​@@zeuseygastony6385I'm just wondering why you think that your opinion as to whether he should automatically enter debates just because you think he should, is valid? People are sometimes invited to partake in debates, discussions, or events. Acceptance of invitations is not mandatory. One chooses to take part or not. For example, have you attended every wedding, birthday party, or other event, to which you were invited?

My favourite recent morsel of news from the land of American entertainment is hearing about how actress Cynthia Nixon is going on a 'hunger strike' as a way to draw attention to her demand for a ceasefire between Gaza and Israel. The best detail of all is how this epic fast of great geopolitical consequence is only going to be for-- quote-- "two or three days". Sensational. The self-regard these luvvies have for themselves is really astonishing to behold. I love it.

England? What do you mean? England is a region of the UK, surely? And in the grand scheme of things England, aka the UK, is in an absolute spiral of destruction and is fast on its why to being a third world country. The debt and the foundations are unsustainable. And this guy that you're praising actually left to go live in the bastion of corruption, so I guess that shows you just how patriotic he is. It's all about the self, remember... And the last time I was in England, it seemed to me to be a country full of not very English looking or sounding people. Perhaps one should consider getting ones house in order? Patriotism, being the last refuge of the scoundrel, and all that. 😢

@@stevencarson9228 Reread my comment. And your observations are duly noted, which is why y’all need someone like Douglas Murray to run the country of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. And the last time I checked, Douglas Murray was born in London, which makes him a Englishman. Remember, all Englishmen are British, but not all Brits are Englishmen.

I could listen to Douglas Murray talk endlessly. He's introduced the word "boring" into my personal lexicon, which feels much more satisfying to say rather than, "not worth wasting my time on".

What a breath of fresh air this man is. Well done Chris for bringing him on and keeping the importance of truth alive ❤️

When Douglas sort of looks off into the distance with a little smile and says "well that's the classic thing, the place you end up is the place you started from." For some reason my heart melted.

Whatever the case, what do you think Douglas is lying to himself about? How can you be sure it's actual "moral clarity" and it doesn't just SEEM that way? Because it jibes with your own sense of morals? Because a bunch of people agree with him? Because he's sold a lot of books? Is any of this evidence enough? Do you have other evidence? And how can you be 100% certain you're not lying to yourself about what YOU think is moral/immoral?

🤣🤣🤣 "screaming harpies of insanity"-Douglas Murray and this is my new favorite quote.

I'm Dutch. We've had a housing shortage for decades, at least in the areas with research universities and jobs for that education level. The government has done virtually nothing to solve this. In fact, they've made it so much worse by retaining the totally unfair income tax break they give to highly-educated foreign workers, by attracting probably tens of thousands of foreign students (if not more), by allowing in all these illegals and refugees and their dependents. Hardly any additional housing was built over the past couple of decades. Social housing is a mess and favours people who no longer fit the profile but who aren't kicked out, blocking up social housing with waiting lists now between 10-20 years in some areas. I got more education opportunities than my parents did but I've also got more ambition and I'm more suited to higher education. And we mustn't forget degree inflation where jobs you used to be able to get with a Master's now require a PhD... My parents had more economic benefits I'd say as housing and raising a family was affordable even on one income of a skilled manual labourer. That's totally out of the question now, I think? But I do think our expectations are also different. The house my parents bought was a dump and required a lot of work. I'm not willing to do that, I guess also because of how much it would still cost despite being a dump... My parents will likely get the full state pension when I'm willing to bet this no longer exists when I'm 65+ despite me having to pay into this now.

Thank you 🙏🏻 so easily flowing and very enjoyable conversation!!

Douglas' thoughts at the 50-minute mark about the logical conclusion of the "colonizers" argument were simultaneously profound and hilarious. I had always known their arguments were bunk but to hear it put this way just makes it so obvious.
