1929: "I hope my family will have food on the dinner table tonight"
2020: "I hope no one misgenders me today."
If people don't have problems, they invent them.
It's much worse, your just being played by the cabal....and folk are too stupid to see through it.
Exactly 💯
Arathyl 999
Sure people worried about food, but they obviously didn't also worry about insults or being socially attacked in anyway. And I bet only transgender people worry about core parts of their identity being attacked in the modern age.
very good observation , the result of this for the west will be conquest by nations who don't care about this sh.t!
i say this all the time, people got too comfortable and soft
Thank god we have people like you right now Douglas Murray.
you clearly have not understood this video and im guessing you probably have not watched much if any of his other material
@jeremy Lyons he says dumb things in incredibly convoluted ways and the sheep fall on knees- , thinking he has uttered something divine and profound ....sorry to the real sheep
@@tabcomp5146 your personal agenda seems to be preventing you from objectively hearing what he's saying. Far from trying to be clever, he's aiming for simplicity in illustrating the point that the more we focus on the differences, and see those differences as bad, the more divided we become. Conversely when we accept a broad spectrum of races, gender specific behaviours and views, society actually functions better because we recognize the variety we bring and how we fit together.
@J M ... I think his grey matter is sparking confusion, as 'tab' is of the thought "Ben Affleck" as an intellectual giant.
@@tabcomp5146 yet here you are hanging on his every word
Wokery = too many people with too little to worry about.
Maybe they need something to worry about? 😉
Being against racism is wrong? lol, oh well, guess I'm a postmodernist, then.
@@JohnSmith-hs1hn I'm with Martin Luther King Jr.
@@davidjefferis4467 Mlk was a postmodernist because he fought against racism and racism has been normal for most of human history(still is).
@Vladimir Vcelar is anti racism not apart of wokery? It is. Given that, op.is.implying that anti racism is bad.
Douglas Murray is a true intellectual mind, who speaks so much common sense...
If i was gay, I'd be all over him....just sayin
Stewart MacLean I’m a straight woman and I’ve had dreams 😆 To be fair I went to sleep listening to his audiobook
You mean he speaks so much sense that unfortunately has become very uncommon…
Common sense, as it used to exist, does not exist anymore.
The new "subjective" morality
Stewart MacLean Well I say!
Douglas Murray has singlehandedly kept me sane throughout quarantine
The De-Emasculiation is ever going on, hence why people call this the 'M-She-U'. Strong, empowering Characters dont exist per se, Writers just lower all other Characters so their Female Characters are Strong in Comparison. We have a giant Representation-Problem, it's just not what the Woke think it is. It's objectively them who cause it, creating objectively bad Content Wave after Wave - Content that minority groups just do not feel represented by. Ever.
Love Douglas Murray’s mind, his voice and the way he expresses himself. His person is pleasant to look at, too.
4:37 _"This new morality we are trying to construct relies on us pretending we know about things that we don't know about ... and simultaneously demands that we pretend not to know about things that we all knew till yesterday."_
That is one for the history books, right there.
Why does this gentleman make so much sense? The answer is because he's speaking the truth.
Yes he does talk a lot of sense. I was intrigued by your avatar and clicked on it. Now I'm addicted to Steve Vai!!!! Is there a cure?!!
Yes, he's right about most things.
It’s the word “community”. That is the problem. As soon as everyone started using that word to describe people with similar characteristics, it implies that they had the same thoughts and values, and everything flowed from that
Yes.
Creating "communities" with shared values replaced embracing community with differing lifestyles. It's largely the gentrification of cities and some towns into a "London centric" ideal to accommodate the Southerners ideals of community facilities whilst destroying the quaint traditional character that drew them in the first instance. I've seen Leeds decimated by London bankers who in the 2008/09 crash finally left allowing some return to Yorkshire cultural values. Sadly the city has once again fallen to their "wants". Kirkgate Market was refurbished to its former Victorian splendour, a good omen, you'd think, then increased the rent driving the diversity out and ruining it. Coffee shops proliferate but few places of true cross generational diversity exist thus driving older generations, an inconvenient eyesore to gentrification modernity, out. Middle classes thus dominate once vibrant cities defining them as their entertainment and shopping environments. It's a sad reflection of the woke culture.
Precisely. And everyone followed the script.
Yes, you're right.
@@brynleytalbot778 good description, except perhaps, a sad reflection of materialistic culture.
Douglas Murray - a man very thoughtful and a breath of fresh air.

The trouble with all this ‘wokeness’ is that it makes people become so narrow in their thinking. In order to have a broad and thoughtful attitude as one goes through life, one has to listen to many different points of view and gradually mature into your own confident and well informed opinions. I think the biggest problem with the ‘woke’ way of thinking is that it is so childlike and lacking in the ability to be confident in ones own opinions.
Exactly. Because the people who espouse these views are adults that haven't properly grown up. 'Kidults' in other words.
i really dislkike the way those 'woke' cannot accept two conflicting facts can exist in the same space.
This is probably the 5th time I’ve watched this clip. I am just know starting to understand how deeply profound Douglas Murray is in what he is discussing here. Just added the book The Madness of Crowds to the top of my reading list.
Douglas is definitely one of the sharpest conservative political/social commentators around today!!! Good score John!!!
Mr. Murray is a world class mind. Thank you for sharing John.
Douglas Murray is a truly excellent speaker. He is always a pleasure to listen to, along with Jordan Peterson.
I have 100% certainty that marxism is more dangerous to the world than the wuflu.
Thank you, John Anderson, for bringing Murray in often for your insightful interviews. And thank you, Douglas Murray for sharing with us your thoughts and also your astounding and (apparently) spontaneous dominion of the Emglish language... listening to you is witnessing pure beauty
Thanks for the encouragement Lluis.
It's always refreshing to witness intelligence coupled with wisdom!
Excellent Douglas Murray, as always. Mind piercing into the crux of the moment and the matter, verb expressing such perception with extraordinary ability
this man is a similar character to my father, gay, and yet very grounded and logical, without belonging to a masonic LGBT lodge.
I am grateful for the way he raised me.
Science is a challenge , as is logic. Virtue signaling is easy but boring beyond belief. And destructive.
The underlying issue is identity politics, surely. The previous morality was open to anyone to adopt, regardless of their gender, race or sexual orientation. Now you have to be a member of one or more of these groups to be truly virtuous. Martin Luther King would be horrified.
Calling it Virtue signalling, rather than standing up for people who are being discriminated against - which is usually the reality of what we are talking about - is not good use of logic. Unless you are trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes. And standing up for vulnerable people is so fucking moral it blows my mind that anyone would really believe anything else. Unless they were bigots or sell outs, of course. Which is very destructive.
@@catinthehat906 MLK would have been in full support of most "woke" movements today. Not only was he the archetypal SJW, he was vilified in the same way the modern movement is today.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
The Left: "You're a racist!"
Me: yaaawwwn
@Jack Carbine Wear it with pride as the person that calls you that is the racist.
Ill take that as a yes.
I dislike everyone equally until proven otherwise.
Serious question: What does it say about white people who call other white people racist"? Do they do it because of true sympathy, which I think not, virtue signaling OR do they do it because they want to fit into as many other categories besides a typical "white person"? What about black people who call white people racist? Is that not the same type of stereotype that we're told not to use against black people?
Everyone is racist to them except them, ironically, because they are the ones perpetrating actual racism.
Omg! Douglas says exactley as it is!! He makes me laugh, because he hits the nail on the head... We are ONE community, the human race community... By separating communities, we are causing divide..... Love this guy! We need to just realise whatever 'community' we belong to.... We all have rights, human rights, no need to complicate things by dividing rights into lots of communities, we are more alike than different, same species, but all feel hurt, pain, pride, etc as each other, we are ONE community, human beings!!
Is that why he continually divides people between left and right, and uses scare words like Marxism all the time?
There clearly is a divide of opinions, beliefs etc in all aspects of politics and life, but they are not called the Left community and the Right community. We are ONE community of human beings with different ideas, beliefs etc
@@kate4885 not really. A community is a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.... and the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common.... a human in Greenland is going to have quite different attitudes and interests to a human in DR Congo.
@@kate4885 That would be centrists.
@@paintsilj I do take your point. We all live in the same place, earth, we have lots in common, we're human beings and believe that as ONE worldwide community, we should all have the same rights, treatment etc. Not rights divided into separate 'communities'.
Douglas Murray is a very important figure for the balance of logic in the face of emotional reactionaries. I think he would agree that balance between the two is very important.
I for one absolutely love this channel.
Thanks for the support.
One of the wisest people on the planet
See Professor Gad Saad, too!
Along with ME.
Which planet are you referring to?
Hardly.
Excellent conversation! Douglas has touched it with a pin!
Douglas Murray is the leader we need
Aha.. got you....you're gay
A: "The climate is changing!"
B: "Really? That's interesting."
A: "And the way to solve this problem is by imposing worldwide Socialism!"
B: "Really? What a happy coincidence!"
One of the reasons that so many green movements are also socialist movements are because so much of the rights response to CO2 levels affecting our climate in a negative way was to say "It's a hoax". If you choose to leave the conversation, don't be suprised that all the solutions comes from the other side.
@@massemiable Socialism is a solution - the only one that ever comes from "the other side".
To dismiss something is not the same as leaving the conversation. As for that conversation, plenty have lost their jobs over the decades for daring to converse without agreement. Typical of the socialist religion and the purging of their church.
Socialism is a race towards the lowest common denominator (consumption/production wise).
Which happens to be an important way of you know, reducing our polluting outputs. So in a way not at all intended by its advocates, the climate change movement is on to a solution here :p
@@4Stanzas Don't quite follow you here..
Rising Co2 levels are affecting our climate in a negative way. If you dismiss that, then you have effectively left the conversation.
If you are not a socialist, and you have no proposed solution to the adverse effects of rising co2 levels because you dismiss it, then naturally all the proposed solutions would come from socialist.
Now, that statement is not completely correct as there are capitalists, conservatives, and people on the right like me that does take climate change seriously and there are some proposed solutions from non socialist. Like cap and trade to incentivize business to reduce Co2 emissions and investments into renewable energy.
My point still stands though. If you dismiss a problem then those that does not dismiss it will be the ones that proposes solutions, and the left generally has in fairness never dismissed the problem.
@@massemiable I am a virulent environmentalist and it pains me when Greens overstep into some sort of Social Justice realm. So-called 'environmental justice' is not environmentalism, it is narcissism and self-interest masquerading as environmentalism, and it is very easy to see where those priorities collide.
Christianity has faded leaving a vacuum.
People need a framework to live within and are now searching for this .
The vocal ones are now trying to get the lime light by announcing a new morality of their making.
Over time a variety of strange ideas will come and go possibly a return to Christianity may end this search
Christianity was subverted and destroyed, it didn't "fade".
Sex, Gender and Race. Three properties some use as tools to protect themselves from difficult conversations.
You forgot sexual orientation.
The difficult conversations Murray's stans don't want to have because wokeness.
Love this site and these interviews. Thanks so much.
Thank you for the support Diana.
The "new morality" that's seen by most regular people as the empty platitude that it is.
I imagine that like myself you’re over 35...the bigger problem is the under-35s, many of whom have fallen for it hook, line and sinker.
In all civilized religious cultures' teachings I know about, there's always something that goes along the lines of "keep your prayers between yourself and your god".
It loosely means that in order to be a good person in society, you have to be virtuous for yourself, and not to get rewarded for being virtuous.
Good people are perceived by good deeds they don't advertise. Meanwhile, awful people do good deeds only to convince everyone around them (and themselves, if they have any sign of conscience left in them) that they are good, as a mean to create a facade to cover their wrongdoings behind. This is why a lot, if not most, of male "girlpowa movement followers" turn out to be abusers, female (or minority) equality advocates play victim card to keep and expand their privileges, and actual good and sane people face mob justice and cancellation from people who otherwise could not compete with a living example of what true virtue looks like.
Randaru it seems to me that these people are searching for a cause and meaning greater than themselves, to fill that God-sized hole in their heart. Instead of turning to God, they have founded a new religion, one in which they are always both the martyr and the savior. They, rather than God, are the ones who are all-knowing, righteous, just, and loving. They are the way, and their way is narrow. They alone determine what, if anything, can save the rest of us. The rituals, prayers, and good deeds required are determined by them and can change moment to moment.
They have placed themselves in the role of god. The self love, and self worship in these movements is so blatant.....yet so few seem to see it.
Those that do practice their virtue loudly and publicly to get attention for it are called Pharisees.
This is something Jordan Peterson pointed out too. "Don't pray in public" is how he put it.
When will we see this sort of debate on the BBC?
Another excellent interview John anderson. Please keep up the great work. In this increasingly intellectually sterile world these conversations are a beacon of light
I’m heterosexual. Why haven’t I got a community?
the Oppressors Community
You have. It's called the establishment
Because you went to bed one night and woke up the next day in a world where you are now the GREAT SATAAAAAAAN!!! Good job.
robert ely - The establishment? That’s a biggy. “Normies” are increasingly becoming marginalised by the organisations like the BBC, which is about as “establishment” as it gets.
If you’re not a twin-spirit paraplegic with an amputee fetish you won’t get hired there any more. The UK is still about 80% Anglo-Saxon and 98% straight but you certainly wouldn’t guess that when watching the news or indeed any recent BBC programme. I also enjoy playing spot the conventional nuclear family in the ad breaks (on ITV and C4, of course).
@@sirrathersplendid4825 I think that this gender issue is pretty baseless and used as a divide and conquer tool. I agree there are bizarre levels of trans people on tv compared to their population and this is not right, however I don't think any of them actually get into positions of power. I think they are being used.
Whilst being gay, black, trans or a minority etc may provide a barrier to succeeding in the establishment, it doesn't really matter, so long as you're pro war, pro debt based financial system, pro America, pro Israel and pro mass surveillance.
People who relentlessly promote the above I consider 'off the establishment' and I think they continually use gender/race issues because they're too lazy to discuss their ideologies on neoliberalism, invading countries without evidence, imperialism, debt slavery, censorship. Hence the reason Douglas Murray cries about how he can't say anything about minorities without being called racist, yet the moment someone says something he doesn't like he calls them a Marxist or anti-Semitic!
I think that LGBT should include plumbers to be truely inclusive. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Plumbers ie LGBTP
Funny😅
You bigot ...... you haven't included bricklayers
Dont forget carpenters
And plumbers cracks :)

Douglas ' facial expression and reply to group divisions at timescalet 8.40 "what if that's the point?. What if that's the point?" was quite chilling.
I could listen to Douglas Murray all day (and all night).
Country's should rise above the shaming and focus energy on improving life for people within borders! Borders serve the same purpose as wall's and gates around homes and property for safety, privacy, and control who comes and goes!
Douglas Murray is IMO one of the most brilliant and wonderful men today. His love of reason and freedom gives me hope - but just a little bit to be honest. So much madness everywhere !
I'm very glad I came across this fellow and his talks. Very thought provoking.
Give this man, Mr. Anderson a medal; profoundly and justly. Give the man a medal. Because that there is the head on the proverbial nail!

Can you imagine if we sorted us all out into communities.... Blue eyed community, brown eyed community, green eyed community, blonde community, brunette community etc and all the sub communities, volvo community, vw community, skoda community... Life is too short to communitise everybody....

@jeremy Lyons Good point. Just simply meant that we are a community, a worldwide community. We can all choose to create communities for ourselves, not being categorised into a community we didn't choose. My opinions are not political, just believe as people on the same planet, however we choose to identify ourselves, we have more in common than not. Maybe a simplistic opinion but fed up of seeing so much divide on our planet.
@jeremy Lyons Not promoting Liberal individualism, not promoting anything. Just having an opinion, listening to different takes on the subject and learning
Keep it up Douglas! We need more voices of reason like your's!
"Why would we be taking The Individualism out of Individuals." That made me cry.

Ah, Douglas ... a lonely voice in the wilderness.
We need to see and hear people like Douglas Murray.
Mr Murray thank you
It’s like William F. Buckley and Jordan Peterson had a baby.
@Denali: wonderful observation .
In the U.K. society has become increasingly ‘serious and less tolerant in terms of free expression’ ever since Tony Blair and the Labour Party meddled with our historic legislation and rights. The meddling could be interpreted as bringing society a step closer to a moral objective, but unfortunately it has undermined the fundamental liberty of free speech. Decent citizens within society understood what was hateful. Obviously, a minority would not, and would be condemned by the majority as such! But similarly today, a minority utilise these updates to the statute book to bully, control and silence the opinions of others via virtue signalling! People and organisations do not like to be perceived as racist, sexist etc. so this method provides effective control of any discussion or objective outcome. Ironically, this same minority would view oppression as something to protest about, unless seemingly its application governs a topic to which they agree! This sets a dangerous precedence with regards the application of law and order in society! What if other members of society were to shut down debate on subjects of law? As an example, a law could be enacted where the freedom to protest could be curtailed, under the guise that it could attribute destructive & hateful division within society! Not as unlikely as you might ascribe, and one which could be deemed moral in it’s objective! Further to this example, what if the right-wing were to endorse such a law, shut down debate as immoral, and thus restrict the left’s freedom to protest; As is already witnessed within authoritarian dictatorships!
So comes the choice, is it better to have a more liberal society where your free speech is ‘still judged’ by others on it’s moral standards; Or a society where free speech is controlled via state legislation and in turn ‘policed’ by others? Although these two choices appear very similar, the second one is much closer to a situation envisaged by George Orwell in his dystopian novel 1984. Both choices can be abused by a minority, but the eradication of true free speech also effects the freedoms of a fair majority!
As you state, division can be created by hijacking the views of certain groups, controlling the narrative and subsequently harnessing their loyalty for alternative political objectives! Robust free speech is the only solution to prevent extremism, at the expense of potentially offending the fragile!
Brilliant video. Thank you so much. Going to purchase that book!
So good! One of the best clips on this topic, for sure.
Love listening to Douglas Murray but logic, evidence and reason will have little or no effect on the irrational SJW crowd have a religious experience.
Well that's the thing with moralties
They get rebelled against
So too is wokeness being rebelled against
Yes, but the likeliness of defeating them is slim as they have media, entertainment and education on their side. We need many, many people together and it’s looking like and uphill battle.
@@julioarcaiko We'll just have to hope not everyone's blinkered.
Every time I listen to Douglas Murray I grab my pen and i write entire quotes, and I think My God, this fellow takes the thoughts out of our heads and he states them coherently, and precisely.
Omg Douglas has beautifully nailed the issues of our changing society in this interview. He’s exactly right I have also seen huge changes in recent years and all for the worst not the better. Social media is partly to blame.
I love Jon Anderson. I wish he was our deputy prime minister. In fact, I wish he was our prime minister. Intelligent, thoughtful, reasoned and with an insightful mind. Australia let a good one go.
I preferred a community that included the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. How different Candlewick Green would look today
Love listening to Douglas Murray
Thanks for this. Douglas Murray is one of the pre-eminent voices of sanity in our time.
One of the few blessings of social media has been the rise of a handful of worthy social commentators with very vast backgrounds. The likes of
Douglas Murray
Jordan Peterson
Ben Shapiro
Joe Rogan
And even Russell Brand (he is ridiculously intelligent and articulate)
As long as our societies are "pulled apart" to some degree, constantly with no aim as to how it can be constructed in a better way, it remains in a kind of turmoil that always seems to benefit the most politically and economically powerful. Funny that.
Nothing will replace spirit that western democratic values are predicated on
Democracy is not a "western value", the West has been around long before democracy, and every western country that has adopted it has turned in to a cultural cesspool after a few decades. Democracy is treated as a holy grail and peddled as a western value because the current rulers benefit from it. It is perhaps one of the most insidious methods of ruling ever devised because it allows those who hold the most influence rule by proxy, without the responsibility of being a formal ruler(s), to make it worse they can propagate the blame for their misdeeds on to certain groups of people and away from themselves. Because most people are stupid, they will fall for this and see their countrymen as the enemy instead of the actual ones screwing them over. Despite all that, even *IF* there is zero corruption _somehow._ You are still gambling the course of society in to the collective wisdom of the mob, the overwhelming majority of which have no experience or knowledge in what it takes to run a nation.
Gosh Douglas Murray is awesome....all his words make so much sense to me !! I agree with him totally...we live in a crazy world !! 🙏🏽🇮🇳
I feel so relieved that I'm not the only one who think that way. I hear my voice in Mr. Murray's speech.
There's a lot of us who do. : )
Speaking as a woman: the only equality with men I want is to be free of coercion and deceit, that promises, as in a reciprocal contract between individuals, be kept, that my property, including my life and body, be respected and, finally, that I be compensated for damages as if I were a rich man with a slew of lawyers to protect me when confronted by might and power.
The same thing I am willing to grant all other sentient beings.
“Half expected of you” it was called common sense. No a days the minority emotionalism dictate what the majority is opposed of.
Thank you for this
Douglas is always worth listening to , such a smart, thinking man
Indeed.
The problem with this morality is that it's a thing from the book 1984 by George Orwell. And not one of the good things from it either.
Woah, wooooooaaaaaahhhhhhhh, referencing 1984! Wooooooooaahh! Deepppeepppp!
The weird thing is, as prevalent as this phenomenon is said to be (or in fact is), I have never met someone so possessed, or at least expressing these sentiments openly, in public.
I have talked to people who insist that the american police system is racist to the core, and that feel very superior for acknowledging their privilege. Professors, in front of my face, have claimed that Venezuela and Cuba are doing great things, and students eat it up. Despite all that, government policies are a better measure of whether it has done damage instead of who you've met in person. It affects you if you're one of the people that lives in those blocks in Seattle, or parts of my city minneapolis where private property is being destroyed, and police are quitting because they see that the activists are controlling the city officials. Governors and mayors don't stop it, and media calls the protests peaceful and calls Trump racist for a strong anti-looting stance.
If this is just the beginning, the end might be very bad. Maybe it's not the beginning, only time will tell.
@@B10401 I have heard that business owners in the former CHAZ in Seattle are suing the city for basically leaving them to the anarchists. I hope the damage award is so massive that it will scare some sense into any 'leaders' who might cower or pander to these mobs. Of course as always, the awards will be borne by the taxpayers, not the useless tools who let it happen.

9:13 -10:04 he be kind of accurate though. I know so many 10-15 year-olds who fully believe in the post-modern concept of identity that it's scary.
I keep hearing that that generation will rebel against this. I was hoping that was true.

No “youth rebellion” is coming .

My theory as to why younger people often embrace Marxism is because they don’t have anything to lose yet. It’s appealing because it promises them a slice of the pie they haven’t earned yet. When they finally have to consider giving up a slice of the pie they have rightly earned so someone else can have it, they become conservatives. They don’t fully realize that this is what the abolition of private property means: you don’t own the fruits of your labor and someone else can legitimately take them for their own use.
“Common Sense“, in its Enlightenment origins (Hutcheson,
Hume, etc.), meant shared values, developed over generations of shared experience
by members of a society living and working together, as the common ethic. “Wokeness” is the snide, cynically assumed,
sense of contempt for the majority, by minorities who hate the societies in
which they live, although it was the tolerance of these societies which gave them
the liberty to be so obnoxious with impunity.

This is why I love this man. This kind of smirking descriptive eloquent phraseology. He speaks so well.

Thanks Ryan.
Does anyone else see a correlation between the decline of Christianity and the increase in SJW wokeness?
Staying woke for more than 16 hours at a time is seriously dangerous for your health. Get some sleep people! There’s a pandemic afoot!
Thank you - spot on !
I think Douglas Murray is brilliant as an individual.
if you still don't get what, " becoming woke" is...........last scene in 1984
Great man says it as it is love it so honest with the truthfulness
A first step in resolving this rather complex constellation of social problems among diverse groups is undeniable: a large gathering where we can all peacefully agree NEVER to use the word "Narrative" in a sentence ever again.
The right definitely needs more Douglas Murrays.
A highly intelligent take on the state of things today.
Thank God for Douglas Murray and all those who are not afraid to confront those who are trying to wreck our society, whilst appearing to be “ on the side of the angels”
