Douglas Murray returns to the culture wars.

with 11 comments

Douglas Murray’s books have been critically reviewed on this Blog a number of times.

This is the most recent one.

2022: “The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason. Douglas Murray. Review.

“From existentialism to deconstruction, all modern thought has exhausted itself in the automatic denunciation of the West, underlining its hypocrisy, its violence and atrocities.” wrote Pascal Bruckner in 2006 (La tyrannie de la pénitence. Essai sur le masochisme occidental). In The War on the West Douglas Murray has a more dramatic target than the long-standing critic of Third Worldism and “l’auto-flagellation” of Western intellectuals. There is, he sets of his first sentences, a “cultural war” “against all the roots of of the Western tradition and against everything good that the Western tradition has produced”. The alarm sirens sound out, “There is an assault going on against everything to do with the Western world – its past present or future.”

A “grand project of deconstruction and destruction fuelled by resentment and revenge” is underway. Murray’s battlefields range from the National Trust, statues, Western Holy Places, Museums, Schools, the American centred Black Lives Matter movement, and academic and educational institutions, also centred on the USA though with some nods to domestic haunts, su

This is worth recalling:

Now he is back in the fray.

Jewish Chronicle.

As I said after watching at the Israeli embassy the other day the unedited footage of the massacre, this is one occasion when saying that some people are worse than the Nazis is not hyperbole.

Average members of the SS and other killing units of Hitler’s were rarely proud of their average days’ work. Very few felt that shooting Jews in the back of the head all day and kicking their bodies into pits was where their own lives had meant to end up.

Many spent their evenings getting blind drunk to try to forget. Nazi commanders had to worry about staff “morale”.  When the war ended, the Nazis tried to pretend that Treblinka and other death camps never existed.

Compare this with the behaviour of Hamas on October 7. 

Douglas Murray labels Hamas as ‘worse than the Nazis’ Sky.

Anti-LGBTQ Protests in Canada.

with 13 comments

“1MillionMarch4Children”A display of hatred’: Cross-country anti-LGBTQ+ rallies met with counter-protests. Montreal Gazette.

Politicians including Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh condemn “rise of hate.”

Thousands of people gathered in cities across Canada on Wednesday for competing protests, yelling and chanting at each other about the way schools instruct sexuality and gender identity and how teachers refer to transgender youth.

Counter-demonstrators, meanwhile, accused protesters of importing United States culture wars into the country and trying to deny students important lessons about inclusion and respect for gender-diverse people.

………..

Comment, reports indicate that the anti-LGBT protesters were headed by the familiar group of alt-right wingers, religious bigots, Christians and Islamists, and conspiracists.
