    Erudition, calm, truth. Can this be television? Certainly not. This is RUclips. And yet the spirit of inquiry is increasingly alive here. Hard conversations must not be approaching with weak, flinching equivocation. Murray and Steyn speak, and speak clearly. We need more like them.

      Marcus Aurelius . I wish I could agree because Mark Steyn is one of my favorites but where you see calm”I see a lack of needed passion. Where you see “ spirit of inquiry” I see dancing around the elephant in the living room. What I notice is that Europe freely gave up its national identities in favor of EU and globalism. That was damaging enough but it also gave up its religion with nothing to replace that gaping hole. The pathetic scene of people huddled around a piano singing John Lennon’s “ Imagine” after an Islamic Terrorist attack was telling.

      Sean Raymond to take too hard a line too quickly pushes away too many people. You need to smarten the speech a bit to appeal and grow an audience. The average audience understands the true nature of the problem. Both of these men have lived with fatwas and real death threats for a decade and more.

    • @pentreifan3905

      Colin Thomson Sort of. Don't forget, he's a bit of a tourist. He doesn't live next door to Islam, he's not butted that close. He's concerned about the bigger themes. He also comes from a privileged background and lives the sedate life of the writer. There is zero dirt under his fingertips. I get the feeling his primary concern is his sexuality in relation to Islam. Contrast all of that with say Tommy Robinson. Robinson does not possess the wordiness of Murray but I suspect his is a sharper mind, forged by living amidst islam. I'm always suspicious of people who write it but don't live it. Murray is kinda supercilious and not have as funny as he thinks he is. He's a better commentator on issues like lgbt and art imo. Leave the hard lifting to tommy Robinson.

    • @colinthomson5358
      @colinthomson5358 7 лет назад +3

      Ifan Cooke - I like Tommy too but Tommy will only appeal to the working class. The middle and upper classes will NEVER take him seriously and listen to him unless the media say so. And the media will never do that.
      The thing I don't like about Tommy and I think this is less true (I'm not sure by how much) of Douglas is if every Brit was replaced by an African or an Arab Tommy wouldn't care - as long as they aren't Muslim. I don't want to be replaced by either tbh.
      But we shouldn't complain - we are going to need every single person trying to make a diffence and even then... I'm not sure if we are going to win. Sad but true.

    Two of the most courageous, articulate and informed commentators who I always make time to listen to. They can see with such clarity the folly of mass Muslim migration and carefully describe it's problems to the rest of us who are profoundly concerned but not as good expressing it calmly. If only the liberal elites right across government, media, academia and the entertainment industry had half as much concern and honesty.

      The problem is... the only solution. The only sane and logical course... is racism. Not hateful racism. But sane and reasonable acceptance that the races ARE different. That culture is an expression of a people. And multiculturalism/ multi ethnic nations cannot survive intact. Study after study has shown that cohesion and trust within communities plummets in "diverse" communities. It's a structural decay within any society.

      quark quirk Well, many African despots continue to have the support of their people regardless of how the West spends its money. African leaders continue to use anti-colonial rhetoric to maintain their positions, and it works! Many of them were bought in on waves of nationalist euphoria in the post colonial period, so Africans are largely victims of their own choices. As indeed we all are. Rather than finance tyrants it would have been more effective if the British had maintained control of their former colonies, but the colonised felt differently, and obviously believed their nations would be better without British rule. Personally, I think they were gravely mistaken.

    The thing I find most amazing is that they do this talk and they speak so calmly and humorously. It's just their style which is lovely. However, they're literally talking about what could potentially lead to a civil war in 10-20 years from now unless it is addressed NOW. If it doesn't lead to a civil war, then that's even worse - it means modern Europe as we know it will be gone.

      Yes, people like to be amongst their own. However, they still assimilated.
      They were proud Americans and never considered donning an explosive vest, or driving a truck into a crowd, or shooting up a gay bar in Florida or an office gathering in San Bernadino.
      Theodore Roosevelt’s ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
      “In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American … There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag … We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language … and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

    Awesome interview, Mark! Been watching both your and Douglas' videos on youtube for sometime now. I fully agree with both of you - mass immigration has been having significant detrimental effects on major western cities. I live in Vancouver, and here it's a different problem: mass immigration coupled with speculative real estate buying by foreign investors. Of course the government up until now has largely dragged its feet or denied such a thing has been happening, until last year when a foreign buyers tax was introduced. Well, that government has been kicked to the curb and now we have a new one. Ultimately, I believe that mass immigration and foreign speculative buying of real estate have destroyed the formerly quaint and laid-back nature Vancouver once was. Now, it's an non-stop construction site with cheap leaky condos, endless traffic, and multi-million dollar monster McMansions, luxury vehicles, and a lotta depressed-looking people. Very sad!

    About 26 minutes in, he's really getting to the heart of the question. You are never going to even want to preserve your culture if you've been raised from childhood being told by schools, the news media, the entertainment industry and sometimes even your family and friends that 1) all cultures are equally good and 2) your own culture has not only never contributed anything worthwhile in history, but that your culture has been the source of all the evil in the world!
    We're talking about generations raised with this poisoned thinking, both in Europe and in America as well. No wonder people don't want to preserve Western culture or individual countries! They've completely internalized the lie that we are NOTHING but evil.

    This is not an accident.
    Multiculturalism was always doomed and yet governments of all Western countries signed up for it to virtue signal. This was backed by the UN which uses its benign front to propagandise to every municipality in every Western country, calling for and getting bipartisanship, so that it is never discussed.
    The UN has played a greater role than is commonly realised through its promotion of International agreements via these internecine channels to all levels of bureaucracy.
    Its aim, as with the Lima agreement, is global wealth redistribution. Population redistribution was always part of it.
    Tell the women from puberty they must have a career and babies/families are no longer mentioned in high school.
    Create a lower birth rate and then talk up immigration as a solution. Hard to believe it worked.

      What are you talking about? They were Christian, Jewish and Zoroastrian/pagan for hundreds of years before Islam murdered it's way out of Arabia.. And the only reason why the 'Muslim world' saved all of the knowledge that was left behind in the cities during and after the invasions and also it's because of the people who were actually running the day to day operations of the cities and nations.. They were of course the captured Christians, Jews and other literate humans who could actually read.. (These capture people ie; slaves, who were the secretaries, managers, supervisors and the like which is why the 'islamic' empire was successful) When the Muslims came they mostly preferred to live outside the cities because they were nomadic.. It is all they knew how to live.. They were not city people and could not stand the city life.

The Left and its handmaidens will not allow the discussion he rightly insists must happen, to actually take place. The problem will get worse out of a malignant neglect and, eventually, we will see more and more people like Anders Breivik taking matters into their own hands. People will correctly conclude that, if the State will not perform its most basic function and provide physical security to me and my loved ones, we will provide it ourselves, even in aggressive fashion.

    Excellent discussion, Mark Steyn. Just finished the Strange Death of Europe. A book I will have to go back to in a year or so and read again. And listen to your interview again. It is mind blowing. I would like to understand how it applies here in the US. It clearly does, but nuance is important. Murray's depth in understanding and research of both the facts on the ground and the psycho-social troubles of culture makes the book unique.
    It is THOROUGH, not a mere reportorial book with anecdotes; it delves into the philosophical questions that lie within are present conundrum. Politicians are emotionally manipulated by reporters and immediately their words are heard by the immigrants around the world who know how to get what they want in the global village we have become. He is not afraid to tell the most heart-rending stories about the immigrants -- YET exactly for that reason we have to be able to discuss everything freely, not shackled by PC culture.
    The problem is our media and institutions exalt in emotionalism and a false moral righteousness -- not thought and discussion and trust in a non-PC democracy. I would not have a problem with any number of immigrants IF they could be integrated. It's the mindless suicide of our culture and the authoritarian nature of the ideology that is replacing it -- that is what deeply troubles.

His book generally consists of arguments against neoliberal multiculturalism and how it doesnt work, so its useful to counter the arguments of white middleclass liberals. The thing is while your average white liberal is blue-pilled, international elites know exactly what they are doing. His book is a good start to learn about the migration crisis, but you certainly need to read more ( esp. about Kalergi Plan) if you wanna get red-pilled.
