I am a woman and 70 yrs .....I live in Australia and I am so happy that Douglas Murray explained the meaning of WOKE! Because for the life of me hearing this word WOKE is in almost every subject of discussions.....thank you and now it makes sense when listening to people talk on certain subjects and I come away with.......WHAT ON EARTH WAS THAT ABOUT!!. OR THINKING ...DID I NOT UNDERSTAND??? 😊
woke actually means to have empathy and compassion for those around you and not some sick twisted version that has been put out by trumpies and other bigots. Those that use "woke" as a negative or an insult are biggoted racists that expose themselves the second they spew that nonsense.
@user-or4fe2sk3v Sadly, it IS working, because the goal of 'woke' is to divide and damage Western society. 'Woke' is just a clever propagandistic term to hide its political roots. In truth, it is 'Ideological Subversion' - a key weapon in the Marxist tactic known as 'the Long March Through The Institutions'.

as a woke person I believe in science, unless it conflicts with what my leaders tell me to believe about things like covid, trans in sports, and climate change. Also, I think the phrase "history repeats itself" is pretty dumb. sooner of later a really cool and successful anti-capitalist society will form and allow total freedom for all, like literally zero oppression, we just have to be very woke and I don't think we should tolerate any ideas contrary to ours because we clearly stand for freedom and expression!

Saying "hit the nail on the head" is what's become super fashionable. Madness hasn't suddenly become fashionable. It's endemic in the human condition. Let me quote the wisest man on the planet, Eckhart Tolle: “The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science or technology but the recognition of its own dysfunction, its own madness.” Read a history book or just look around you. If you can't see the sheer insanity of humanity, you're living proof of what Tolle says. The purpose of Earth life is to cure yourself of madness. It's a gym for the latent psychic self (the soul). Most of us make a mockery of the experience. That's something that never goes out of fashion

Hahahaha, this dude, not very well informed, despite that he, never once explained what woke means. Dr. Kathleen Cleaver, human rights activist, and former member of the black Panther party, first coined the term woke, back in the 1960’s, during the civil rights movement. Woke, means to be politically conscious, politically aware, well informed, to well educated on injustices.
@@MisanthropikOne Even if it were correct (and I don't believe it is) the eloquence with which he said it still is not what determines whether it's true.The fact that he sounds smart when he says it has more to do with his word choice and presentation than the actual content of what he's saying.
@@Themanwhocameback2 Well, don't wait for him to do it. You try it. I was also providing an example of using word choice to make oneself sound smarter than one actually is.
He had a good education. He was taught to think. What makes him look like a wunderkind is the fact that so many of us were subjected to a bad education we didn't complain about and still don't. We'd rather have a guru like Murray to do our thinking for us. .
“Pretends that we all know about things we know nothing about and simultaneously pretends to know nothing about things we all knew about until yesterday.” Right on
Its kinda ironic hes saying that as thats a decent description of how murray frames a lot of his arguments. I just heard him pretend he had never heard of generalisation before because he wanted to feign confusion over the phrase "community"... one minute later hes correctly using the phrase himself because there never was any confusion
That is absolutely right! They believe every other point of view is subjective, that there are only subjective points of view, except theirs. They believe that there is no such thing as truth except for there philosophy, which they give the status of absolute truth! Then they describe that contradiction as being an oxymoron! The only truth they acknowledge is relative truth and that can only be said in a very soft voice. That is why they are so accurately portrayed by the caricature of a spoilt child in a screaming fit. They are mad, deconstructive, unhinged, lunatics.

Wow, saw John Anderson (Respect) and immediately subbed. Murray - well informed, intelligent, articulate. He sorts out all the misguided and foolish journalists using history, facts and reality, which are apparent woke blind spots.
Yep, they try to create an illusion that they are the majority, when in reality they are not. It is just that they make more noise, and pitch temper tantrums constantly. They have the maturity of little children.
Such a voice of simple common sense and balanced perspectives but a sad reflection of this day and age that he has to spell it out and still the twits don’t get it! Thank you Douglas Murray it must be exasperating and exhausting at times but your eloquence wins every time.
I remember criticizing millennials in general for group think and being told by a young lady "Don't you realize that by criticizing this group you are criticizing me!". Genius.
You don't need to speak to a climate activist or Green Party member for very long before they start talking about dismantling capitalism. That's what is so off-putting about them.
‘Why would we be taking the individualism out of individuals’ Isn’t that exactly what you’ve done here ? Not trying to have an argument online. Just interested to hear how it’s different ?
@@Bigbeatmanifestothe difference being is in the sentence structure, you see. When someone says, "a green party member" and not " green party members", they are speaking about a single individual. Would you like them to put "Steve" so you have zero context about whom is being spoken about? 😂

@@Epicurwat Do you know what straw-manning is? Jokes aside, this isn't a straw-man.

That is a powerful observation. So simple to understand and yet not so simple to perform. Watching Douglass perform here is akin to watching other professionals. Seems so easy to replicate which is not the case for normies.
@@doubleseventhreefour No, Murray is making up an idea of "woke" that only exists in the minds of those who feel threatened by people rejecting race theories, and that is a classic straw-man.
Thanks for explaing. If someone is not minimally competent and contributing to society, they does not deserve to be identified, acknowledged, recognized or considered for any meaniful activity.
Please keep talking Mr Murray. We need to start repeating real truth over and over until it becomes mainstream again. I wish I had the personality to speak up.

Maybe instead, ask why these people are so easily offended by such things as history, definitions, and freedom.
That is brilliant. Douglas Murray is one of my favorite thinkers. And, frankly, one of the bravest people on earth. When society begins to crumble, people like his stand in the gap.
Hahahaha, this dude, not very well informed, despite that he, never once explained what woke means. Dr. Kathleen Cleaver, human rights activist, and former member of the black Panther party, first coined the term woke, back in the 1960’s, during the civil rights movement. Woke, means to be politically conscious, politically aware, well informed, to well educated on injustices.
@@johnnyflores5954that's what it meant, to them. Now it means something else.
Woke = Clown World subordinate.
@@johnnyflores5954Woke is just progressivism with a zionistic approach and reasoning
@@johnnyflores5954He explained it perfectly. The original term is now meshed with intersectionality, which I'm sure you already know. Nice try 😏
@@johnnyflores5954 thats 1960's woke. This is not the same as the current
Such a breathe of fresh air to hear Douglas speak!
This guy makes one point amazingly well, bigots never see themselves as bigots, they just see themselves as being right.
What an absolute breath of fresh air is this man.
This eloquence is so rare nowadays ...
It's a joy to listen to .
Eloquence doesn't necessarily imply correctness.
@@NoOne-dj1ouIn this case, it does.
@@MisanthropikOne Even if it were correct (and I don't believe it is) the eloquence with which he said it still is not what determines whether it's true.The fact that he sounds smart when he says it has more to do with his word choice and presentation than the actual content of what he's saying.
Blah, blah, blah,. BS. Douglas Murray could cut you to the root with a 3 word declarative sentence. @@NoOne-dj1ou
@@Themanwhocameback2 Well, don't wait for him to do it. You try it.
I was also providing an example of using word choice to make oneself sound smarter than one actually is.
Murray is not only so clear, but so elegantly clear.
He had a good education. He was taught to think. What makes him look like a wunderkind is the fact that so many of us were subjected to a bad education we didn't complain about and still don't. We'd rather have a guru like Murray to do our thinking for us. .
@@aleccullen2696 He could use a shave.
I am a conservative lesbian who thinks that transwomen competing is women's sports is ridiculous!
“Pretends that we all know about things we know nothing about and simultaneously pretends to know nothing about things we all knew about until yesterday.”
Right on
Its kinda ironic hes saying that as thats a decent description of how murray frames a lot of his arguments. I just heard him pretend he had never heard of generalisation before because he wanted to feign confusion over the phrase "community"... one minute later hes correctly using the phrase himself because there never was any confusion
Murray is a political hack. He cares more about scoring political points than being correct or making sense
Woke requires the denial of objective reality.
Just like church requires undying and unequivocal surrender to d sky man, or risk eternal punishment 😂😂
It’s cultist
That is absolutely right!
They believe every other point of view is subjective, that there are only subjective points of view, except theirs.
They believe that there is no such thing as truth except for there philosophy, which they give the status of absolute truth!
Then they describe that contradiction as being an oxymoron!
The only truth they acknowledge is relative truth and that can only be said in a very soft voice.
That is why they are so accurately portrayed by the caricature of a spoilt child in a screaming fit.
They are mad, deconstructive, unhinged, lunatics.
Capitalism and class is the objective reality.Facts which Douglas Murray ignores.
@@leonharrison800it's not like you **Should** fight against it it has been this way and it's time and tested capitalism works but what really is the issue here is the fact unchecked capitalists are the ones funding the woke and woke themselves never adhere to their supposed equality thinking and perspectives, it's just controlled opposition
Being aware? Is that all you idiots see yourselves as? Don't wanna talk about the disastrous anti human globalist outcomes of the woke mind virus put into action?@@AHeinermann
Douglas Murray is an asset to society. We need this exposure in society
Forward it to your friends!
Truth is spoken
I want him to rule the UK 🇬🇧
Douglas Murray is a charlatan, a fraud
He says what I already believe so he must be right.
I have been listening to Douglas Murry for a very long time now never get tired of listening to him.❤
I would love to meet this man and shake his hand. He is an absolute legend.
Douglas Murray really does put things in a nutshell. Excellent. 😊
Douglas Murray we need more people like you!
Brilliant. I love how he states so clearly what everyone has known for 10k years. Thank you.
True, true, true. I could’ve listened to him for hours.
Douglas Murray hitting the nail on the head again. Just ordered three of his books. Looking forward them arriving.
And you will enjoy them, although there are some hard truths to swallow !
Cultural Marxism = wokeness now
It will be an education and an eye opener it was for me when I read them
That’s if they don’t get burnt first 😉
Just received war on the west this morning. We need to protect this man.
I too love listening to Douglas Murray……he’s so funny in the way he delivers his narrative. I agree with every word he says ❤️❤️❤️
It is refreshing to hear someone speaks with intelligent clarity - great observations. 👍🏻thank you!
I could listen to Douglas talk all day. ❤
Douglas Murray is always brilliant. He is a great thinker and always...ALWAYS makes complete sense!👍
Not only is he a smart man but he can eloquently articulate his positions. It is a skill that most people don't have. We could use more like him.
I mean... He immediately contradicts himself in this video. He's also the guy who supported invading Iraq and Brexit. Hardly smart?
A wise and truthful man! Thank you.
Thank you DM , listening to someone who has a perfect command of the English language , unlike many who dare to vent their pleen on television .
Rational, logical , criticality & clarity of thought. That's Douglas Murray..

Douglas, thank you for speaking truth.
Spot on Douglas Murray. Common Sense we need more of.
"End capitalism" or "smash the patriarchy". It's the same yearning for destruction instead of an effort to improve and build things.
The reason they can't "smash" it is because there is no such thing.
@@The_integral_anomaly The fact remains that there still is a desire to destroy something, just that there is no specific tangible target. It's like an undirected "world anger" against everything and everyone, including themselves since they have no where to direct their preoccupying anger towards. That's why they can and are getting angry at literally everything (see "Blog Shuts Down After Calling Everything Racist" comedy skit by Ryan Long).

This explanation is so apt for what happened yesterday at the 2024 Paris olympics, Douglas has foreseen what this culture would be like!
fantastic, glad to have figures like this in our time
They are becoming rare or drowned
Such an intelligent human.
Thank You for explaining this serious situation.
What a great man .He just tells the truth .and I wish he was our prime minster and had real power .to make real change .not the fools we have now in power .Blue or red .
They do have real power to enslave you with CBDC & make real change, you will just never hear Murray talk about that.
What truth? Capitalism is global.class dociety. Why racist,sexism.and lgbt hate exists. And why nothing done about human caused climate change!!! The facts Douglas Murray refuses to accept. Dtop pretending this Bigot is " intelligent"! The man lies about everything!!!!
But can’t tell us why being woke is bad?
Or in other word why being a sensitive, caring and thinking of others and their cultures is so bad?
@@kylethedalek Changing the meaning of words to fit a narrative doesn't make you a good person. Mutulating & indoctrinating kids, while they can't name 1 continent or country while being in college, is not sensitive, caring & is very bad.
@@kylethedalek And if you can't point any countries on a map, others & their culture is to no concern of you in any way shape or form. US caring for other countries tends to change them in a warzone for decades.
1 person out of a hundred says 'this is racist/sexist/whatever'.
The various media companies panic and change to appeal to that 1%.
That's how I view wokeness.
He's a gem
Amazing what he can convey without character assassination or degrading people.
It’s continues to be in my head that woke doesn’t see people as individuals but as groups.
🤣I see what you did there!
communism is what woke people are beginning for let them have it
you are doing the same thing but don't like the way they are doing
@@Achxlx Bs, it was going one way forever. Then you got people in they feelings trying to change what comes natural.
Woke simply means _not a bigot._ Bigotry is anti-freedom and Un-American.
Wow, saw John Anderson (Respect) and immediately subbed. Murray - well informed, intelligent, articulate. He sorts out all the misguided and foolish journalists using history, facts and reality, which are apparent woke blind spots.
The vocal few know they do not have the majority support... they need to 'group' to push through their agenda.
Indeed, 'group think' 😊
Yep, they try to create an illusion that they are the majority, when in reality they are not. It is just that they make more noise, and pitch temper tantrums constantly. They have the maturity of little children.
Such a voice of simple common sense and balanced perspectives but a sad reflection of this day and age that he has to spell it out and still the twits don’t get it! Thank you Douglas Murray it must be exasperating and exhausting at times but your eloquence wins every time.
Isn't it weird how he contradicts himself in this video though? Being an Iraq war and Brexit supporter is hardly the height of intelligence either...
I remember criticizing millennials in general for group think and being told by a young lady "Don't you realize that by criticizing this group you are criticizing me!". Genius.
.....yep, I've been in the same situation and there are exceptions to these rules.....but the millennials, that lot just aren't right at all.
I criticized radical feminism, and my young sister blurted out; do you hate women? Sad.
What a great opportunity to guide her on a proper world view

So when Trump said, "I love the uneducated" he was woke?
Maybe alt woke?@@bvm3925
This is one clever man,,total respect Douglas.👍
We need more people talking this sense and confronting woke cretins.
Imagine someone would have seen this 10 years or 100 years or 1,000 years ago. They would have no clue what it's all about.
With a few exceptions like the Weimar republic.
They would have no clue what most today is about.

Douglas no one can beat your reasoning or analysis for a disputable unsolved issue. Douglas love you❤
You don't need to speak to a climate activist or Green Party member for very long before they start talking about dismantling capitalism. That's what is so off-putting about them.
Seems to be very many routes to dismantling capitalism, but not very many to fix the actual problems.
Yes, and you will also know, without even asking, their views on matters like abortion, trans rights, etc. They never break away from the script.
‘Why would we be taking the individualism out of individuals’ Isn’t that exactly what you’ve done here ? Not trying to have an argument online. Just interested to hear how it’s different ?
@@Bigbeatmanifesto Lol, this is spot on. And Douglas is doing to same 😂
@@Bigbeatmanifestothe difference being is in the sentence structure, you see.
When someone says, "a green party member" and not " green party members", they are speaking about a single individual. Would you like them to put "Steve" so you have zero context about whom is being spoken about? 😂
Brilliant explanation, I so understand. I'm sick of this old woke joke.😮
I love how Douglas poses the question that he already knows the answer to it's a great example of the power of the critical thought process, ask the question, observe and learn the answer.
It's called straw-manning, it's a common debating technique used by liars.
@@Epicurwat Do you know what straw-manning is?
Jokes aside, this isn't a straw-man. A straw-man is intentionally misinterpreting the opponents argument so you end up arguing something much easier for you and harder for them. What the commenter described is much more similar to the Socratic method, developed by renounced genius of the ancient world Socrates.
That is a powerful observation. So simple to understand and yet not so simple to perform.
Watching Douglass perform here is akin to watching other professionals. Seems so easy to replicate which is not the case for normies.
It's also a powerful tool to use when unaware of confirmation bias.
@@doubleseventhreefour No, Murray is making up an idea of "woke" that only exists in the minds of those who feel threatened by people rejecting race theories, and that is a classic straw-man.
Thank goodness for Douglas Murray.
I'm so thankful for people who have common sense and aren't afraid to use it.
Love listening to this man. He is like a proper English Thomas Sowell or Victor Davis Hansen. I always feel smarter after listening to any of them.
😂
100% !!! I just found another common sense person to listen to. Fantastic piece
Thanks for explaing. If someone is not minimally competent and contributing to society, they does not deserve to be identified, acknowledged, recognized or considered for any meaniful activity.
Love this man he's so spot on in what he says Every word that comes out of his mouth is common sense
Please keep talking Mr Murray.
We need to start repeating real truth over and over until it becomes mainstream again.
I wish I had the personality to speak up.
You do. Start today and practice. It takes time but anyone can leatn.
Thank goodness someone is intelligent and talks complete sense 👏
Nobody comes close to Douglas when thrashing out an arguement of any kind. He knows his stuff. He would make a brilliant MP, patriotic, hard as nails and takes no nonsense from anyone, and besides he can see the damage being done to our country. 🇬🇧
