Woke requires the denial of objective reality.
Just like church requires undying and unequivocal surrender to d sky man, or risk eternal punishment 😂😂
It’s cultist
That is absolutely right!
They believe every other point of view is subjective, that there are only subjective points of view, except theirs.
They believe that there is no such thing as truth except for there philosophy, which they give the status of absolute truth!
Then they describe that contradiction as being an oxymoron!
The only truth they acknowledge is relative truth and that can only be said in a very soft voice.
That is why they are so accurately portrayed by the caricature of a spoilt child in a screaming fit.
They are mad, deconstructive, unhinged, lunatics.
Capitalism and class is the objective reality.Facts which Douglas Murray ignores.
@@leonharrison800it's not like you **Should** fight against it it has been this way and it's time and tested capitalism works but what really is the issue here is the fact unchecked capitalists are the ones funding the woke and woke themselves never adhere to their supposed equality thinking and perspectives, it's just controlled opposition
Being aware? Is that all you idiots see yourselves as? Don't wanna talk about the disastrous anti human globalist outcomes of the woke mind virus put into action?@@AHeinermann
'Pretending not to know about things we all knew about yesterday'. As good a definition on this idiocy as any I've heard.
Both woke and Ingsoc demand that all know about things we don't know about, while all pretending to not knowing about things we know about.
"...we _all_ knew about yesterday". After bemoaning how people are being lumped together and their ideas being expressed as though they were an amorphous mass, he goes on to do exactly the same thing when it suits _his_ agenda.
He ties himself in knots several times during this interview.
@@MrReasonabubbleThat's not the same. He talks about _we_ as in all, everyone. The groups think he was discussing prior to that was assuming someone holds a particular view based on being lumped into a group of people who share an often immutable characteristic or interest. _All_ humans know what the sky is but we'd be asking questions if someone was stating its actually the ocean, vs a notion that all redheaded people must believe in the tooth fairy simply because of their hair colour.

Douglas Murray is so on the ball. So happy that there are at least a few outspoken people with moral clarity.

capitalism is an artificial PYRAMID hierarchy.

Excellent comment Michael. The fact that you formulated it so clearly says a lot about your qualities and discerning capacity. Thank you. N.
Some people read 1984 as an instruction manual, not as a warning.
Excellent comment. I will use this. Thanks
That includes Murray who never warns about CBDC, that will take out any individualism out of every individual, not just LGBT.
@@XHALE303 You think he should not only have expertise on every issue he should talk on them?
2023 is 1984 sadly!
I can't think of too many people more intellectually gifted/qualified than Douglas Murray to write a "2048" - a sequel of sorts to G. Orwell's own opus - that would portray today - as G. Orwell prophesied from the vantage point of 1948 - what OUR world will look like if the scourge of our contemporaty Woke leftist infects and metastasized like cancer into every aspect of our civilization. Yes we do need a new warning - about once every election cycle...
Finally someone with genuine intelligence & a knowledge of history. He blasts the woke rubbish with honesty & Truth!
People who use logic don't use strawman arguments to try to prove their point.

That is brilliant. Douglas Murray is one of my favorite thinkers. And, frankly, one of the bravest people on earth. When society begins to crumble, people like his stand in the gap.
Hahahaha, this dude, not very well informed, despite that he, never once explained what woke means. Dr. Kathleen Cleaver, human rights activist, and former member of the black Panther party, first coined the term woke, back in the 1960’s, during the civil rights movement. Woke, means to be politically conscious, politically aware, well informed, to well educated on injustices.

This man is brilliant, and can be very funny at the same time.
It is British humor combined with intelligence.
Bigots are decidedly the opposite of both "brilliant" and "funny." They are naught more than anti-freedom.
@@zsuzsannacircleedge8416 : An intelligent person reads about the things they do not understand, and certainly will look up word definitions instead of having to so desperately hide the actual meanings of words because they are so easily made uncomfortable by the mere mention of those meanings. No, bigots are neither intelligent, nor funny. They are thin-skinned and emotionally frail, and they obviously hate freedom.

Whats sad is the people who need to be politicians are smart enough not to be
well said :)
To the same effect, there's a saying that goes back decades: "The USA's political system discourages the best candidates from running for office."
Another adaptation; some folks are born to be leaders, (very few), the rest are wannabes.......
thats great did you borrow it or make it up yourself,i am going to borrow it from you
I've been saying this for years but not as concisely. Those who are smart enough to hold public office are smart enough not to run for public office.
Murray is not only so clear, but so elegantly clear.
'Don't put people into categories and say that they all think the same- people are independent'
'You can always 100% tell the sort of people who are going to do that'
yep. It's all hypocrisy and sophistry
May we as a civilization get past this insanity. Amen.
👍👏👏👏👏👏🙏

So, treating every human being as a human being is insanity? That's what you just said.

Some of the most articulate, important, and necessary 3 minutes spoken in recent history! Thank you!
Not only is he a smart man but he can eloquently articulate his positions. It is a skill that most people don't have. We could use more like him.
I mean... He immediately contradicts himself in this video. He's also the guy who supported invading Iraq and Brexit. Hardly smart?
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." If you can deny biological reality itself to appease feelings once, you've set a dangerous precedent. Because when you remove logic and reason from your determinations, anything, no matter how depraved, can be your normal.
as a woke person I believe in science, unless it conflicts with what my leaders tell me to believe about things like covid, trans in sports, and climate change. Also, I think the phrase "history repeats itself" is pretty dumb. sooner of later a really cool and successful anti-capitalist society will form and allow total freedom for all, like literally zero oppression, we just have to be very woke and I don't think we should tolerate any ideas contrary to ours because we clearly stand for freedom and expression!
And the absurdity is that people think governments care about you. If you can deny history you've set a dangerous precedent. Because when you remove logic and reason from your determinations CBDC can be implemented globally, while talking all day about LGBT.
Well said 👍🏾

Jordan Peterson
"These groups doesn't even exist" Exactly. It is broad terminology that can mean anything and anybody can be labeled or dislabeled based on ever changing rules and anybody can identify as such without any problem. It reminds me of astrology with all these generalized terms that do not tell you anything really but it always seems like it fits you perfectly because you associate it with your experience.
*don’t even … 😉
It’s continues to be in my head that woke doesn’t see people as individuals but as groups.

I’m open to the idea that he’s smart tho I generally disagree with his politics. I’m still trying to find a coherent definition of “woke” from the Right and I haven’t found it here. He’s doing no better than that girl who froze at the question imo.
@@michaels8620 "Woke" is the equivalent of Marx's "class consciousness". Within the framework of Cultural Marxism. Obviously it is not defined as such but critical thinking connects the dots.
@@codebloke2200 yeah, I think that’s what the left broadly means by woke. Being aware essentially. My issue is for the right in turning it as a pejorative. I understand the strategy, they’ve done this for decades. The right has more terms for the left than the Eskimo s have for snow. But where they fall down is in THEIR definition. Murray here makes no real definition, the woman I referred to who wrote the anti woke book but couldn’t define woke, etc. As a cynical political tactic idk that it’s working as their own base is confused as to what they’re supposed to be outraged about exactly
@@michaels8620
That's exactly how point You're proving...
Try to blur what's clear and ignoring the problem that comes with it.
Thank you DM , listening to someone who has a perfect command of the English language , unlike many who dare to vent their pleen on television .
Please keep talking Mr Murray.
We need to start repeating real truth over and over until it becomes mainstream again.
I wish I had the personality to speak up.
It's such a relief that there are still sane people around.
Sanity will prevail.
The globalist rich are trying to make us all peasants and serfs
Woke is a massive simplification that provides people with atrophied cognitive function with a simple formula to express "I hate those I cannot understand".
Sane people are usually censored. The minority are just loud.
Seriously man...
Thank you Mr Anderson for this conversation. Douglas Murray is the voice of sanity👍
And Doug Mulray was the sane voice of insanity. I thought I had seen the full interview. But the 3min version is great to circulate.

Douglas Murray is an absolute treasure. Sense and intelligence all together. Quite odd for the current world we are living in. He is utterly brilliant.
Yes, he articulates a premise well to define its place in current times.
I think however, Jordan Petterson comes across better ie. more accurately considered or defined.
Yes. A man who makes bigotry and hate acceptable and lies about history!! As appalling as Ron DeSantis in Florida. Racist,sexist and lgbt hating to the core.
didn't he crow that muslims were going to take over europe for years and years and then when that didn't happen he pivoted to this embarrassment
And a missing "treasure" somewhere in the Alibaba cave!

Murray another toxic conservative. Happy to spew hate like his Sky News defenders .
You don't need to speak to a climate activist or Green Party member for very long before they start talking about dismantling capitalism. That's what is so off-putting about them.
Seems to be very many routes to dismantling capitalism, but not very many to fix the actual problems.
Yes, and you will also know, without even asking, their views on matters like abortion, trans rights, etc. They never break away from the script.
‘Why would we be taking the individualism out of individuals’ Isn’t that exactly what you’ve done here ? Not trying to have an argument online. Just interested to hear how it’s different ?
@@Bigbeatmanifesto Lol, this is spot on. And Douglas is doing to same 😂
@@Bigbeatmanifestothe difference being is in the sentence structure, you see.
When someone says, "a green party member" and not " green party members", they are speaking about a single individual. Would you like them to put "Steve" so you have zero context about whom is being spoken about? 😂

"End capitalism" or "smash the patriarchy". It's the same yearning for destruction instead of an effort to improve and build things.
The reason they can't "smash" it is because there is no such thing.
@@The_integral_anomaly The fact remains that there still is a desire to destroy something, just that there is no specific tangible target. It's like an undirected "world anger" against everything and everyone, including themselves since they have no where to direct their preoccupying anger towards.

It's called straw-manning, it's a common debating technique used by liars.
@@Epicurwat Do you know what straw-manning is?
Jokes aside, this isn't a straw-man. A straw-man is intentionally misinterpreting the opponents argument so you end up arguing something much easier for you and harder for them. What the commenter described is much more similar to the Socratic method, developed by renounced genius of the ancient world Socrates.
That is a powerful observation. So simple to understand and yet not so simple to perform.
Watching Douglass perform here is akin to watching other professionals. Seems so easy to replicate which is not the case for normies.
It's also a powerful tool to use when unaware of confirmation bias.
@@caniputmyballsinyojaw No, Murray is making up an idea of "woke" that only exists in the minds of those who feel threatened by people rejecting race theories, and that is a classic straw-man.

Brilliant explanation, I so understand. I'm sick of this old woke joke.😮
I swear modern society is becoming an humourless parody of Monty Python's 'Life of Brian'.
We were taught not to stereotype in Year 10 when I was at school and we didn't find that too difficult a concept.
It’s usually correct.
Agreed. That and many other things have been flipped around today. Schools today are teaching the opposite of what was taught only a generation ago.
And then hopefully as an adult you realized that there is more than just a little truth to stereotypes
White racist love to stereotype
The problem with stereotyping is that it's always done unconsciously. No one thinks they stereotype. Including you. Only "other people" ever stereotype....of course.
And there ARE stereotypes, because most people are sheep and allow someone else to do their thinking and stereotyping for them. Of course they look down on 'stereotyping' as well, but only when those "other people" do it in a way that offends them personally.
Absolutely brilliant!
Thank you Douglas Murray for speaking the truth 💖✨💫
He's a gem
I enjoy listening to Mr Murray. He is intelligent and brilliant and so much common sense. We need more of this.
Same, because common sense is now considered hate speech and violence so...not so common. Ugh.
A 3 minute video to say Woke is anti capitalism. 🙄
he's a grifter
The word has a meaning in the dictionary. Interesting how he avoids mentioning the meaning of the word entirely and then (with no source even mentioned) says someone said stuff. Yet even if they were as dumb as he portrays them, words do not change meaning simply because some random person doesn't know the meaning. This is the bane of people who support burning dictionaries, hiding history, and other truths they're uncomfortable with.
Maybe instead, ask why these people are so easily offended by such things as history, definitions, and freedom.

Just received war on the west this morning. We need to protect this man.
Douglas Murray...what a treasure for the logical thinking person.
Exactly 💯 he's not deluded or in denial.
@@catherinethomas1276 the guy who supported Brexit and invading Iraq? Right...
I ❤ Douglas Murray!
I enjoyed your commentary and I agree with you.
Rational, logical , criticality & clarity of thought. That's Douglas Murray..
A beacon of common sense in an increasingly confused and hysterical world.
WOKE is a tool for the Reset. One step to change the world, transhumanism requires genders to vanish.
👍👍👍
Brilliant 👍
Wonderful way to start the day ,listening to the brilliant Mr Murray. Clear thinking and reasoning,delivered in beautiful English! What more can one ask for? Dare I say without offending you, please,please do not grow a beard! You have a fresh, handsome face, so please do not spoilt it.
Doug nails it every time
Dont call him 'Doug' he hates that..its Douglas.
"Woke" for me is pushing warm fuzzy feeling as facts and a lack of any wisdom in decision-making.
You could say that about anything you fundamentally don't have the capacity to understand I guess
@@Roundspire Most 14 year old girls would be woke to why you seem to invoke their demographic as some sort of insult
@@daveyboots79hence why they use woke to describe anything they don’t agree with
You mean the Labour Party
@@daveyboots79except woke is transparent af and easy to read which is why more and more people act against it.
Well said
I find it tough arguing as there is so much around but thanks Douglas you are tonic
I could listen to Douglas talk all day. ❤
What an absolute breath of fresh air is this man.
WELL SAID!!!
Such a voice of simple common sense and balanced perspectives but a sad reflection of this day and age that he has to spell it out and still the twits don’t get it! Thank you Douglas Murray it must be exasperating and exhausting at times but your eloquence wins every time.
Isn't it weird how he contradicts himself in this video though? Being an Iraq war and Brexit supporter is hardly the height of intelligence either...
Why indeed. Who is giving the woke a voice and a platform?
Look who controls the media - global influences attempting to control narrative & vocabulary.
As far as I can tell it started with activist groups who weaponised social media to bully anyone who disagreed with them. They discovered that they could use deceitful language to get someone cancelled. Thus someone who expresses disagreement is problematic, a bigot, saying unacceptable things which cause hurt and distress. Companies jumped on board as they didn’t want their brand damaged. And of course fellow travellers are feted, and welcomed.

Thankyou for your candid and honest view. I think you are fine Gentleman. They broke the mold when you came along

It is a good thing they broke the mold on this unqualified "scholar" with all his unsourced quotes that he makes. So sad that ignorant conservatives gobble up Murray's nonsense without having attained a basic knowledge of scholarship. Shame on Murray for duping innocent ignorant conservatives. So very sad!
I gather that you see nothing odd about a bloke competing in women's weightlifting, then?
Can you help ME not to see that? Because it looks bloody unfair to me! @@Andre-bk6jp
You are so correct.
Spot on Douglas Murray. Common Sense we need more of.
Douglas is a modern day hero…….this man will help you understand what is going on in the world!!!!
Thomas Sowell is anyone.
