The War On Whiteness & The West - Murray's Brave New Book Exposes How We're Taught To Hate Ourselves

from New Culture Forum · host New Culture Forum

International best-selling author Douglas Murray returns to the #SWYSI sofa to discuss his critically acclaimed new book: "The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason", which the Daily Mail has hailed as "The most important book of the year" (https://www.amazon.co.uk/War-West-How...) In his book Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it? "It’s become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What’s more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy. "In 'The War on the West', Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world’s most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, 'The War on the West' is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray’s status as one of the world’s foremost political writers."
