It was the Royal Navy that literally went to war with the global slave trade 50yrs B4 the American civil war. The history of slavery is far broader than America's experience
Forgotten, not mentioned, is the slavery going on since Yr 1000. By the MAMMELUKES , islamic tribes in AFRICA! Still going on in Congo. To mine lithium. Why dont we hear by abt this by the so called Wokes! Bc islam !

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.
We forget the history of slavery is far broader than the American experience. Britain outlawed slavery in the 12th Cent. In the 16th Cent. over 1million ppl were kidnapped into slavery from SW Britain (Cornwall/Wales) by North Africans.
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.
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.

@@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.
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!
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
YES! Douglas Murray ! Hear ! Hear ! I am proud to be British !🇬🇧We have given so much to the world that should be celebrated ! 🎉 I’m not buying any of our detractors nonsense !! But I am buying your brilliant books !! 😃
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@HelicopterShownUp He asks intelligent questions allows the people he interviews to answer without interrupting them, and unlike Cathy Newman does not try to put words into their mouths.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
Love, love, love Douglas Murray! A true voice of reason and common sense amongst all the chaos! So fluent, so knowledgeable and so very interesting! Also Stephen is a great interviewer! Fantastic interview guys! 👍👍👍
"We're using very emotive language" ... "Not particularly -- I've going quite easy on them actually." Excellent. Love Murray. He's been using precise language and quoting them accurately.
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.
Murray is the anti hero. Conservative values and "religious freedom" can never be made acceptable by Murray or Peterson. Both are toxic and must be destroyed.
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.
Amazing a genuine interview that asked intelligent questions and didn't become a ridiculous Cathy Newman interview.The interviewer actually read the damn book!Give the man a raise, agree or disagree, take the time to understand the position.
IM WHITE ENGLISH STRAIGHT AND A PATRIOT OF ENGLISH CULTURE IM VERY VERY PROUD AND WILL TEACH ALL MY GRANDKIDS THE WONDERS OF THIS ENGLISH COUNTRY AND HISTORY
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!
He speaks for me as well. He does it so much better than I could. I know what I beleive and what I want to say but I'm not well educated so I'm so happy Douglas Murray is here to say it for me!
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.
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?"
@@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.
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!!!
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”.
I'm not conservative nor christian, I've always been on the old traditional labour left but there is very little that Douglas Murray says that I don't agree with.
Excellent interview. currently half way through his book and many times just had to stop reading to shake my head in sheer disbelief at some of the incidents Douglas was describing. The common sense majority simply have to win this war which we should be able to do easily if the Government, companies, corporations and institutions just grew a spine and tell these minority loons where to go and not continue giving in them as they currently are. Keep up the good fight Douglas.
as it is not all orgaised by blacks there are questions about what is behind this, blacks use grammer in their own language. This undermines blacks and whites. Are a majority of blacks actually cheering all of this on?

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).
@@dannythebear743 No it's not my answer, it's not explaining how he's actually reflective of the majority, nor is it explaining how Douglas is possibly helping people who are supposedly neglected or silenced.
Douglas is now a US resident? I'm very happy to know this. Welcome to the land of the free and the home of the not-so-brave-anymore, Mr. Murray! England's loss is certainly our gain!
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
Lost cause is the phrase. No such term as loss cause. In any case, the struggle for Western culture is not a lost cause. How could it be? We have the strength of logic and clear sight of fact on our side.
The land is precious. The people and its history can be wiped. What people fail to realise though is that Britain will never be taken over. We’re a nuclear superpower. The US won’t allow it.
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
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.
I have been thinking recently about how much the United States owes to the British and Anglo-Saxon traditions of law and order, moral propriety and upright deportment. Steady on, our dear allies. We will always love the "old country."
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.
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.
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.
Douglas Murray is 1 of my all time heros, what an obvious argument to all of this nonsense that has been infecting our societies more prolifically than COVID or the Spanish flu could ever have hoped to do. Keep up the great work Mr Murray.
Murray's framing of a "war on the west" is absolute BS and a complete and utter diversion from the insidious dysfunction inherrent to entrenched teetering hierarchies of wealth and power and the imperialistic processes intrinsic to gross inequities within and across societies. I'd argue that one of the main reasons "the West" (whatever that is-he doesn't define what the hell he's actually talking about) is feeling under attack from within is chiefly because the hey day of colonialism and plundering resources and exploiting people abroad is ebbing once again and there's not enough to go around (this time because the planet itself is running out of room/resources capable of sustaining the hyper consumption that the corporate-imperial apparatus has developed to keep itself alive). How about this as an alternative framing? Public services are being eroded in this country such as healthcare, access to justice, worker's rights, education, etc. Likewise public infrastructure, e.g., roads, schools, hospitals. Cost of living are rocketing upwards. Environmental degradation is increasing, such as biodiversity loss, pollution of water and land, soil quality degrading, carbon emissions increasing, etc. That is what is "attacking us". The status quo of gross inequalities, inequities, and injustices, that are inherent to large hierarchies of power, which are entirely dysfunctional when it comes to governing a society (hmmmm, why do all these empires keep collapsing all the time?). Our democratic governance determining our laws and our relationships to the resources/land-rights is in the hands of oligarchs/elites, and we the masses of society have lost so much autonomy over are lives that we are coereced into being hyper consumers, at the same time as being driven to focus our socio-economic behaviour on making money, rather than towards things that are moneterily worthless, but have infinite value and which are necessarry for happy, meaningful lives. Murray's culture war rhetoric is a massive diversion from addressing the root causes of injustice and inequities that are tearing our social fabric, which is entrenched hierarchies of wealth/power and social-political dominance. Those at the top are socially, economically, and environmentally cut-off from the lives of people below them (and vice versa), and the problem is their decisions affect all of our lives in fundamental ways. So let's focus on how to divest our politial system and governance institions from their influence shall we? In my mind, just as efforts were made to divorce the church and state previously (for the same reasons), we now have to focus on ways to both divorce money/wealth-power from the state, as well as undermine these teetering inequalities in the first place.
'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.
@@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).
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.

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!!

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?

Mr Murray is a national treasure well done sir
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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Very smart guy.. one of our best consistently "on point" pundits. Give the Sophomores hell, Douglas.
Douglas Murray is 1 of my all time heros, what an obvious argument to all of this nonsense that has been infecting our societies more prolifically than COVID or the Spanish flu could ever have hoped to do. Keep up the great work Mr Murray.
Murray's framing of a "war on the west" is absolute BS and a complete and utter diversion from the insidious dysfunction inherrent to entrenched teetering hierarchies of wealth and power and the imperialistic processes intrinsic to gross inequities within and across societies. I'd argue that one of the main reasons "the West" (whatever that is-he doesn't define what the hell he's actually talking about) is feeling under attack from within is chiefly because the hey day of colonialism and plundering resources and exploiting people abroad is ebbing once again and there's not enough to go around (this time because the planet itself is running out of room/resources capable of sustaining the hyper consumption that the corporate-imperial apparatus has developed to keep itself alive).
How about this as an alternative framing? Public services are being eroded in this country such as healthcare, access to justice, worker's rights, education, etc. Likewise public infrastructure, e.g., roads, schools, hospitals. Cost of living are rocketing upwards. Environmental degradation is increasing, such as biodiversity loss, pollution of water and land, soil quality degrading, carbon emissions increasing, etc. That is what is "attacking us". The status quo of gross inequalities, inequities, and injustices, that are inherent to large hierarchies of power, which are entirely dysfunctional when it comes to governing a society (hmmmm, why do all these empires keep collapsing all the time?).
Our democratic governance determining our laws and our relationships to the resources/land-rights is in the hands of oligarchs/elites, and we the masses of society have lost so much autonomy over are lives that we are coereced into being hyper consumers, at the same time as being driven to focus our socio-economic behaviour on making money, rather than towards things that are moneterily worthless, but have infinite value and which are necessarry for happy, meaningful lives.
Murray's culture war rhetoric is a massive diversion from addressing the root causes of injustice and inequities that are tearing our social fabric, which is entrenched hierarchies of wealth/power and social-political dominance. Those at the top are socially, economically, and environmentally cut-off from the lives of people below them (and vice versa), and the problem is their decisions affect all of our lives in fundamental ways. So let's focus on how to divest our politial system and governance institions from their influence shall we? In my mind, just as efforts were made to divorce the church and state previously (for the same reasons), we now have to focus on ways to both divorce money/wealth-power from the state, as well as undermine these teetering inequalities in the first place.

'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."

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.

What is Western Civilization?

This guy is so well spoken he’s probably the only one who’s actually read all the books in their background
The vast majority are copies of his own books.
I think Dr Jordan Peterson is probably in that same category...
@@greglux8317 The interview between those two was quite awesome.
Agreed. I almost always learn something new when I'm watching either of them.

Thank goodness for Douglas Murray! And a very brave one he is!
Didn't expect Douglas here, but I always appreciate the man's perspective
Douglas Murray is a sharp dude.
Fantastic critical analysis by Murray, great questions by the interviewer. Very much enjoyed this segment.
Great book, audiobook reading is great from Murray himself. 10/10
Murray is taking over from Roger Scruton as the most important conservative thinker now in existence.
yes but Roger hadn't the canines
@@evolassunglasses4673 Nothing wrong with genuine free enterprise. The UK government takes about 50 per cent of GDP. We have a mixed economy - nothing remotely like actual classical liberalism, or indeed individualism. If only we did.
But never ever point to the cause of the problem.

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
Well said Douglas!
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.
I love Douglas Murray I wish I could hear more from him
Douglas Murray is on RUclips and has many books written by him.
Letting the speaker speak is what many mainstream journalists lack in skills. But this Steven Edgington, he's something else. Good catch by The Telegraph.
