The War on the West

For three books for you, two from colleagues that I have at The Spectator, The War on the West by Douglas Murray, I think is essential reading to understanding the perspective of conservatives both in America and Britain on the cultural battles that they see going on all around them.

I just bought a dumb book. I finished my Lafayette book. I didn't know what it was. I started reading that that was Douglas Murray was the gay guy.

Oh, I forgot about it. I used a credit on my amateur Douglas Murray the gay guy who Douglas Murray the guy who no Douglas Mary the gay guy who go the gay conservative dude who's like oh well, there's a chalet.

Yeah, I got Douglas Murray's book. So I didn't got the wrong guy. But this guy this books called the war on the West. I was learning about the Wild West.

It's like why the fuck's everyone mad about the West dude. No one cares about China. That's kind of racist. Like it's just it's literally just that Douglas.

Doug has been reading Douglas Murray's War on the West.

Think about that. How to prevail in the age of unreason. Don't you need that guide?

He gives an impassioned defense of Western culture, institutions and politics, and why it should not be a thought crime to still believe in and indeed defend them.

He's a hero and he will be featured in the War on the West Part Two.

White people are one of the first subjects of attack, a fact that has been steadily normalized and made into the only acceptable form of racism in the societies in which it happens.

This book will be, as I said about Madness of Crowds, this is my new Dianetics. This book will be an able guide to help them do that.

...and the war on the west 2022.

...you're trying to do that with your book The War on the West right it's like you see the assault on these values and you're attempting to resurrect those values.

The war as I do it bit by bit on Western history, a war on Western peoples, a war on Western culture, war on Western religion and philosophy.

This is a position that I argue that we've come to in the present age where everything is bad if it came from us, let me say, us in the West. And everything is good so long as it hasn't come from us.

I've just finished his latest book, which is not out yet. The war on the West.

And I try to show that I try to show for instance that the interpretation of say Thomas Jefferson or Winston Churchill or Abraham Lincoln, has actually become an assault based on the following premise that if we can take down Churchill we sort of can get to the roots of taking down British patriotism. If we get if we assault Abraham Lincoln we've essentially not and don't have Jefferson we've not just assaulted them we've actually assaulted something that is the absolute root of the American ideal.

There is a response to that just waiting to be said. So do you think do you think that the core values of the west are tenable and maintainable in the absence of the underlying religious substrate?

I wrote this book The War on the West which you and I discussed when it came out about 18 months ago.

Because I've covered all of this up close and got some pretty extraordinary camera footage of this, I wanted to present it to an audience to be able to show what I've seen and what I think of as the realities that I think a lot of people are running away from at the moment.

And since then there have been so many things that have happened, not least the 7th of October and the war that's followed.

the War on the West, where I talked about what was being taught to a generation.

the conclusion I came to was, and it actually was a followon from my previous book, The War on the West, where I talked about what was being taught to a generation. And as you know, one of the things I said in that book was, we are teaching young people born in the 21st century in America and the rest of the West that they are guilty by dint of being born here.

And I was thinking throughout this period, as I saw the protests in the West, I thought, why are these terms so familiar? Yeah. The conclusion I came to was, and it actually was a followon from my previous book, The War on the West, where I talked about what was being taught to a generation.

Douglas Murray's book, The War on the West, he's got this wonderful passage where he says you can stand in front of a painting, and you can look at it, and you can say, this peculiar blue pigment... and you can deconstruct it forever.

His latest publication is the war on the west in which douglas talks about how the western cultural elite have been undermining undermining the the traditions that made the west great in the first place

the point I make in the war on the west is that there has been this insane attempt to war on all of our foundations in the western democracies a war on our religious traditions our philosophical traditions our Historical traditions an attempt to pull down every single one of our heroes in the west sometimes quite literally

so douglas you talk in the war in the west about on the west about the institutions that have been attacked by these members of the radical left and those institutions range from things like the ability to to reason and have conversations to the church.

The book again is the war on the west douglas murray is the author

For all the years that we've been talking about all of this stuff that now is known as wokeism which you write about, obviously, but all of the culture wars and all of the things that are happening, should we have been yelling louder, say, seven years ago

I think it was going to happen no matter what.

one day the barbarians will be at the gate and we'll be debating what gender pronouns to call them.

there was a sort of, for instance, there was a conservative idea which was mistaken, which many people including myself had in recent years, which was, for instance, that things like the critical race theory, the intersectionality, all of this crap, that it would stop at the borders of the STEM subjects.

If the bridges come down now, it'll be because we live in a cis-heteronormative patriarchal racist society, which has institutional racism, which is why the bridge fell down.
