That's the biggest load of codswallop. This is the problem with people who keep screaming about individual rights. As the gentlemen say in this video, it about what is best for the collective, society as a whole. The focus on individual rights alone without regard for societal rights is the reason why the US and Europe is the current state it is in. Balancing the rights of both is important to ensure a harmanious society.

I've been saying this for years, as a gay male I do not 'identify' myself LGBTQ. I am simply gay, have a long-term male partner and live a 'normal/everyday' life. If my sexuality is private and a small part of who I am, why does it have to be at the forefront of my identity? My identity is based off who I am as a person not who I decide to sleep with behind close doors. People homogenize everyone under one banner of "Gay people" or "women", "blacks" etc. as if every single person within that 'category' will share the same views, opinions, and lifestyles. It's beyond myopic and ignorant to think that way. Love everything that was said in this video. Trust me, put multiple gay or bi men in one room and you will see none of them are alike. Women from culture to culture have very different opinions on different subjects also, as goes for every other group in this world include white men. Not all white men are powerful CEO's/rich/power hungry POS as the woke left tries to portray them.

It is a social epidemic in the schools and though I believe there may be A Student in a school class, it is not a wave or tsunami of genuine gender dysphoria... that is the social virus aspect.

As a brown female, who has shaved her head in the past and dyed it many colors, including blue, who also happens to be fiscally conservative and believes in the federal government staying out of state affairs, I wholeheartedly agree. It’s not just limited to sexuality but everything is used to lump us together. Any time someone uses extremes or absolutes, like never, always or all, it tells me that they really aren’t a fan of critical thinking or personal experience. Like Murray said, that’s the point. They want to separate us because we’d be more powerful working together on a single topic than each going for special interests. It’s why the US is in such a tumult. People, highlighted by the Trump run, have taken identity politics and shaken them like a snow globe.

We're so used to hearing "Us First Nations people want/say this and that!!", but there is no such coherrant "people" really.

@championchap Actually no, speaking truth to power means being willing to tell the truth even if doing so might harm you in some way. Speaking the plain truth is simply conveying a fact, rain is wet. It's true and it takes no courage to say so, well at least until the left comes up with a way to try and decouple us from that reality.

I've lately been listening to Douglas Murray and I've got to say I love what he talks about and agree with him...I try my best to understand everything he talks about but I'm gripped

I love videos that talk in detail about everything I am upset about or irritated by with precision explanation.

Thank you Mr Murray for being very articulate in your views - all makes complete sense to me ✅

When any of these social issues are politicized you are guaranteeing that they will never be resolved.

absolutely beautifully put i really admire the eloquence and clarity of thought of this man, and also appreciate the interviewer, which is thoughtful and lets him speak. I did miss these qualities as of late.

"Why would we be taking the individualism out of the individual?". -- Douglas Murray Answer: Because not doing so would lessen any political capital that a particular 'community' has to gain. It's much harder for an individual to 'change the system' than it is for an entire community.

Groups can’t make decisions, only individuals can, and believing groups can make decisions is really just believing that the majority in a group has the right to make decisions for the minority, aka collectivism

We need more people like Douglas to turn around our woke society. Who ever believes that dividing a nation into small groups of people with a focus on their own special interest would make a nation strong. Division never brings strength and confusion never brings clarity. Our schools are very much to blame for the lack of teaching children to think and reason and to contribute their skills in making our nation prosperous. Instead we are focusing on every special interest group, every minority, every word that might be offensive to someone in one of those groups and even changing the meaning of established words. And then we wonder why our nation is falling apart.

In my experience, non heterosexual ppl tend to think their sexuality is a major part of their personality and often impose and overshare it to others when it is unnecessary to do so. Nobody needs to know what you like to do behind closed doors and with whom in the privacy of your home.

@fomorians

There's a whole bunch of us non-heterosexual people who never even mention our sexuality unless it's absolutely relevant/necessary. Precisely because it's meant to be private. I'm sorry about your experiences, but those people are simply insecure and need attention.

I mean, that is because unless they "impose or overshare" it you naturally assume they are heterosexual and therefore, those who keep it to themselves are not part of your experience with non-heterosexuals.

Douglas Murray is brilliant. Pure and simple.

It is always a pleasure to listen to Douglas Murray, so much common sense.

The point made of how we have fallen into society driven categories while at the same time rejecting them is simply much deeper than it will get credit for

Well spoken Douglas Murray :) This lumping people together in groups is just insidious. They almost always exclude others. What I don't agree with is having said groups shoving their ideologies down people's throats like it's supposed to be something everyone agrees on. The fact is we're all different, have different values, race, religions, sexualities, etc. We're also all unique and our own person. There's just things that should remain unsaid. There's things about myself that no-one but my immediate family and close friends know. That's just how it should be. The stuff that gets publicised these days is obscene.

Being a member of the "non-LGBTQI+ community" has not, historically, been a source of discrimination. I'm against identity politics, but the reason why certain "groups" exist can often be traced to historical discrimination. It's because all (or most) members of that "group" all have something in common - being discriminated against. Of course "proudly identifying as straight" is silly and idiotic, because you've never had to face discrimination for being straight.
