilty of using child labour . Which of course we abolished.
Spot on we also played the major part in getting the slave trade banned and stopped, nobody can change history only the future, these people don’t seem to understand the slave trade is still with us in the sex trade, I don’t see the likes of Dr shola campaigning to get that stopped, maybe because the country she originates from is allegedly a big culprit maybe if she has the guts she should go back there and spout her mouth off
Along with slavery. Child labour and slavery still exist in many parts of the world.
Julia's question as to who is doing this and where did it come from is answered in great detail in James Lindsay's recently published book "Race Marxism". And not just critical race theory but gender marxism, feminist marxism (a specific type), decolonial marxism etc etc. It is all marxism but instead of economic class, what has been elevated to the top is specific political identity markers. Lindsay is, IMO, the leading expert on this. He has done the thorough depth reading and analysis of the movement (critical social justice). He knows the history, the ideologies, the activism and understands the basis of the current destructive, corrosive attack. His book neatly dovetails into Murray's book and I highly recommend it.
James, are you bigging up your own books under fake names again?
@@michaelmurray7220 Nope. Unfortunately not. Just a genuine recommendation, as outlined above.

Lindsay is ultra smart. I don't know how he could bear to plough through all those dialectical weeds but it is an excellent achievement and he speaks brilliantly.
@@chrisruss9861 100%. I should also have pointed out that there is a podcast on his TH-cam channel New Discourses titled 'Queer Theory is Gender Marxism, Et Cetera'.
Spot on once again Mr Murray
What a highly intelligent person Douglas is.
Mr. Murrays book is winging it's way to me and I'm looking forward to reading it. I'm tired of having woke leftist rhetoric stuffed down my throat and my history and culture being attacked on all sides. GL all, it's going to be a rocky ride from here on in.
More money to mince around Grindr.
@@DemocracyCountsx He can do whatever he likes with the money he earns. I'll judge him when I've read what he has to say. Peace 🖖
The guy is right . Good for him . Keep it up 🇬🇧
Awaiting my bookseller’s call in Sydney to say Douglas Murray’s latest has arrived. Will leave home immediately to pick it up and start reading. One of the most captivating and common sensical minds of the 21st century.
Just imagine if Fred and Rosemary West's children were blamed for their evil acts.
Douglas is the man!
Douglas, our Excalibur of national conscience.
Douglas Murray is brilliant
Thank goodness for you Douglas. We have to fight back now before it is too late.
This has only happened because of weak politicians who are more worried about being liked than doing the right thing.
Humble Grumble The irony is the woke left still despise them and the rest of us are now totally disgusted by their cowardice.
Bingo
Completely wrong, I'm afraid Mr Grumble. It has happened because we, the pubic, just can't be bothered to do anything about it
As a black man from Jamaican descent I'm happy that Britain played a big role in ending the Atlantic slave trade, but I think we can't ignore that in Britain the government paid the former slave owners in a form of reperations that the British tax payers you & I paid for until 2015, I'm offended as a descendent of slaves that this directly affected but also as a British citizen.
Britain brought us & then set us free through payments, not just setting us free without compensation for the slave owners & their descendents.
The 3 main threads for all this are:
1) Judith Butler and her ideas that gender is performative and gender is a social construct. She was trans.
2) Kimberlé Crenshaw came up with the idea of Intersectionslity which grew into the victim Olympics.
3) Peggy Mackintosh and her book on Unpacking the invisible knapsack which pushed the idea of white privilege.
(I think they're all feminists so hate white men.)
All of these things are taught as solid facts when they are just philosophical ideas.
I can't help wondering WHO is financing the research in universities on this topics as they all plainly sow division and contention in society.
Exactly
What a weird choice of three random women to blame for all this.
if you are not a bot, I would love if we could debate and have conversations
I agree with him, but I don't know what can be done about it. These people are in power everywhere.
They tried to force me to sit through a 45 minute video on Equality and Diversity at work. I went to the toilet and spent 44 mins browsing the web before going back to the room.
I bet the usual woke sheep enjoyed it though.
Should have left the toilet with a doggy bag and thrown it at them!
Brilliant!
Judging how much sales his book got, its now the majority against the woke cult who are finally waking up.
And about time
Thank goodness for people like Douglas Murray and Jordan Peterson, sanity and common sense are still alive.
You deny your past, you deny your future! Douglas Murray, is an absolute Gem!
It began with the Frankfurt School. They all batted for the same tribe too.
Jealousy is a terrible thing!
Duggie is right folk are sick of not being allowed to celebrate what achievements and let's face it look at the state of the places we pulled out of??
Spot on Douglas.
Thank you for saying this I have gone though stress being called many names not any were close to my name x
Spot on Douglas
*we need to expand to the tropics...NOW* !!
Sensible guest nice to listen to
great interview
mr murry..your the man....
Douglas does his research n knows his history love what he says n deals in facts
Do you really believe this subject is purely about facts/research and there is no room for debate? I know this forum very much attracts like minded people and I won’t deny that I am not of the same mindset. I am however very much trying to listen to both sides of the discussion. So polarising to be closed to debate.
@@annroberts7086 I wish I had people like you to talk to and really see what people thing because from the looks of it. douglas is trying to herd mainly ignorant people and profit from it.
It gives me hope when I hear such common sense. We have people risking their lives to get into this country, we have countries who have been at our throats because they wanted our vaccines, we have countries who can now drink clean water because of our charitable nature, yet we are a racist dispicable nation! It's no wonder we have a mental health crisis, we have made people feel guilty of having self compassion and pride.
Can't wait to see DM in a head to head debate with Robin DiAngelo!
Pre ordered it just listening to him talking now before I read it goooo dugggiiièeee
Excellent stuff
This guy is a god send
A voice for reason.
Douglas for PM.
Love Douglas
"Victim Olympics"...very apt. Neatly sums it up
Oh he’s a hero! It disgusts me what is happening to our civilisation. We must I fight back before it’s too late
Douglas the great
Got the book just waiting to get started on it as I know I won't be able to stop when started.
Good speaker ,
But we can't be guilty for what happend a long time a go we didn't do it x
think about climate change and how the past affects the future :), just because you didnt do it doesn't mean you dont enjoy the benefits or observe the destruction that has been done for over 400 years. the best you can do is it help fix that destruction
Thanks goodness for people like Douglas and Julia. These people love themselves but they aren't very smart. So they find it useful to have a single low resolution explanation for all perceived evils. It's such a low IQ way to look at the world and that's why they do it. To sound clever.
English is the 3rd most popular language in the world spoken by over a billion people. As a small island Britain has always punched well above its weight. Proud to be English.
