      The level headed people stand by Israel. The others are just very loud and very organized when it comes to protesting. But yes Israel and all that is good in this world needs people like Murray. I love that he is relentless in his pursuit and defence of truth as well as fight against woke and leftist destructive ideologies. We stand with you.

    I'm thrilled to see one of the contemporary world's greatest public intellectuals speaking in Canada!!! No country needs to hear his frank, unapologetic defense of Western Civilization more than Canada, as this country has been so immersed in "progressive" dogma and indoctrination since roughly 2015. Vancouverites are very fortunate to have been exposed to Douglas's insight, honesty, and wisdom. Hopefully, audiences in Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal will also have an opportunity to learn from exposure to his ideas, as the residents of these woke-infested metropolises desperately need to hear his clear-thinking message.

    For me, a person of mixed Hispanic and aborigin heritage, the values of the west ocuppy a predominant place in my personal mindset. It's not "colonialism" or "white imperialist imposition" as many people on the side of left ideology tend to think. I STAND with the values of the west because those values made possible the technological advances we enjoy today, the democracy, the freedom of speech (which is now in peril, specially in Canada), indivual liberty, all of them are values derived from the classical liberalism, the English and American enlightening, etc we have to defend those values from the madness of wokism, sordid hardcore socialism and self destructive hate of western civilization. Those values do matter and represent the best of humankind, not because they are of a "western origin" but because those values defend and uphold the freedom of the individual. That is precisely why they were so successful. Western Individualism gave us the gift of society, because without the concept of the individual, we will never have a free society,. The alternative is colectivism, a green, woke dictatorship and tyranny of the mobs.

      @herbwiseman9084 8 місяців тому

      Is Western Civilization worth defending? What a STUPID question. There is a major need to reform western civilization. Not tear it down. But face its negative aspects.
      As Murray points out in his book The Madness of Crowds, progress starts with good intentions and genuine progress, but then gets vandalized. And it starts with so-called think tanks like MLI that reify economic notions all the time. And reifying theories is where the problems begin.
      Brian Lee Crowley defends the Austrian school of Economics in his work and the MLI leans that way both failing to realize that it is part of the current wave of problems in western civilization that underpins the current neoliberal age of austerity. He glorifies the enlightenment while being a fan for Austrian economics and F.A. Hayek. It makes no sense.
      It is part of the weapons of mass distraction characterized by identity politics instead of identifying problems that need solving by attending to common interests.

      It's not, and the fact that it's not is a symptom of a very big problem in the west: the west has been peaceful for SO long, it doesn't even understand the concept of "an enemy".
      The idea that, should Israel stand back, it's people will keep getting destroyed does not, and can not, stick as reality in minds of the western people. They think that, if only Israel stopped, pulled it's forces back, disarmed and stepped down; everything would be beautiful and the joyous happy free loving people of Palestine would happy go lucky into the future. They cannot possibly accept that the moment Israel pulls back; the Israeli civilians are going to be brutalised. And if that happens, the stupid west will tell you "well, you had it coming for your eviling".
      Just like when, in the west, a black man breaks the law; the westerners say "well we had it coming because we were slavers; and now it's absolutely cool to rob a mall if you're black".
      It's insanity.

    Douglas, you are great. Enjoyed your take down of the ridiculous South African journalist last week and again the eloquence of this delivery. So rare but needed these days. Like water on dry earth. The comment on Churchill "having work to do" and therefore not running around do social justice stuff brought the old adage to mind ... "Those that are rowing the boat, dont have time to rock the boat ..." So much more true today than ever before. The agitators are invariably those without education or jobs or families or doing anything that matters; those who want something for nothing (free loans, free education, those who choose to do easy and ridiculous degrees like Women's Studies and then demand high paying salaried jobs for their efforts). Gone are the days of decent education, critical rational thought and true classical liberalism.

    Douglas Murray: "When your prime minister announced his separation from his wife I said probably the first time a man has divorced his wife because he wants to spend more time with himself." -- It perfectly captured the shallowness and narcissism of that individual, and someone in the audience immediately called out "Meow!" to acknowledge the almost feline precision of the observation.

    in 1980 I was given a medal which contained the words of Itzack Rabin, an Israeli general and later prime minister, and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Following Jewish custom, he wrote a note and placed it in a hole in the western wall of the Temple in Jerusalem after the six day war in 1967. The words of his prayer note to God said "Maybe peace will come". When my son swore his oath to serve in Israel's army, the company General told all the parents not to have any illusions, and that every soldier would be fighting in wars. No one wants peace more than soldiers and the sons and daughters of soldiers, by the way Rabin loved agriculture and he wanted to be a water engineer to make the desert bloom, blessed be his memory. We honour Douglas for the truth he tells the world.

    Regarding the "would you fight for your country" question; in my 20s i was proud to serve the UK and held the same view up until about 10 years ago. Now i would say "No" and would urge my kids not to. Yet the reality is;
    a)I would fight for my country but not its current generation of politicians.
    b) I don't see our greatest enemy as being foreign but domestic, and pray with all heart that that battle of ideas which is coming never comes to actual violence/fighting.

    Just how great is Douglas Murray? I shall miss his wisdom when he can no longer speak due to the woke shutting him down, either by misuse of law or by violent force. Mark my words that day will come I assure you when George Orwell will be proved right... “how many fingers do you see?” The answer will be... as many as I order you to see!

    I remember years ago in 2014, this man used to hold up this sign in the middle of the city in Melbourne most days. It said “end racism now”. I think that was my first sign that the world was going mad. I remember thinking what a ridiculous statement it was, but assumed he was just a crazy person.
    Now statements like this are commonplace.

    Grossman's "Life and Fate" is a superb novel and so is his shorter novel "Everything Flows" about a political prisoner returning to his native village after he has been released from the Gulag. I wouldn't worry about Russia invading the Baltic States, Douglas. Don't believe everything you hear on Times Radio.

      I personally think they're better in their roles, but they lay the intellectual foundation for others who can handle that miserable job of being a politician. We in Canada have a terrific guy who really is about as smart as Douglas plus can encapsulate things well, turn out slogans and sit down with the average guy too: Pierre Poilievre. Not the PM yet but as soon as possible, I hope.

    We've also been told that war is stupid and bad, and that's true. My entire life from childhood has been books, movies and an education that tells me to learn from the mistakes of the past, including war and totalitarianism, & not repeat them, but here we are, heading back towards violence. We did this to ourselves and we're not fit to do anything to stop it because we've had it too easy, apparently.

Sure some other civilization have do well in specific areas but generally western civilization leads over other civilization in terms of values . Overall all i feel safer if western civilization shape the global values ( within scrutiny of course).
