The way that you can’t tell Douglas is gay because he doesn’t make it a defining part of his identity is the way I wish being black was. It matters so little to who I am. There are so many better things to build your identity around other than your race or sexuality.
He's basically implementing real equality in that he acts like straight people like myslef act about their sexuality. Like nobody cares. But the current obsession with sexual, racial and whatever minorities is just overcompensation after centuries of opression and most people will end up somewhere similar to Dougy, eventually. With colorful edge cases which is how things should be.
Absolutely! I watched loads of his stuff before l was aware he was gay and I thought the same as you- non issue and far less of interest than what he has to say.
Surely that was the whole point of the civil rights movement, on which I am no expert. You make a good point, and as I write that i realize that it should not be necessary to say so.
I never felt the need to do that either. I never once attended a gay pride, because there are other things I feel proud of, the things that actually took a lot of work to accomplish.

Douglas is right. All the people who talk about equality and kindness never talk about fairness. Whether it's discriminating against your political opponents or giving a protected class preferential treatment, the one thing that they don't stand for is a single standard of conduct that applies equally to everyone. Having power is more important to these people than fairness.
Also Douglas should know that it's mostly men of violence who come to the table and write the peace protocols. In reality I don't agree the ira were on its knees anymore than the violent murderous loyalists or the army who became a huge part of the problem. He seems to discount the years of being second class citizens in your own country by a system set up to ensure you get nothing ever. Its much more nuanced than the niche view
The thing I don’t understand, as a French who lives in a country that is supposedly, a socialist country, is why, why so much disgust from him and most english speaking cultures, for socialism, as if it was equivalent to communism. Is my country such a bad exemple of society? (I mean, since Macron, or should I say since Sarkozy, it’s definitely a fiasco, but NOT because of our socio-economical model, rather because of the EU that is destroying it). I would truely like to understand.
@@mary-gael7633 I suspect it is much to do with different definitions of 'socialist'. For example, some would say that the UK has a socialist government and has done for a long time. Compare its welfare and NHS with USA, for example.
I asked ChatGPT to explain wokeism in the style of HP Lovecraft and this is what it gave me. Pretty much nailed it: "Beware, dear reader, for I am about to recount the grim and ghastly tale of a movement so insidious and terrifying, that it threatens to unravel the very fabric of our society. I speak, of course, of the dark and eldritch force known as "Wokism." This loathsome ideology creeps like a foul and shapeless horror, seeping into the minds of the unsuspecting and twisting them to its will. Its tendrils reach into every corner of our world, twisting language and perverting truth, until it becomes a mockery of all that is good and true. Its acolytes, the "woke," are fanatics who worship at the altar of social justice, driven mad by a feverish and relentless pursuit of an ever-shifting moral code. They seek to destroy all that we hold dear, to tear down the pillars of civilization and replace them with a monstrous new order. Their black rites are whispered in dark corners and secret gatherings, where they plot their next assault on our way of life. They demand the unthinking obedience of all who would dare to question their madness, and those who resist are cast into the abyss of the canceled, their names stricken from the annals of history. Beware, I say, for the tendrils of Wokism stretch ever outward, threatening to snuff out the light of reason and hope in our world. Pray that you may never fall under its sway, lest you too be consumed by the abyssal horror that is Wokism."

@@l3358 That's just because it works from existing human texts, and there is far more Woke text available than pre-Woke or anti-Woke text. The AI itself has no "feelings" about Wokism one way or the other.
@DieFlabbergast I'm sure you're right. makes sense. Woke Code was wrong. I get your point though, if its sourcing data from institutions of authority, its going to produce those results based on those parameters. still, it's not great if everyone relies on it as a source of truth. It's clearly partisan with some of the results it produces based on how it works.
I am British but live in the French speaking part of Switzerland. I am happy to say that although everyone is aware of the LGBTQ trend, people here don't feel they are required to censor their own speech. It feels as though the British culture is just spiralling out of control into a direction that simply makes no sense at all. Douglas Murray is always a sober voice hopefully reminding some people that its okay to be normal!!!!
It’s on its way all over Europe. I read somewhere that the language needs to develop before it spreads into other cultures than the anglo world. Germany is certainly spearheading the spread into the German speaking world.
On the point of victimhood. As a grand child of holocaust survivors I have noticed that one of the greatest indicators of a trauma victim is the inability to see themselves as a victim since it is too difficult to process the emotions and still carry on. Whereas those claiming to be victims are often highly incapable of taking responsibility.....
That would likely be a coping mechanism as you wonderfully illustrated. Good note and acknowledgment. I will be the devils advocate and say people can still be victims and self aware of their turmoil, you just tend to see it more rarely i think. Usually when you think you see it, it’s someone masquerading for attention. I guess I say all that to say there are true victims who could technically fall under the self-victimization umbrella and abusers often use this as a stigma against them to maintain their victimization by getting them to distance from how bad things actually are. It can go from coping to control fairly quickly.
So true. It has taken me 50 years to speak about why I ran away from home. The slander of my mother and father telling everyone that I was pregnant. I was an Honor student . A teen Olympic contender. First time recipient of a Title IX award from the First Lady. I was in the band, an artist, a California State wide science award winner. But I could not cope with the trauma of my new Dad's lesbian daughter trying to force herself on me night after night. I became sleep deprived running out of my room at 2am because she would cone home high and drunk and force her way into my bedroom. I just didn't know what to say to my mother and my new Dad. They knew something was wrong. I asked my grandparents to live with them , but I didn't tell them about the sexual assaults. My parents were enraged, flipping out on me screaming at me, " ..you are not going to make me look like a bad parent by leaving.." I was strangled and slammed up against a stone wall. I was only interested in always being the very best person, athlete, scholar , daughter that I could be. I was only 14. When traumatized the last thing I ever wanted was to be seen as a victim, so you just get on with living.
Douglas is just the best. Probably the most interesting person to listen to now that Hitch is gone. I appreciate his very poignant take on guns in America. He’s one of the only people that admits he doesn’t understand it and it’s not for him to tell another culture what to do. Great that they referred back to the hard lesson Piers had to learn on this. Murray is one of the brightest minds we have today and we’d do well to listen to him.
You're an absolute retard if you call this man a genius. The populace of the west is truly so dumbed down these days. Incredible that you weren't ashamed to post this hyperbole, even more incredible 8 zombies backed you up. Clown
Douglas Murray is a ray of sunshine. "I can't spend any more of my life being upset by morons". Essentially why I gave up listening to the BBC about a decade ago.
I really appreciate Douglas Murray's point of view. He probably wouldn't call it courageous but I appreciate his courage to speak on the topics that are contraversial. He is so well spoken and thoughtful.
@@parko1965 Anyone who doesn't carry the "card" - in his case, and by his own admission being gay. He gets away with speaking truth that in the UK might put a pregnant mother (yes - it happened) in jail.
@@123prestolee Yes, I agree but also would like to see him 10 or 20 years from now. Burning himself in the fury of current fires might not be in the best interest of future endeavour. Everyone with a tongue is tackling this recent shit-show, so from a tactical perspective I'd prefer to see one of our big guns brace himself for the inevitable insanity "they" have in store for us. Is the Doug "controlled opposition"? I surely hope not.
Unfortunately no one’s always great.. even Douglas holds views that on its face clash with perspectives he has on other views. His position on animal welfare for example. Not great.
@@antitheistvegan Sure hope you're not typing your comment on an electronic device that uses cobalt mined by literal slaves in the Congo to put forth something to inherently trite.
I love Douglases opinion on immigration. If I moved to France, I’d try to be as ‘French’ as possible. You can’t come here and start trying to instigate a protest against progressive laws. We should be able to ridicule religions since they are ridiculous.
Can you make a video explaining how bigginers can make huge a profit within a short period of time? I was at a seminar and the host spoke about making well over $880,000 within 4 months of investing $150,000. I just need to know how
Most people stay poor only because they got discouraged by friends and relatives who stopped them against investing and trading crypto currency while the wise ones kept on investing in cryptocurrency and growing higher financially
I adore Murray, one of my very favorite humans. He is a treasure and one of the most important intellectuals in the world. A spokesman for all the good of Western Culture. Love you all.
Douglas Murray made a very good point; instead of dying your hair find another way to be interesting. Just imagine if the individuals who ran around trying to figure out which victim group best represented them instead expended that energy and focus on developing actual personality/intellect/emotional skills? Now THAT would make the world interesting 😂😂
Add the flipping baldilocks (baldies)! Are they pretending to be prison camp victims (or just prisoners) or cancer victims? Go flush your bald head in a sewer (preferably not on earth).
PJ O'Rourke once said " if you're a bit out of the ordinary you try to blend in. The opposite is also true: if I see someone walking down the street with dyed hair and facial piercings I know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person "
I only really found out who Douglas Murray was about three months ago and honestly: I wish I knew about him sooner. He is a fascinating human being with a wonderful way of thinking. So happy you had him on. Very great interview.
I needed that, Douglas. Writers, write. Stop worrying about the bellowing on Twitter and get on with it. This very tired writer needed this reminder and encouragement.
Oh sure he does. Depends on what you mean by "left" and in what country you want to look for such a person. You do realize that in the USA, Douglas himself has a few talking points in common with the "right" at the moment, but he isn't exactly someone who would fit in at a MAGA rally. Apart from Muslim nations, nearly all countries are more 'left' than the US, whose "liberal democrats" are quaintly conservative by European and Asian standards, and likely some South American standards as well but I know too little about the political climate there to make any bold statements.
Yes the teacher who was entirely left out in the cold by all the establishment still really annoys me today when it's just mentioned. The Government should have stepped in, the police should have got rid of the protesters, the teachers should have supported him in fact he was let down by everyone, cowards all!
There is no other (currently living) public intellectual as brilliant as DM in my opinion. Coupled with his sharp humor & turn of phrase, it’s truly such a refreshing and engaging experience to both learn from, & laugh with him, during incisive and thoughtful interviews such as this. Well done lads & fair play for wrangling the great man on again 👍👏
For the first time in my long life, I fear that the US could collapse in my lifetime. And it will be just as we have always said... It will fall from within.
Could happen any day since 1776. From the British perspective it already did happen. I have lived with H-bombs all my life. Democrats tried to end the US in 1860 ... and still try every year since.
Abraham Lincoln said in 1838 that if all the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa invaded America they will fail they will be stopped, he said if America falls and is destroyed it'll be from within, and sadly that's what's happening now 🤔 God bless America don't throw it all away 😔🇬🇧🇺🇸
The story of the woman seeing her torturer on the street really hit home. The same thing happened to my 82 year old cousin. Same cousin told me he wears dentures because they knock out your teeth before they torture you so you don't bite off your tongue. They needed you to confess.
I understand when Douglas says he can't bear the murderers to be the men of peace. Northern Ireland was a civil war that should not have happened if civil rights had been given. Civil wars are extremely violent one on one as this was, no one escapes it. Wrong place wrong time could be deadly to all. Innocent people pay the price and 186 innocent children including babies were murdered in the troubles, republicans responsible for 43% and loyalist and British army responsible for 53%. Douglas seems to attribute most of it to the republicans and seems a little bitter about it. Maybe his friends are loyalists. All sides in that were to blame but it is usually the men of violence that come to the peace table and dictate terms. For the most part peace is there now of a kind anyway. In all conflicts its usually the men of violence who dictate terms and write the history. Once upon a time in Northern ireland, lost lives and lost voices are three programs from the peoples point of view with very little political overtones in them, and maybe a clearer view
Fantastic to watch two excellent interviewers allowing their guest to answer their questions. DM was characteristically good of course but the hosts allowing him to speak was a perfect interview. Well done. 👏 ✔️ 👍 👌 😀
I just adore Douglas. And that line about gay men and asexuals 😂 YES. I have told people to not include me in the LGBTQ Etc as my sexuality is a *lack* of sexuality. It is very different lol
Great video, trading come with a lot of benefits And I have just bought my first house through it. As a beginner I was scared of loosing my savings but I'm glad I took the bold step that is now favoring me.
Okay but is not luck, is all about having good investment plans most of all trading with a trust worthy expert. Watching professional trading videos and most especially connecting with the right person the digital world is full of in unreal people I met some of them during my success journey. I felt same way when I started especially when you use demo account you might be winning but when you put in real money you start losing I understand and I pass through it all. I'm very happy I'm profitable now.
I’m a heterosexual Douglas, I can’t sire a child, I’ve had operations to see if it could be rectified, sadly nothing was successful. But I concur with your sentiment. You get on with life and be happy that others have children. I have faith, not fanatic, and am a positive character. Life is for living and not imposed. But the future threat that the WEF, EU, UN, WHO are intent on imposing a life upon me, scares me at the age of 75, I fear my wish to be left alone will be refused, I will be forced to take medical treatments I don’t want nor need, I will be prevented from travel, eating healthy meats, eggs and fish that our dna prefers, and taxed and fined out of my ability to sustain my wish to be free and live my life as a free man !
I once heard a similar story to the woman who met her torturer in Eastern Europe (given that he ran when he saw her, I guess she was somewhere like Romania, where the regime was forcibly removed). It reminded me of an interview I once saw with victims of the East German STASI. One of the men they interviewed was employed in a shopping centre (selling luxury goods), when his torturer came in as a customer. Not only did he recognize him, but the former torturer clearly took pleasure in seeing his victim relive his memories and losing his composure (the guy didn't seem particularly strong-minded, the stereotypical effeminate gay type). And the worst thing was that he not only received no moral backing from his manager, but the former torturer started returning frequently when he was on shift, terrorising him regularly. Only very few of the STASI criminals were held accountable, even most of the people who shot their countrymen for trying to escape the open-air prison that was socialist East Germany never faced charges. Some STASI offices were simply turned into HQs of fellowships/organisations of former STASI agents. This is what happens when you let criminals get away with their crimes for the sake of "peace". You'd think Germany, having done a reasonably good job confronting their WWII past, would know this and have taken it into account when writing the unification terms. I bet there are similar stories throughout Northern Ireland, which simply won't get told. The British media is happy to cover up injustices if it serves their political ends, as seen with the grooming scandals.
I couldn't wait when I saw this one was dropping! Love from Florida! 💘🙏🏻 Don't believe the Media. Florida is were socialism and secularism go to die. It's a great place to live, work and raise kids. My son is biracial and killing it here. There is no prejudice anywhere we go.
I’m a nurse in the the USA. 6 months ago I told my cousin from Oxford who is a Bio-Chemist working in Germany what was happening to American teenagers in regard to Transgender. He said I was crazy and they would never do it because it would shorten their lives! I haven’t spoken to him since!
Murray is exceptional and owes a great debt to the mentorship of the late Roger Scruton. No one has articulated the values of Western aesthetics better than Scruton. This is mental armor Murray wears to combat our current decay.
"If you don't understand our society, get out of it, leave, we're not losing anything". Yes, that's exactly the way to put it. Politicians and pundits should say it that way and not preface it first with how much they love the richness of diversity.
My greatest fear about AI is that we are going to make ourselves dependent on it and will hand it too much control. That has got to end badly for ourselves.
It's worse than that. If you follow the singularity they talk about how right now you can get a computer with all the processing power of a human brain. The next evolutionary step will be getting a computer that has the processing of ALL the human brains... 8 billion brain-power in one desktop. And AI will be able to utilize thousands of these, or more, and have all our knowledge.... so infinite thinking power. This can only end in our annihilation.
Nowadays, a phone is an appendage which hasn’t been implanted… yet. And if, for example, you believe everything you read on Wikipedia is true, you are been controlled by AI already.
Confirmed, the only thing worse then having a liberal lecture us about our guns is someone with a foreign accent, particularly British, lecturing us about our guns.
I can't help but think of the late Christopher Hitchens sometimes when I listen to Douglas. Not in a political sense but in the deep sense of a mind worth listening to, whether I agree or not about the particular topic.
😂 how can you NOT love Douglas ! We have Very opposing view on some key issues but that doesn’t mean I can’t see an appreciate his intelligence, wit and charisma ! Douglas for PM! 27:24
It is the National Disgrace that the innocent teacher remains unsupported and threatened in the face of the rules of Islam, which should not be allowed to operate in the UK. Do education authorities monitor the teaching in UK madrassas?
When Hitch left us I feared we would never again see his equal, but I think Douglas Murray would have made him proud. I'm incredibly grateful for this splendid man.
Your point is well taken, but Hitchens was a lion when confronting Islam; or any religion for that matter. I’m not so sure that Douglas cares to go that far (not that I fault him).
@@lifemasterkris1865Douglas Murray was on the front lines taking it to Islam. How it's not compatible with western society, dude isn't weak on that issue.
Incredible how the average European brain has not gained a single ounce of intelligence since the year 2000 Truly a dead culture. You're bringing up Hitchens in 2023. Pro Bush pro Iraq war Hitchens, in 2023, as a standard. Utter retard brain. The west does not deserve it's standing nor do it's citizens deserve freedom. This level of stupidity and nihilism deserves slavery and subjugation alone.
Douglas in great form as ever .. loved the metaphor of shovelling your way through piles of stinking horse shit ... that's genuinely what some things feel like these days ... made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣
I'm a classic liberal (FDR-JFK) and while I don't agree with some of Murry's views, I find that I agree with most of them. He's an interesting man and I enjoy listening to him.
As an asexual I would say you've got something wrong: All human interactions are not about sex. So we can still enjoy meeting new people eventhough we might not want to have sex with them..😉
Love Douglas. I think the whole “I get away with things others don’t” caper is because people are scared to debate/disagree with him as they invariably end up looking stupid.
I absolutely love Douglas Murray, I could listen to him talk for hours… he always has something interesting to say, and is so intelligent. It would be great to sit around at a dinner table, having a few wines, with Douglas… 😁
Ai is like any tool, it can be used well or be abused. Sadly most technology is in the hands of those who always abuse it. The ambitious and the fearful.
the major difference is a sufficiently adapted spanner wont eventually have an opinion on what it will and wont be willing to do.. An A.I will likely lead to an A.G.I at some point, with it no doubt progressing onto an A.S.I after that if left unchecked.. at which point its not the tool to be used by anyone..at that point the role will reverse and your dealing with a hyper intelligent machine that's smarter and more capable that we can ever match.. At that point you better hope its relatively benign to humanity as it wont be following orders anymore..
It's insecurity that makes people rage against facts, as though they're being personally attacked by them. There are people who can't live with hearing a single thing they don't like, because they're unsure of the control they have over their own lives

@@l3358 That's just because it works from existing human texts, and there is far more Woke text available than pre-Woke or anti-Woke text. The AI itself has no "feelings" about Wokism one way or the other.
@DieFlabbergast I'm sure you're right. makes sense. Woke Code was wrong. I get your point though, if its sourcing data from institutions of authority, its going to produce those results based on those parameters. still, it's not great if everyone relies on it as a source of truth. It's clearly partisan with some of the results it produces based on how it works.
Love Douglas, a voice of solid gold British sanity and intelligence in a crazy world 😀
This guy's gotta be related to Simon cowbell in some way
Sorry cowell😂
I am British but live in the French speaking part of Switzerland. I am happy to say that although everyone is aware of the LGBTQ trend, people here don't feel they are required to censor their own speech. It feels as though the British culture is just spiralling out of control into a direction that simply makes no sense at all. Douglas Murray is always a sober voice hopefully reminding some people that its okay to be normal!!!!
Why do you think that is, that Switzerland hasnt been effected
It’s on its way all over Europe. I read somewhere that the language needs to develop before it spreads into other cultures than the anglo world. Germany is certainly spearheading the spread into the German speaking world.
Switzerland is small-town though. I can say that France is similar to the U.K. in its wokeness.
Just wait. There's a reason Americans call it the "woke mind *virus*". It spreads like a pandemic.
It's so liberal here in Portland that my pastor's hair is turning green instead of gray.
Douglas is effortlessly witty
Very edgy, very very cool 😂 👍
It only appears effortless. You're not seeing all the hard work it took to become Douglas Murray.
As was Hitch.
I like him but I think the exaggerated British accent can be mistaken for wit.
On the point of victimhood. As a grand child of holocaust survivors I have noticed that one of the greatest indicators of a trauma victim is the inability to see themselves as a victim since it is too difficult to process the emotions and still carry on. Whereas those claiming to be victims are often highly incapable of taking responsibility.....
That would likely be a coping mechanism as you wonderfully illustrated. Good note and acknowledgment. I will be the devils advocate and say people can still be victims and self aware of their turmoil, you just tend to see it more rarely i think. Usually when you think you see it, it’s someone masquerading for attention.
I guess I say all that to say there are true victims who could technically fall under the self-victimization umbrella and abusers often use this as a stigma against them to maintain their victimization by getting them to distance from how bad things actually are. It can go from coping to control fairly quickly.
That is very deep
True.
So true. It has taken me 50 years to speak about why I ran away from home. The slander of my mother and father telling everyone that I was pregnant. I was an Honor student . A teen Olympic contender. First time recipient of a Title IX award from the First Lady. I was in the band, an artist, a California State wide science award winner. But I could not cope with the trauma of my new Dad's lesbian daughter trying to force herself on me night after night. I became sleep deprived running out of my room at 2am because she would cone home high and drunk and force her way into my bedroom. I just didn't know what to say to my mother and my new Dad. They knew something was wrong. I asked my grandparents to live with them , but I didn't tell them about the sexual assaults. My parents were enraged, flipping out on me screaming at me, " ..you are not going to make me look like a bad parent by leaving.." I was strangled and slammed up against a stone wall. I was only interested in always being the very best person, athlete, scholar , daughter that I could be. I was only 14. When traumatized the last thing I ever wanted was to be seen as a victim, so you just get on with living.
What a wonderful treat, listening to this man, always is.
Douglas is just the best. Probably the most interesting person to listen to now that Hitch is gone. I appreciate his very poignant take on guns in America. He’s one of the only people that admits he doesn’t understand it and it’s not for him to tell another culture what to do. Great that they referred back to the hard lesson Piers had to learn on this. Murray is one of the brightest minds we have today and we’d do well to listen to him.
I think that, debating Hitch, would have been good for Douglas.
"If you want humor, read Dostoevsky." Now that is a great joke.

Love Douglas and his comedic take on everything. His dry brittish humor is brilliant!
Douglas Murray is a ray of sunshine. "I can't spend any more of my life being upset by morons". Essentially why I gave up listening to the BBC about a decade ago.
He is not disgusting unlike sarahhewittclarkson #lgbtprotestbirmimgham
I really appreciate Douglas Murray's point of view. He probably wouldn't call it courageous but I appreciate his courage to speak on the topics that are contraversial. He is so well spoken and thoughtful.
Erm, he held is tongue on Convid - as someone who appreciates him, I was bitterly disappointed.
Controversial, to whom?
@@parko1965 Anyone who doesn't carry the "card" - in his case, and by his own admission being gay. He gets away with speaking truth that in the UK might put a pregnant mother (yes - it happened) in jail.
@@123prestolee Yes, I agree but also would like to see him 10 or 20 years from now. Burning himself in the fury of current fires might not be in the best interest of future endeavour. Everyone with a tongue is tackling this recent shit-show, so from a tactical perspective I'd prefer to see one of our big guns brace himself for the inevitable insanity "they" have in store for us.
Is the Doug "controlled opposition"? I surely hope not.
@@jamesportrais3946 Or a RUclipsr whose girlfriend's dog made nazi references as a joke.
Douglas is always a top-tier guest for me. Have him on any time!
Douglas is always great
He is the absolute best.
Particularly in an informal setting like this, he had me laughing out loud as well as nodding along.
Unfortunately no one’s always great.. even Douglas holds views that on its face clash with perspectives he has on other views. His position on animal welfare for example. Not great.
@@antitheistvegan Sure hope you're not typing your comment on an electronic device that uses cobalt mined by literal slaves in the Congo to put forth something to inherently trite.

Douglas Murray. What a wordsmith.
I love Douglases opinion on immigration. If I moved to France, I’d try to be as ‘French’ as possible. You can’t come here and start trying to instigate a protest against progressive laws. We should be able to ridicule religions since they are ridiculous.
So did Philippe Petain😊
Can you make a video explaining how bigginers can make huge a profit within a short period of time?
I was at a seminar and the host spoke about making well over $880,000 within 4 months of investing $150,000. I just need to know how
Investing in cryptocurrency is very cool expecialy when you're able to predict the market fluctuation
Mrs Rebecca Catherine is one of the best trader I've ever work with in the past few years she knows the best to deal with whatever market situation
That’s true I've never seen or heard any of her clients complain of lost I think she's so good when it's comes to investment
My first experience with her gave me the assurance that has made me to invest without fear of loosing and I got four of my friends involved with her.
Most people stay poor only because they got discouraged by friends and relatives who stopped them against investing and trading crypto currency while the wise ones kept on investing in cryptocurrency and growing higher financially
Pumped for listening to Douglas!
Lol he's good. Always keep our own dignity ✊🤘
@@piping9153 Good.
I adore Murray, one of my very favorite humans. He is a treasure and one of the most important intellectuals in the world. A spokesman for all the good of Western Culture. Love you all.
Douglas is an absolute Joy ❤ like a character from an Evelyn Waugh novel but with a laser-sharp intellect and dry sardonic wit ... simply adore him
Yes! Would fit brilliantly into a Brideshead dinner party :)
well if that's the case let's hope he gets a little less stuffy and can escape to the South Pacific
@michaellorenzen8200 go read up on Nietsche's concept of Resentment, you'll benefit greatly from it .......
Douglas Murray made a very good point; instead of dying your hair find another way to be interesting. Just imagine if the individuals who ran around trying to figure out which victim group best represented them instead expended that energy and focus on developing actual personality/intellect/emotional skills? Now THAT would make the world interesting 😂😂
It's an amusing, self fulfilling prophecy, I avoid interaction with people with brightly coloured hair 😅
Add the flipping baldilocks (baldies)!
Are they pretending to be prison camp victims (or just prisoners) or cancer victims?
Go flush your bald head in a sewer (preferably not on earth).
PJ O'Rourke once said " if you're a bit out of the ordinary you try to blend in. The opposite is also true: if I see someone walking down the street with dyed hair and facial piercings I know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person "
Love me some Douglas, I've just finished his book "The war on the West" it's fantastic 👍 love from Liverpool ♥️🇬🇧😜
I only really found out who Douglas Murray was about three months ago and honestly: I wish I knew about him sooner. He is a fascinating human being with a wonderful way of thinking. So happy you had him on. Very great interview.
I needed that, Douglas. Writers, write. Stop worrying about the bellowing on Twitter and get on with it. This very tired writer needed this reminder and encouragement.
Douglas Murray’s observations are always interesting and worth listening to.
Love Douglas Murray. Never misses the mark!
There’s no such thing as too much Douglas Murray ❤️
Douglas is a true intellectual, he has no equivalet on the left
Oh sure he does. Depends on what you mean by "left" and in what country you want to look for such a person. You do realize that in the USA, Douglas himself has a few talking points in common with the "right" at the moment, but he isn't exactly someone who would fit in at a MAGA rally. Apart from Muslim nations, nearly all countries are more 'left' than the US, whose "liberal democrats" are quaintly conservative by European and Asian standards, and likely some South American standards as well but I know too little about the political climate there to make any bold statements.
@@limlaithby Asian standards, really?

@@richardleonori9345 You've got to be kidding. Did you see Sam's last Triggernometry episode?

Douglas is a good man. Very intelligent and reasonable.
Yes the teacher who was entirely left out in the cold by all the establishment still really annoys me today when it's just mentioned. The Government should have stepped in, the police should have got rid of the protesters, the teachers should have supported him in fact he was let down by everyone, cowards all!
There is no other (currently living) public intellectual as brilliant as DM in my opinion. Coupled with his sharp humor & turn of phrase, it’s truly such a refreshing and engaging experience to both learn from, & laugh with him, during incisive and thoughtful interviews such as this. Well done lads & fair play for wrangling the great man on again 👍👏
Douglas Murray!! Yes!!!
Always a pleasure to listen to Douglas Murray bringing sanity kicking and screaming, back into the public conversation.
This has to be one of the most entertaining and endearing conversations I’ve heard on social media in years.
As always, a profound pleasure to hear what Douglas Murray has to say about current affairs. Thanks for bringing him back!
For the first time in my long life, I fear that the US could collapse in my lifetime. And it will be just as we have always said... It will fall from within.
Could happen any day since 1776. From the British perspective it already did happen. I have lived with H-bombs all my life. Democrats tried to end the US in 1860 ... and still try every year since.
Abraham Lincoln said in 1838 that if all the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa invaded America they will fail they will be stopped, he said if America falls and is destroyed it'll be from within, and sadly that's what's happening now 🤔 God bless America don't throw it all away 😔🇬🇧🇺🇸
@@davehallett810 Amen to that! I, for one, haven't given up. Seeing the writing on the wall has only made me more determined.
That's how all empires collapse, from the rot within.
@@mariajoseasbury8450 Rot is natural, over here we call it composting. From that new fruitful life comes.
The story of the woman seeing her torturer on the street really hit home. The same thing happened to my 82 year old cousin. Same cousin told me he wears dentures because they knock out your teeth before they torture you so you don't bite off your tongue. They needed you to confess.
I understand when Douglas says he can't bear the murderers to be the men of peace. Northern Ireland was a civil war that should not have happened if civil rights had been given. Civil wars are extremely violent one on one as this was, no one escapes it. Wrong place wrong time could be deadly to all. Innocent people pay the price and 186 innocent children including babies were murdered in the troubles, republicans responsible for 43% and loyalist and British army responsible for 53%. Douglas seems to attribute most of it to the republicans and seems a little bitter about it. Maybe his friends are loyalists. All sides in that were to blame but it is usually the men of violence that come to the peace table and dictate terms. For the most part peace is there now of a kind anyway. In all conflicts its usually the men of violence who dictate terms and write the history. Once upon a time in Northern ireland, lost lives and lost voices are three programs from the peoples point of view with very little political overtones in them, and maybe a clearer view
Always a pleasure seeing Douglas. Thank you lads!
He is such a joy to listen to. From the sound of his voice, his eloquence, his opinions to his wit, it's all such a marvellous package.
Admire/Love this man. Utmost respect for him
Fantastic to watch two excellent interviewers allowing their guest to answer their questions. DM was characteristically good of course but the hosts allowing him to speak was a perfect interview. Well done. 👏 ✔️ 👍 👌 😀

"I can't spend any more of my life being upset by morons." I think we could all learn a lot from Douglas Murray's attitude to life

Douglas is so articulate and light hearted. Great combination.
Douglas Murray - such a talented, beautiful soul human being... Speaking truth with common sense, courage and wisdom. And humor helps a lot too!🙂❤️
Beautiful soul ?? He sneers at nearly anyone
Great video, trading come with a lot of benefits And I have just bought my first house through it. As a beginner I was scared of loosing my savings but I'm glad I took the bold step that is now favoring me.
Congratulations 🎉
Okay but is not luck, is all about having good investment plans most of all trading with a trust worthy expert. Watching professional trading videos and most especially connecting with the right person the digital world is full of in unreal people I met some of them during my success journey. I felt same way when I started especially when you use demo account you might be winning but when you put in real money you start losing I understand and I pass through it all. I'm very happy I'm profitable now.
I can relate to all you said because I am facing similar thing right now. Congratulations I wish you more success.

The "it's deeply weird" comment about lgbtqia+ has me dying from laughter.
Douglas is so charming, I feel entranced by him
His book the Madness of Crowds was amazing. Brutal. Raw. Honest. Take no prisoners. I loved it.
I’m a heterosexual Douglas, I can’t sire a child, I’ve had operations to see if it could be rectified, sadly nothing was successful. But I concur with your sentiment. You get on with life and be happy that others have children. I have faith, not fanatic, and am a positive character. Life is for living and not imposed. But the future threat that the WEF, EU, UN, WHO are intent on imposing a life upon me, scares me at the age of 75, I fear my wish to be left alone will be refused, I will be forced to take medical treatments I don’t want nor need, I will be prevented from travel, eating healthy meats, eggs and fish that our dna prefers, and taxed and fined out of my ability to sustain my wish to be free and live my life as a free man !
The fact that British citizens need to worry about Muslim retribution from people in their own country is DISGUSTING.
I once heard a similar story to the woman who met her torturer in Eastern Europe (given that he ran when he saw her, I guess she was somewhere like Romania, where the regime was forcibly removed).
It reminded me of an interview I once saw with victims of the East German STASI. One of the men they interviewed was employed in a shopping centre (selling luxury goods), when his torturer came in as a customer.
Not only did he recognize him, but the former torturer clearly took pleasure in seeing his victim relive his memories and losing his composure (the guy didn't seem particularly strong-minded, the stereotypical effeminate gay type). And the worst thing was that he not only received no moral backing from his manager, but the former torturer started returning frequently when he was on shift, terrorising him regularly.
Only very few of the STASI criminals were held accountable, even most of the people who shot their countrymen for trying to escape the open-air prison that was socialist East Germany never faced charges. Some STASI offices were simply turned into HQs of fellowships/organisations of former STASI agents. This is what happens when you let criminals get away with their crimes for the sake of "peace". You'd think Germany, having done a reasonably good job confronting their WWII past, would know this and have taken it into account when writing the unification terms.
I bet there are similar stories throughout Northern Ireland, which simply won't get told. The British media is happy to cover up injustices if it serves their political ends, as seen with the grooming scandals.
Douglas Murray is so awesome
I couldn't wait when I saw this one was dropping! Love from Florida! 💘🙏🏻 Don't believe the Media. Florida is were socialism and secularism go to die. It's a great place to live, work and raise kids. My son is biracial and killing it here. There is no prejudice anywhere we go.
I’m a nurse in the the USA. 6 months ago I told my cousin from Oxford who is a Bio-Chemist working in Germany what was happening to American teenagers in regard to Transgender. He said I was crazy and they would never do it because it would shorten their lives! I haven’t spoken to him since!
Never transition them?
Always a good day when Triggernometry has Douglas on. ❤️
Murray is exceptional and owes a great debt to the mentorship of the late Roger Scruton. No one has articulated the values of Western aesthetics better than Scruton. This is mental armor Murray wears to combat our current decay.
"If you don't understand our society, get out of it, leave, we're not losing anything". Yes, that's exactly the way to put it. Politicians and pundits should say it that way and not preface it first with how much they love the richness of diversity.
My greatest fear about AI is that we are going to make ourselves dependent on it and will hand it too much control.
That has got to end badly for ourselves.
To some extent this has happened with the internet..
It's worse than that. If you follow the singularity they talk about how right now you can get a computer with all the processing power of a human brain. The next evolutionary step will be getting a computer that has the processing of ALL the human brains... 8 billion brain-power in one desktop. And AI will be able to utilize thousands of these, or more, and have all our knowledge.... so infinite thinking power. This can only end in our annihilation.
@@grannyannie2948 True. We did so with a lot of things, but AI will take it to a level never seen before.
Nowadays, a phone is an appendage which hasn’t been implanted… yet. And if, for example, you believe everything you read on Wikipedia is true, you are been controlled by AI already.
Technology frees us and enchains us simultaneously. Look at mobile phones. It's going to be inveitable with Ai
Confirmed, the only thing worse then having a liberal lecture us about our guns is someone with a foreign accent, particularly British, lecturing us about our guns.

The more I hear Douglas Murray the more I like him. Straight talking and honest about how he feels about a subject.
I can't help but think of the late Christopher Hitchens sometimes when I listen to Douglas. Not in a political sense but in the deep sense of a mind worth listening to, whether I agree or not about the particular topic.
😂 how can you NOT love Douglas ! We have Very opposing view on some key issues but that doesn’t mean I can’t see an appreciate his intelligence, wit and charisma ! Douglas for PM! 27:24
It is the National Disgrace that the innocent teacher remains unsupported and threatened in the face of the rules of Islam, which should not be allowed to operate in the UK. Do education authorities monitor the teaching in UK madrassas?
It's not that Doug Murray is a fighter, it's always HOW he fights. The clarity and stealth of his punches are more often than not, lethal.
He's got a point about people in the south. Native Texan here, hands off our guns, traditions and opinions.
When Hitch left us I feared we would never again see his equal, but I think Douglas Murray would have made him proud. I'm incredibly grateful for this splendid man.
Your point is well taken, but Hitchens was a lion when confronting Islam; or any religion for that matter. I’m not so sure that Douglas cares to go that far (not that I fault him).
They were friends

I'm a classic liberal (FDR-JFK) and while I don't agree with some of Murry's views, I find that I agree with most of them. He's an interesting man and I enjoy listening to him.
Douglas leads the anti woke fight back. Such profound common sense, razor sharp rhetoric. Good on yer Douglas, count me in.
Thanks for a great interview ❤
why can't Douglas be our PM, just think how great this country would be !!
As an asexual I would say you've got something wrong: All human interactions are not about sex. So we can still enjoy meeting new people eventhough we might not want to have sex with them..😉
Love Douglas. I think the whole “I get away with things others don’t” caper is because people are scared to debate/disagree with him as they invariably end up looking stupid.
I absolutely love Douglas Murray, I could listen to him talk for hours… he always has something interesting to say, and is so intelligent.

Uh not that guy again. Why don't you invite proper academics?
Ai is like any tool, it can be used well or be abused. Sadly most technology is in the hands of those who always abuse it. The ambitious and the fearful.
Well you dont have to wonder, look at what Internet did to society and you'll get some idea what AI will bring
the major difference is a sufficiently adapted spanner wont eventually have an opinion on what it will and wont be willing to do..
An A.I will likely lead to an A.G.I at some point, with it no doubt progressing onto an A.S.I after that if left unchecked.. at which point its not the tool to be used by anyone..at that point the role will reverse and your dealing with a hyper intelligent machine that's smarter and more capable that we can ever match.. At that point you better hope its relatively benign to humanity as it wont be following orders anymore..
The ambitious, the fearful, the college student saying, "Hey, I wonder what this can do..."

It's insecurity that makes people rage against facts, as though they're being personally attacked by them. There are people who can't live with hearing a single thing they don't like, because they're unsure of the control they have over their own lives
