@David Shaw no laughing stock. It takes guts and courage to go up against the globalists. Lesser nations would have bent over and carried on taking ut up the ass.
Yes, he makes lucid and effective arguments against parts of the modern radical "left" but go listen to his positions on Julian Assange. He's a bootlicking stooge. No integrity at all.
@@dave9547Assange needs to face court and the consequences of his actions .. that’s what he said about Bradley manning that supplied him the materials.. Bradley knew what he was doing and the risks he was taking .. he had no sympathy or empathy for the guy ., .. many human rights lawyers will be willing to represent Julian .. be a man and face the music 🎵
Unlike so many other public speakers, Douglas Murray is getting stronger and more eloquent with years. The British tradition is well worth preserving but it takes minds like his and they are few and far apart.
Douglas Murray is everything intellectually that his opponents are not - and that speaks volumes as to their inadequacy to speak a coherent counterpoint of any genuine value. Long may he wipe his feet upon their embarrassing tantrums.
Once upon a time there was a story of a young guy who considered his dad an idiot. Coming back home after years of studying the young man was surprised how wise his father become. That's not the case anymore it seems.
Same. Hes one of the few people where I'll hit 'like' on the video before I've even watched it purely because the more likes the video has the more it'll circulate.
Imagine if he was one of our politicians oooof, nah, that would be too good nothing like that ever happens. He'd legit be the best world leader if I had to pick one.
When we have time to reflect now. What did the last USA president do in the 8 yes, gave lots of money to Isis, and started race and religious unrest. He called Christians easter worshiper, and said Islam, I mean really Islam a religion of peace, we know well their history. But just becoz he was brown does not negate his sin. And sin spread to all men, God does not care about colour, he cares that you are humble and willing to live together in peace. Nobody gives a dam what colour you are.

@@gongagong Thanks I read it. Not the official version is it ? It reminds me of the Gurkas being conned into coming to Britain only to find themselves stuck around Folkestone, dreams in tatters. They thought they were coming to something very different.
The beauty of the internet is whatever he says exists forever. People are discovering Yuri Bezmenovs interview 40 years after he gave it and 30 years after he died because it appeared in a game trailer.
How refreshing!! In an era when ignorance and stupidity have become the new virtues, there are people like Douglas Murray and Peter Hitchens who can lend a sensible and common sense perspective to any debate. A true antidote to the "Madness of crowds"
I'm a US citizen who has spent several months in urban/rural Australia. In the US, political diversity is not our strength. We are so fractionalized that consensus agreement on even minor topics is nigh impossible. Our public education system has trained recent generations that America (and western civilization) is more bad than good, more selfish than giving, more oppressive and error-prone than freedom-loving and corrective. The obsession with racial/ethnic identity with all historical grievances in tow doesn't build a nation, it dismantles it. Don't make the same mistakes.
Trust me! Read more of Hitchens, look at most of his opinions. He would not have been particularly good on a lot of things. He was a more or less lifelong (right till the end) a full blown Marxist. As well as a Blairite war-monger.
Yes, he makes lucid and effective arguments against parts of the modern radical "left" but go listen to his positions on Julian Assange. He's a bootlicking stooge. No integrity at all.
His comments on the reversal of Martin Luther King’s “content of their character” espousal were cogent if ultimately heartbreaking. I would like to send this dialogue to every “woke” person I know, but I no longer trust how truth will be received. Mr. Murray is dead on, fearless and a truly original thinker. Perhaps there is yet hope!
@@petermathieson5692 oof, excellent question. I would say that if you manage to destroy all of it, along with imprisoning and otherwise assassinating the character of all who were involved, then you definitely get to claim they were a cult, because they can't fight back, and because that way you completely justify your tyranny against them.
My grandparents and great-grandparents were Highland crofters, born and bred. Generally, my ancestors would have been humble Highland peasants. During the notorious Highland Clearances, many would have been evicted from their homes and left to perish if they couldn't survive the terrifying rigours involved. NONE of my ancestors EVER killed, oppressed or enslaved anyone, except possibly in the course of organised clan violence against other Highlanders or other Brits, if you were to go back many centuries. Some of my ancestors might, however, have lived in terror of themselves being murdered or enslaved by the BARBARY PIRATES from North Africa who kidnapped vast numbers of Europeans, not least from the British Isles. Many societies RIGHT AROUND the world - NOT JUST EUROPEANS - have engaged in the utterly ABOMINABLE PRACTICE of slavery. Some in fact continue to do so to this very day. European societies are not distinguished in having engaged in slavery, but rather in having been the FIRST TO STOP. So why is it Britain that is constantly expected to apologise and re-apologise and keep on re-apologising for a practice we discontinued 200 years ago, with nobody apologising to Britain for all the British people they enslaved, and when other countries are still at it right now? Much as I abhor and detest ALL slavery and much as I sympathise with any actually enslaved person, dead or alive, I in fact have NO personal cause to apologise to any long dead slave. The past is the past. Let bygones be bygones. If, nevertheless, I were to start playing this ridiculous blame game, I could as well DEMAND apologies for my own long dead ancestors who may have lived in terror of being enslaved by the BARBARY PIRATES. In fact, policing British shores to thwart and deter such pirates would have been a serious financial expense to the entire country, and in a sense remains so to this very day. Enslaving pirates would soon return to these shores if Britain's glorious Royal Navy were ever to be scuppered. All this apologising nonsense is basically just a cynical ploy by those who wish Britain ill, to extract ever more money from us, at the expense ultimately of the most vulnerable elements in British society itself. Where's Britain's compensation for those British people kidnapped by the Barbary Pirates? Where's Britain's compensation on account of the Vikings and the Romans?
He really is the voice of reason and sanity in a mad world! We don't always appreciate the agenda's behind issues. He makes us stop and think. He also verifies my current thoughts on things. As people, were not daft. We see things for what they are, Douglas is just very good at articulating it and clarifying it.
Excellent case in point. They called the Wuhan lab theory a "conspiracy theory" straight out the gate. Even as the intelligence communities were investigating it.
My mom and I have been talking a lot about the unelected health officials too lately. These political leaders at the oval and state level might truly be scared, so whatever their top health official tells them, they are happy to go along with it. I asked my mom well what do we do? These people are unelected. And there lies the problem. You never know how someone is going salivate at the chance of having power that they never, ever thought they would have. And for a lot of them, there is no going back as long as they can help it.
I am full of admiration for DM's stamina. I find his ideas obviously correct, but its wears me out trying, even in my imagination, to argue with the nonsense so many idiots are feeding us now.
Something that you not have been aware of is in the American education system (including universities) is the lack of actual education (no real history or civics taught) but the indoctrination of race-ism, sexism, & veneration the ideas of Karl Marx.
I live in australia and filled a form in recently. Nothing strange about that except for when asked my sex, which is male and which I thought was the correct answer. As I have answered male for the last 60 years. I was given six opertions, none of the operations was male.
Me too! I, also, don’t care but am worried. Won’t they get stronger and stronger? Also, I’ve had some comments withheld on certain sites. Yes, to hell with them.
BLM can't separate the marxists & radicals, because it's probably 75% of their crowd or more. In addition, BLM isn't about the small handful of police brutality cases in the US. It's a reparations & black power movement under the softer terminology of "racial justice". The SJW's also want equality of outcome, in every sliver of society. Racial quotas for all businesses (gov't & private), handouts, more welfare, land, etc. Eventually their goal is to follow the blueprint of South Africa post apartheid.
What about Government overreach when it comes to telling a person what they can do with their body : such as vaccine mandates. I'm pro my body my choice as long as it's dispensed fairly. If it's acceptable for a woman to have an abortion ( and I'm pro choice) It should then be acceptable for a man to choose to not be a parent as well. If it's ok for you to kill it, then it's ok for me to abandon it. If it's ok for California to legalize it Maybe it should be ok for Texas to ban it.
Who do I need to contact ( and how) to make an active and relevant contribution and increase both reach and frequency of these insights which are capable of making a real difference ? Terry Davies 6:37
Just a thought from Book by Ralph Ellison ,"The Invisible Man, one of the plot themes was stereotype vs stereotype. Perhaps the reason Muslim Religion has flourished in Africa et al., a search for Identity.
Real like his thinking and i can understand what hes talking about GREAT MESSAGE I HAVE NEVER BEEN A CROWD CREATURE I LISTEN TO MANY TRUST VERY FEW QUESTION MOST
When they will do ANYTHING other than tell you the truth and/or present an honest, well-meaning candidate as their nominee for President of the United States, I would say its dangerous.
As a white working class europen citizen in London, UK, I can testify that there are plenty of racist and discriminatory atitudes and actions towards us across all sectors of society, especially the obvious ones concerning housing and work. That's why I am leaving. I had enough of anti western sentiment. The country have been run in the background as such and there are no real mechanisms in place to defend us. Europe has lost its identity. Europe is not an europe that is Europe as much as a China that is China or a Russia that is Russia.
I think Douglas it's taking the torch left by Cristopher Hitchens. I know... I know it's a bold statement. But he is a fearless, honest and brilliant brit voice... certainly Hitch comes to my memory.
Same here Liz, full of so called experts who have every answer to every question in life. I would sooner learn intelligently from the likes of Douglas Murray, Jordan Peterson etc.
Robin di Angelo is such a pious priest of the woke religion. Replace white privilege with sin and it’s undistinguishable from a catholic sermon. I don’t see the differentiation between cult and religion. A cult is where everyone circles around the savior and there is no salvation other than through them. In a religion that person is dead. Only difference
I don't agree with Everything at the end of Douglas Murray's thinking, but I love the way he gets there. A pleasure to hear him think out loud. He does need to accept the inert drivers of leftiness and rightiness though, you can be an intelligent and considered lefty (rare in these days).. And we can all get along just fine.
the only legitimate thing i will give the left is the ability to find out issues that need addressing... however, their intention is simply not to resolve the issue and move on, their intention is to utilise it and gain power for evil ends unfortunately
How can I know if I am a racist. Perhaps I am. I think I met a racist Indian the other day. Likewise I think I met some racist people in Yemen. I can not see what I should not also be a little racist. How can I know?
Complicating everything? You just have to look over any average research paper, coming out of academia now, and in all likelihood you won't understand a single paragraph.
to see examples of the contrary of the left in America see videos from Candace Owens of PragerU (available on youtube and PragerU.com). Meanwhile I applaud Douglas Murray and Menzies Research Center. I'm viewing from South Florida.
Ah yes soooo true unless you hold to the philosophy of Martin Luther (judged to the character of the person rather than the colour of your skin) or it's hell in regards race relations. Murray notes how disciples have now inverted M Luthers message and are saying the exact opposite that it's colour that matters most. For example, Robin DiAngelo who wrote 'White Fragility'. Yes it is dangerous and the content of what someone says needs to be investigated, whoever is the speaker!! Thanks Douglas for your common sense!
That book is grotesque. She is a self-confessed racist and justifies her racism with a racist idea - ie. that she ist not personally responsible for her racism (she actually describes her repulsion on seeing a group of black people!) but decides to blame her racism on her race, her 'whiteness'. Then she proposes a sort of solution that amounts to a new version of apartheid - yet even many black Americans fall for thos filthy facile, wholly racist garbage
The contemporary era has seen much talk of virtual signalling and very little on the actual virtues themselves. Try this test and fill in the blanks, with googling; faith, hope, charity, --------, -------, ---------, ----------. Ne timeas.
21:00 -- When DM identifies "Anarchism", I still have a great deal of skepticism for exactly what he means by it. Does he mean the self-proclaimed "Progressive" anarchists, or does he mean people who don't require rulers and prefer to think for themselves? There is no lack of RULES in human cultural exchange, Douglas. The RULERS are what most people ultimately find noxious and intolerable.
