Douglas Murray | Will COVID-19 sound the death knell of the globalist agenda?

- Globalisation can be a technical term describing the fact of the interrelated modern world. Or it can be an ideological term used to describe a political agenda of elites and globalist institutions who want to see the decline of the nation state and more centralised international bureaucracy. Douglas Murray wonders if the COVID-19 pandemic will cause a kick back against this agenda.

I will be boycotting Chinese goods moving forward.
Looks like you'd better take up subsistence farming then...
Bobby Crush I’d like to do the same but practically it’s almost impossible they make or supply components for almost everything.
@Forever Holiday : damn right, mate... well said !
Why?
Buy Korean, lots of the same goods that China makes, a bit more expensive but better quality. Samsung, Kia, Hyundai to name but a few.
There is one positive from all this, while people are dying from COV-ID19 no one is dying from anything else! It’s a miracle
@A Mc Im an Endoscopy Nurse, I screen for both Colon and Oesophageal cancers. My Clinics have been cancelled. And im redeployed. The Pateints I see are on a Two week Cancer pathways. I dread to think of the mortality because their cancer was not Diagnosed and treated earlier.
Karen 1973 We do not have a national health service at the moment but sub-total chaos. The clapping should actually be jeering at those who ‘lead’ us who did nothing in January and February.
@@Oliviawww164 We all have cancer. Biopsies and cutting holes in people tends to activate them. Our bodies are made to self protect. Deaths from breast cancer have not decreased with all the testing going on but someone makes money.
@A Mc 2 Weeks ago My Wife Had A third MRI , 2 Days before NZ's Comrade Ardern enforced imposition on the Country , She was Screened 2 years ago and Was found to have a Lemon sized Meningioma in the Frontal Lobe and After Radiation, Had not Changed at that stage, I guess because it is presumed to be Benign, They are in No hurry to Deal with it!!!!!
Spot on carlin
I will pay extra and already pay extra for domestic goods. There will be a reconning when all this is over. Barbour jacket and Danner boots for me.
Indeed. Import nothing from them, export nothing to them, invest nothing in their economy and prohibit Chinese investment in our economies. They must pay for what they have inflicted on the world.
@@alexharrington6459 Australia will really disappear down the gurgler then.
Jake ... do you have ANY understanding of the term ... OFFSHORING. ?? 🙄
YOUR OWN countrys corporations closed down factories & threw everybody out of their jobs...
They then sent their buyers to China (& elsewhere) & said "we want X million widgets at Y unit cost, reduce the quality until you can produce that" ... 🤫
The chinese manufacturers, who ARE capable of producing quality, simply followed their customers bidding... no skin off their nose !
THIS is how all the famous american brands ended up being Made in China & being trash.
The US Corporations saved on wages / pensions / building costs / insurance / local taxes / environmental regulation costs... and more. BUT they made huge profits ... why ? ... because americans continued to buy from them.
China is NOT the bad guy here... 😒
BTW ...the word is "reckoning" 🙄
Jake Wright yes !!!!
Peter Fitzpatrick oh yeah naive Chinese Ha ha ....the only Chinese I trust is Bruce Lee and he is not around ....Chinese need to find god and morality like everyone else and stop being so soft on them they are not naive one single bit
I question your statement that China has emerged as 'a friend of Italy.' China does nothing out of friendship, only strategic advantage. Certainly the most powerful and affluent northern EU nations have let down Italy, Spain and of course Greece; but China will offer Italy all sorts of economic help only as a means of gaining more influence into the affairs of Western Europe.
I agree. China will keep supplying food for supermarkets and clothing for shops, and when it is time to pay them for advanced goods, then they will owe only China. China is threatening governments if they do not allow Huewi 5 G roll out.
@Pac Man www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/5g-where-china-and-west-finally-diverge/604309/ and this one: www.cnbc.com/2019/04/22/us-attacks-huawei-and-china-without-a-5g-strategy.html and this one: www.npr.org/2019/10/24/759902041/chinas-tech-giant-huawei-spans-much-of-the-globe-despite-u-s-efforts-to-ban-it Sorry about bombarding you, but I think you might find this interesting.
Canadian government wrote an exception, allowing refugees to still arrive in Canada. Even a pandemic and the threat of mass death does not stop this policy.
I’d like to buy Australian, but I don’t trust those new labels. Can we bring in with ‘Made in an enemy nation’ labels?
What do you mean, 'the new labels'?
Why do you consider Australia to be an enemy? They're a fairly good friendly nation
We get the government we deserve. Maybe stronger people will demand stronger leadership?
Whilst your point about the closure of borders is valid, Douglas, I'll bet they revert to 'type' (ie Globalists!) as soon as they realise not so many people are dying as was predicted. Then the claim will not be "We have been fools!", but "Our measures have saved everyone! Aren't we clever Globalists!"
FFS, death count is horrendous in UK. Look at recovery to death rate.
@@mikebobbings9601 Wrong! Death rates are DOWN compared with what is usually expected.
@@Mark_Dyer1 where u get this information? China apparently had 3 k death's,we know that's b.s by amount cremations there was. S Korea low deaths,Hong Kong low deaths, Singapore low deaths and these are all neighboring countries to the outbreak.
Germany high infection and low death rates .... USA,UK,Spain, Italy all way to high and it shows late reaction to stop spread over loads health service.
It will only get worse whilst people in huge denial and more worried by bank balance
@@mikebobbings9601 Are you aware that Sweden has not gone down the 'authoritarian' route, on principle? And - like so many - you seem to confuse 'number of deaths' with 'relative lethality', which we will not know for some time. Statistics, from many sources, have been available in THE SPECTATOR, through UA-cam posts, etc. It is precisely because of a postgraduate background involving research, that I treat all presently-available statistics with a pinch of salt.
@@Mark_Dyer1 yes and are you aware of their expected death rates and panic in the people. It won't last long . If airports was banned earlier,forced quarantine, face masks on at the first cases them countries haven't had to do a lock down...the slow to react ones who said it's nothing to worry about are now in full lock downs. Surely you can add 2 and 2 ...
Given there is no such thing as an integrated culture, although we must recognise that some cultures are utterly superior to others on many levels, then the nation state strong with strong borders and integration of its inhabitants is obviously the way forward.
First, note how adroitly John Anderson guides this dialogue, allowing Murray to have the floor about 80% of the time, unlike many other UA-cam videos in which the host speaks more than the guest. I admire Murray's insights on all things political, especially his deconstruction of the methods of the extreme left in his two most recent books. He single-handedly defused the rhetoric of political correctness and exposed the faulty premises hidden in identity politics. For this, all rational minds owe him a debt of gratitude.
On the issue of globalization, I agree with Murray regarding the relationships between governments of divergent ideologies. As a result of the C-19 pandemic, it is likely the US will pull back strategic manufacturing from a host of foreign nations, especially China, since China makes so many things for American markets. That is the price China will pay for not policing its "wet market." America will pay in higher prices for goods made in the US. But this is not the end of globalization. It simply means globalization must proceed on the basis of mutual understanding and reciprocitty. The future of the world depends on building commerical and personal bridges between nations of all ideologies. China will learn from this and become an even better world partner. The people of China will demand it.
Therefore, I cautiously take exception to Murray's dim view of globalization. In fact, we cannot put the genie back in the bottle. We live in an interconnected world. But the hope is not in nation states, but in the inter-connectedness of individuals that I place my faith for the future. In the midst of the C-19 epidemic, American and Chinese medical scientists exchanged useful information like colleagues everywhere. The very technology we are using here has allowed me to connect with intelligent and creative business men and artists in the UK and Europe. Even inside China and Russia, individuals are getting things done for the benefit of people in other nations they will never meet. Yes, in an emergency, we will always look first to the nearest governmental institution. That is logical and efficient. But in weaving the fabric of a global society, individuals are making governments almost superfluous, so that one portion of the world can respond helpfully to disallocations and frictions elsewhere in the world and thereby minimize the differences which divide nations, gradually defusing the tensions that lead to global conflict. I have great faith that individuals will find a way to bridge the differences between political regimes in the years ahead. Ultimately, the future of the world lies in global cooperation to the make the future better for all.
Bring back manufacturing to state-run countries if this hasnt taught us any thing then next time we deserve all we get
Douglas murray great commonsense and a lovely handsome face🇮🇪
Finola O murchu Agree also look into Laura Towler another person putting out great content :)
bye bye EU and Soros
The only EU country which hasn't closed it's borders is Republic of Ireland . Despite the nation being on virtual lockdown , with 2k limit on travel from home you can fly into Dublin airport from literally anywhere in the world and so called " refugees " are being bussed 100's of miles from Dublin to Kerry to direct provision centres , possibly carrying God knows what diseases with them .
Leo and ROI people cheered China on social media for sending Republic Of Ireland face masks ect from Beijing. Forgetting they wouldn’t need them, if it wasn’t for Chineese government in the first place. Sad ☹️
The Irish are an interesting People.
@mara cohen ROI so called Irish nationalist are Steadfast followers of all things elitist since it embraced its Romans conquerors, now ardently following EU,China yet states its can justify negatively and violence towards its closest neighbours Britain,ROI cloud cuckoo land.
@@jeanwallace9791 It takes to tango ,they are good reasons for negativity towards the british it has and always been a fraught relationship.As individuals we get on fine,but as states and nations there will always be tension,because the relationship is unequal that of a conqueror and the conquered. Why we should think that we are equal partners in the EU is a question i can not answer.The government is expecting the EU to help pay for covid emergency spending when its doing absolutely nothing for italy or spain.
@gallow glass The Romans ruled in Ireland only the North refused to cooperate with their worship etc the North stayed true to Patrick, the Welshman whom the Romans declared a ST. All Ireland under Romans little Britain, the people where so alike.ROI historically followed the elites of Roman, ROI now following elites of Europe EU, ROI now wish to follows China who would like to be the elites of the world. Yet call themselves oppressed victims.Blessing
If only you have a better quality connection, we could see what sits on Douggie's bookshelf.
Wonderfully put by Douglas again. There is so much fine observation and the knack to draw the right conclusions that in retrospect one has to agree that 'this makes sense!'. This is a wonderful format by Jon Anderson for though and inspiration. Thank you so much.
I hope so because family and nation should always come first, then the Commonwealth and finally all of humanity, but what makes you think that COVID-19 has much of a future? What are the odds that you know everything there is to know about the subject, enough to predict even roughly the duration or impact of the problem?
I predict that COVID-19 is just a flu virus that will go away soon because that's what always happens. Boris Johnson and the government will then claim victory stating that many deaths were avoided because of the lockdown of the country which, of course, is complete bollocks!
Effing hopefully yes !!!!! Think you should start foot notes on "The Strange Death Of The E.U." Mr Murray..one of my 1st choices for a seat on the ideal dream cabinet...!!!
Globalism was always about corporations and access to cheap labor, so was the myth of mass immigration bringing glorious cultural diversity.
Social Security - The Benefit System, is like a Christmas Club.
You pay in, so that when the time comes, you can take from the collective Money pot.
You would Never allow those that have Not contributed to the Money pot,.. to help themselves to something they had not added to.
It would just empty the money pot, Before those that had contributed to it, had a chance to draw on it.
The 'freedoms' afforded to business in it's search for the cheapest production costs is the Thatcherite way surely
This whole crisis is stage managed, they will come together at the end of the pandmonium as one world government. Owning evryone.
funkybillie2006 , On the contrary, there will be more of national boundaries and protectionism.
its agenda 21 bill gates 201 conference forced vax coming globalist plan
While I love Borris it’s a great shame that Douglas is not our prime minister.
Imagine, there are countries. I wonder if you can. Imagine all the people living rationally ... You may say I'm a conservative but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us ... and will live in real wisdom.
2020 should bring in a new era where truth and empirical reality reign supreme. Insults, isms and phobes can't continue to be used to shut down debate, nor should questioning certain aspects of 20th century history land you in jail. The truth can withstand scrutiny, after all.
Well said, could not agree more
Italy will be next to pull out of the EU
Shows the difference between the US states + the US Federal gov as opposed to the European nation states + the EU. The US had no single state close its border.
And the govt recognizes the natural units of couples and families!
Anyway this is garbled he is obviously struggling to ma
He has so many books.
Read the novel "We" by Eugene Zamiatin? (Pen name - the book is a Russian precursor to Orwell's "1984"). Interesting work... What about Watership Down by Richard Adams?
It's strange that Serbia called China a true "friend". Friends don't exist in geopolitics, there are just mutual interests. If such a thing as friends can exist to some degree on that stage then Russia would be Serbia's one true friend. Their Slavic ties go way back. Culturally and religiously they're basically the same. Plus their languages have some mutual intelligibility. That's just my 5 kopecks (2¢)
China is building the UK HS Rail links. It is also providing the UK 5G HuaWei communications link. Their tech is best so they win! They've thrashed the Yanks at their own game! It's called free enterprise. Yank Tech is 20 years behind Chinese Tech.
not for me it ain’t mate. ‘we’ is a spectrum, of course. but, personally, it fundamentally means ‘european’. a continent and its culture that invented the modern world in its most worthy essentials. plurality, free speech, societal provision, banking, joint stock companies, insurance, intercontinental travel, and, above all, the scientific method. I am ‘English’, and ‘British’, and ‘Portuguese’ etc. And I identify with my species too, obviously. Always liked Ali’s poem ‘me, we’. But, we to me is European. Without a doubt.
Please change the angle of your camera, because presently, it gives a very unpleasant look deep into your mouth. The camera now seems to be at the height of your tongue. Otherwise, I support your points about the importance of the nation state.
An understandably worried attendant doesn't look to Brussels. They look to their own government.
God I hope so! If China sending faulty tests and medical supplies (likely intentionally) to Western countries isn’t enough of a sign that we need to look after our own and bring back manufacturing, then I don’t know what will do it.
It was telling that the individual nation states closed their borders and not the EU. In fact, on a contiguous continent, if you believe that isolation is the best policy, closing national borders isn't necessarily the best option - someone from Southern France can't go to a mile away to Northern Germany, but they can go hundreds of miles away to Northern France. They closed them because, even if they don't want to admit it, it was a power they still had and they still see themselves as individual nations. Meanwhile, the EU stood around doing nothing.
Nothing is unalloyed good or unalloyed evil....even the EU has good in it. The UK has adopted many good EU directives but in the end, it's a question of the whole package. You can't erase national boundaries and the EU will find this out.
Please be our prime minister. Boris is a joke we need men/women with back bone or balls whatever you want to call it. But you have it douglas! You are EPiC x
In Australia, it seems to be almost impossible to buy _anything_ that is not 'made in China'. Grrrrrr. But I will do that (i.e. buy non-chinese) as much as is possible.
Boycotting Chinese goods is pretty much impossible at the moment.
Good luck people, either you will go without, pay way more, or end up growing your own food
His distinction between the natural state of globalisation that's come about due to vastly improved exporting/importing lanes, vehicles, communication tech etc, and globalisation in the sense of an ideological project that seeks to centralise power and erase national identity and borders, is a very important one.
Douglas should shave, that look doesn't suit him and makes him look scruffy. Also, what he's saying here is spot on.
how can you trust UK government only capable to do something if they think that it can hurt their own future, there is no leadership in Britain that can take care of the people in time of great need , also fact that individual countries closed their borders only proves that they are sovereign within EU , but british do not know what to do with their sovereignty their borders stayed open when in fact this country is more exposed then others . I found history of British Empire fascinating, in particular its disintegration and then when all is left is "Great Britain" one could thing it could not go more wrong - history in the making.
In parallel, the interesting thing is the UN means United NATIONS. The UN cannot be United something or other.
Why is the sound so shit on all his vids? I thought you were a 1st world country? Is 56k still considered “cutting edge” there?
While in politics in Australia this man did more to further the global agenda than most.
Bit disingenuous...
I think it’s broader than you suggest. It’s about peoples rather than nation states. Race and language are things which bind people together, not national politics.
Who was that woman ? Was she supposed to persuade me to change my mind ? I voted to LEAVE and I mean LEAVE.
Hey Mr Murray debate Laura Towler from Patriotic Alternative.
Surprisingly Chinese cheese is really good and it is dirt cheep now. Go for it.
It's inevitable that the west will tire of China as a manufacturing hub and eventually turn to Africa for a equally large worker base and massively reduced overhead and workforce costs.
I'd say he had an almighty session the night before this interview and forgot it was on!
Bad sound quality RUINS this video.
If the bug has a silver lining it seems to be waking people up as to how bankrupt woke dogma is.
Dougles , you need to take care of yourself. you are loosing too much weight .
Are there any strong voices in the Catholic Church which are vocal against these reactions to the virus?
I bought 7 made in taiwan things and stole about 3 made in bangladesh things
I will never eat chicken pinapl and sushi’s. That’s it
Great video! Really insightful and excellent points that many have not been talking about.
I heard that Douglas is not allowed into the US. Is that true?
Whoever comes up with the antidote to Corvid 19 will win the Nobel Prize for Medicine, let’s hope it’s the UK 🇬🇧
Yes indeed, and it will be full of Poison
Where does this guy get off basically calling Italy a failed state. Why don't you look in your own backyard? What about Scotland? Eh? If you were so great how come Scotland wants to leave. We don't need you or anybody else. Italy was here two thousand years ago and will still be here two thousand years later.
Why am I getting so offended when expecting anything better from the English is futile. You have always been the antithesis of everything Italian and will always be.
Hopefully it will. We should be fully self sufficient
Groper the Doper(Trudeau) has not stopped flights from China among others. There are still flights coming into Toronto and Vancouver airports. Up to 158 a day!
Douglas is like someone who has been plucked from the Victorian times and plonked in to the modern age. All his missing is the monocle and top hat. Very tiring for such a young man
No. Not unique. A character type partly explained, admiringly by me, in two words: "Old Etonian"
Exactly, Douglas. As someone said : the nation state is the largest viable form of the family. That's not to say, of course, that other nations and cultures aren't valued neighbors, that we befriend and cooperate with.
What a ridiculous argument. Obviously the borders of European countries were closed at a national level, because the EU only has one border and that's round the outside of the whole of Europe and just closing that would not adequately address the problem of movement of people to a sufficient degree. Individual regions and cities have locked down their borders in other parts of the world, but that doesn't mean they will suddenly expect their own independence!!
The disheveled look is not for you sir.
Hell no! It's the starters gun!
Without freedom there is no point.
France never closed its border.
Did someone punch you in the mouth?
Be careful buying those " reduced price strawberries " from SPAIN.
@5:00 Hilarious
When Is Work slavery?
We are all prisoners of the 1%
I want to here more from the ideological Globalisation part to the two ideas , it was cut short in the interview. As it was for sure a nod that there is a more mercenary approach , ideological in some parts yes. And you will find that in exploitation for 3rd world countries to anyone from the super elite class who are above all laws. Globalisation has benefited china and the position is now ideological as much as economic and political. If the people behind the CCP was good in any form they would expose the west for its ideological pursuits but they won't as they are a direct competitor who has already got a surveillance state and murder innocent people and has slave camps. Both sides looking at the lesser of to evils.
The sound is distorted.
Get a new webcam Doug
The house activities
Eyes wide shut...
So far, if anyone has only mentioned globalization or the disgusting ideology of the cavemen, they look and treat people as if they had the plague. the swedish tuna is already in the trash can. the eu is a useless voracious colossus
He has dead eyes
Each closed their borders as a unilateral action, but under the same guidance we are asking all of our neighbours to stay at home.
It'll be interesting to see if the section of the public who supports diversity and open borders continues to do so or will they become nationalists in the face of uncertainty and possible personal tragedy.
Great men, great conversation. Keep it up John
Thanks for your support George! Much appreciated!
I certainly think less people can act naive about the consequences in good conscience after this.
It's really easy to be an activist until it starts to affect you. Realty has a way of changing people and we've had many people looking for ways to escape realty for many years.
This man is struggling very hard to think so better to do his thinking with pen and paper and then look for a teacher to help him edit the results ,but the adult education in England is dire
The bigger an organisation, the less effective it becomes. The eu does not achieve anything that oils be done without it.
Even zizjek is that his name? All ways touch his face, was calling for a world wide type mandate for a uniformed response to such a world wide crisis. It's scary that utilitarianism will be used as a mask for global facism.
He is good, but he flip flops all over place
I see a monumental shift with the Overton Window coming
Might do, but furthers the Chinese agenda.
Does Objectivism strike doubt with the "we?"
Does it scare you? Does it shatter?
trying to read the titles of the books behind him, but potato
The answer to your question in the title......Dont talk wet..its their creation
No. 1% will keep it going and we just have to follow.
