The things you are worried about will continue to work thensekves out, just like all the things that worried ppl in the past- classic example, the alarmism over population growth. The reasons for alarmism have been repeatedly debunked for hundreds of years, yet it’s the first place armchair intellectuals go without actually looking at the long term trends (that population has exploded and living standards continue to improve. The population is plateauing at 10.5bn in about 80 years time and the standard of living is still increasing, the poorest seeing the fastest improvements.

Douglas' facial expression is hilarious!

Anyone who favors investing absolute authority in a centralized government is obviously a total fool.

OMG..if that was my daughter or sister I would be so embarrassed. And this is our future…scary! Parents stop coddling your children, give them responsibilities when young and let them fail, kick them out when their 18 and let them grow up, and stop giving and paying for all their little desires. They’ve been dumbing down American kids since Obama …kids under their parents medical insurance until their 26….are you kidding me!? Not kidding in America, they have training courses for company leaders and staff how to coddle and softly handle the younger generation…absolute insanity!!!

So if we buy Douglas's book we go on a watch list, ?? Bloody disgraceful , what is going on with the UK.

Douglas Murray is one of the greatest minds of the century. He needs to come home and assist in political change, for the better!

Why do we keep donating time to these things and these people. Set up some spaces without laws, without knowledge of history, without capitalism, without...you get the idea. Send all of these people there, and lock the gates.

I'm so disappointed , Murray is a sell out

I would start with simple questions “what do you want”?, then “ok, so who pays for it”?

As a Canadian, I find this rather odd. How on earth could RR Tolkien, Joseph Conrad, and George Orwell be considered white supremacist reading? We literally were assigned to read 1984 in my grade 8 English class. This wasn't even that long ago... Where can I one view this list of books online?

What blows me away is that if you ask one of these people what they want their life to look like, not being a cog in the machine. They can't answer, or it's basically their current life(all the trappings of capitalism), but not having a day job.

Rita Panahi and Douglas Murray, two of my favourite people, together again. I always enjoy their inter-global engagements. Together, they invariably lift my mood.

My bookshelf would be suspect in the UK.

I was surprised to hear Douglas say that NATO has nothing to do with the Ukraine /Russia conflict

@hofzichtlaan28

Жыл бұрын

Why are you surprised? Putin says he has to defend Russia from NATO. But he never said which NATO country. The border states are Norway, the Baltics and Poland. If we weren't in a defence alliance, Putin would have the ability and the will to run over all of these in a week. None of these countries, nor NATO is a threat to Russia. So yes, NATO is just a too transparent excuse. There is no territorial threat to Russia from NATO. Even if Ukraine had also been a member. Difference would be Putin could not have attacked. Primarily because of the superior air defence Ukraine would have had.

@Oddbjorn Skilbrei well I disagree. A NATO country, as you say, is not alone. So they are a threat. It would seem that although Ukraine is not a member, there is plenty of evidence they certainly are getting NATO help and every desire to be a part. If you believe that NATO with its main backers being the US, are not a threat to Russia you are living in a dream world. Just research how much the US and its CIA decide how this world must be.

Murray has also written the book "NeoConservatism: Why We Need It", which can be one explanation his views and "blind" spots. In general I enjoy his takes but in general I also have have quite a few disagreements with neo-conservative views and methods. E.g. how US has been propping and supporting numerous anti democratic factions just because they happen to support them at the time. E.g. US and UK were training, arming, financing and supporting groups like mujahideen in Afganistan, same people who later became bit more globally famous as Talibans. Similarly US was propping up and paving way to ISIS, or how about that whole Operation Condor which US performed across South-America? For decades those people (neo cons) have used The good official "we are supporting democracy", while same time helping and making various anti-democratic radical groups around the world to have more influence and power than ever, because it has short term benefits to support them. Then 10-20-30 years later complaining how those same radical people they were previously helping to gain power are now in power. But they are dictatorial and anti-democratic! Yes, they always were even when they got supported by so called western democracies which now complaining how dictatorial and anti-democratic those factions are.

It's a pity that an intelligent man as Douglas does not see the truth of the war...does he get paid ??

I guess you can't have it all ways. I admire Douglas Murray's work but like so many across the world, they fall into the neocon trap of seeing the Russian "bogey man". Like fat Doris (sic) our former PM, a major cheerleader for the "Cokehead Of Kiev" aka Zelensky. The same critics of Russia had f-all to say when the nazis and fascists of Ukraine overthrew the previous President, and had the Azov Brigades commit atrocities and terror on the Russian population of the Dombas.

We don't live in a free market economy Douglas. We live under a system of monopolistic corporate welfare for the rich and austerity for everyone else. If we lived under a free market system, the Government would not have spent billions of taxpayers money bailing out the banks. Under the free market as envisioned by Adam Smith, we also wouldn't have a few giant corporations controlling the economy. In essence, what we have today is socialism for the rich!

The Commie girl at the start, sounded like a younger sibling having a meltdown, during a family monopoly game.

Being a teenager is a very dangerous thing. For every body.
