Douglas Murray @ Lafayette, The Strange Death of Europe, Full Event

[@nubl37]

Douglas Murray is surely one of the greatest intellectuals of our times.

[@hans-joachimbierwirth4727]

Douglas Murray is surel one of the most pathetic liars of all times. He is claiming underlying reasons that had nothing to do with the events. There are indeed three reasons. First is, islamic money is driving the stock markets and whoever is invested in the stock markets doesn't want them to pull out. Second is, conservative idiots see Islam as an allie in the cold war. Third is, conservatives have no basic understanding of economy and believe in "growth" without any clue how to stimulate that which made them embrace immigration. Plain and simple. No guilt, no tirednees, but greed, corruption and stupidity. Murray is either an idiot or a liar.

[@serpentines6356]

@Boris Farage...Why?

[@serpentines6356]

@Boris Farage...What is the 'crap' he is making up?

[@danstewart2770]

You must be easily impressed. Douglas Murray couldn't have been more tepid and tentative. Too bad, when asked, he just couldn't muster the courage to forthrightly say he views the identity of Europe to be the culture of Western Civilization and the people who built it, and mass immigration-especially from Islamic countries-poses an existential threat to its future. Instead, he speaks in quibbling euphemisms and pointless parables. He utterly fails to make the anti-immigration case for Europe and the entire presentation reeks of cowardice and retreat. Ironically, much like Obama, Murray simply couldn't bring himself to say the words "Islamic extremism," in fact he couldn't say Islam at all. Not his finest hour. Abjectly disappointing. .

When I first saw the title I was shocked that someone as esteemed and brilliant as Douglas Murray would speak at a typical regressive leftist indoctrination site like Lafayette. Then I listened and was very impressed with the moderators, students, and questioners. Thank you.

[@ruara5009]

I love this man, he teaches English how to be proud to be of their own ancestry. We need more people like that in the British media. Migrant myself, I came to appreciate and love British values, but can't see myself adopting yet another sub-set of Arab values, we must always remember that that in relation to Islam we as white people have always been on the right side of History. We must remember the date of 1683 when it's all came to a head and our ancestors have made a choice for us and that is to reject Islam and Arab/Ottoman culture. Of course Bulgaria suffered long after being pillaged and raped all in the name of peaceful religion.

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

RuaRa, he suggests a preference for feeling grateful over proud of our western civilisation. A C Grayling goes into real detail about the West’s history in its great ability to grow its freedoms and rights, those which are the reason immigration happens mainly toward it not away from it

[@ruara5009]

And so we should be feeling grateful. Because freedom is fragile, cultures can be broken, it takes thousands of years to build empires, and moments to break them.

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

RuaRa, I entirely agree. It’s interesting though, gratitude is a feeling of thankfulness whereas pride is more a feeling of accomplishment. In that it you can’t compete so easily over who is most thankful as you can who has achieved better, the former can’t be used to impose whereas the latter can, and I suspect this may be douglas’s reasoning. Nothing inherently wrong with rooting for one’s team, as you would your family in a community game or your country in the olympics, but gratitude is a kind of intragroup perspective, of appreciating the efforts of ancestors without being able to weaponise it, as is otherwise the case with pride. Given that we do currently have our civilisation, we are in an secure position to express gratitude of all our ancestors have done to build our freedoms and safeties, and to let these get destroyed would be an insult to their sacrifices and hard work

[@Kurtlane]

Race has re-entered American discussion in a very strange way: the more non-racist the population at large becomes, the more they (who?) scream about it being a totally racist country. I remember long ago reading an interview with a man who used to be racist. He said, "Call someone a racist too many times, and he will be a racist." It seems to me this is happening in Europe too.

[@serpentines6356]

@Kurtlane....Yes, I remember when I started to notice liberal media pushing 'racism' almost all the time. It started to be very irritating. I couldn't stand it after awhile, and had to start turning off the 'liberal ' shows.

[@mrs.schmenkman]

This is because there is in fact an organized effort to manipulate all western culture into destroying itself. The divide and conquer effort is pretty straight forward. Break everyone off into groups then have the groups learn to hate anyone they see as an oppressor. Eventually everyone is an oppressor. Et al...

[@jhljhl6964]

I have just begun reading it. A very important book.

[@Aubergine1941]

I grew up in Austria and there were a lot of Gastarbeiter (Guest-workers). And we did think they would go back home. The clue is in the word Gast (guest). Guests don't stay - at some point they return home. Most of these guest workers were Turkish and Yugoslavian. The reason we thought they would WANT to go back home was that they earned much better money in Austria but that money was worth much more in Turkey. The Turks in Austria lived in very bad conditions in comparison to the Austrian people. This was not because they were paid badly or bad housing was provided for them but because they sent every Groschen (Penny) they could back to Turkey and had their family there build nice houses for them. In other words that money which was enough to rent reasonable housing in Austria bought them GREAT houses at home. The problem with the Turks was that the children who were schooled in Austria - and especially the girls - did not want to go to that culture. It was not a problem with the Yugoslavian people as their culture wasn't that different from our own - they just integrated and became indistinguishable.

[@sbam4881]

When I was a kid, I spent 4 years in Austria as my dad was a diplomat posted to Vienna. I wasn't particularly fond of it as I felt it wasn't a place for a young kid and the demographic seemed to skew older people there, but I always thought it was a beautiful city. Last year, I want back for a visit - first time in 30 years - and the place is a dump garbage, graffity, chipped stones and peeling paint even on main thoroughfares. Went to take a few photos of the old school I went to and a security dude rushed over and gave me a quiz. Told them why I was there and the guy just didn't want to hear and just said verboten (forbidden) in a pleading tone. (I am guessing peodos targeting school kids is such a thing there now that they are petrified - and the saddest thing of all was him pleading rather than demanding - the fire has left Osterreich). So sad for Europe, we will mourn for you when you are gone. Signed: The Buddhist Far East.

[@harrytd]

I find this a lot with these talks based at universities: Douglas shows endless patience with some very dullard questions. I thought at the very least, university taught one how to think, digest and summarise. In other words, get to the point quickly. At least it did when I was there. What the hell has happened?

Douglas Murray is one of the bright lights of Europe and I think that he is a brilliant man and God bless him.

He is a very brave and amazing critic...

[@kwyzi]

great article. Love this Douglas

[@btpennycook]

Another great Q and A from Douglas whom is not afraid to speak the truth unlike our cowardly politicians in the UK

[@jraney69]

I think the host has mischaracterized Jordan Peterson. Peterson would not say: "The only way to revitalize Western Culture is to rescue...Christianity...). Peterson would say something like: Westerners, and young people in particular, need to take personal responsibility for their behavior, fix your own life before judging others, which will improve the world. Recognize the amazing quality of life we inherited from millennia of human suffering, and don't waste it. On Christianity, Peterson's main thrust is to encourage Westerners to understand their Christian-ness, to learn Western history and the Christian archetypes that shaped who we already are. Anytime he's pushed on the matter, Peterson will not confirm his own belief in God, let alone claim we should all be followers. There is an important difference, and you've failed to understand the nuance.

[@abbamanic]

Always an informative pleasure to hear Douglas speak. But seemed without his usual passion and fire this time. And the audio was appalling.

[@Paul.Morgan]

He had jet-lag. He was still great though.

Whenever I listen to Douglas Murray I applaud at intervals, but when he concludes I'm left with a feeling (in musical terms) of a long fade out rather than a resounding conclusion. For that I go to Anne Marie Waters.

[@captainbleedinobvious5388]

I've read the book (TSDE) and recommend it. However I do think he should have gone over the so called Kalergi plan. It seems that these intellectuals are scared to go there, it's also the same with the work of Kevin Macdonald (who writes about what he sees as jewish involvement in immigration in the US and Europe as well as other things)

[@TheZestyCar]

Captain Bleedin' Obvious Indeed.

[@idedwards100]

I agree Captain, and whilst I love Douglas for what he does and his book meticulously TSDE explains all the symptoms and even diagnoses that the patient will eventually die if not treated - he says very little about the cause, preferring to use language such as 'lack of will' or 'temporary loss of sanity' rather than what it is: wilful ethnocide of Europeans from everywhere they live on this planet, by force. The UN, Regional, and National governments are complicit in this. The Kalergi omission is certainly one such gap in his discussion. Also the political mindsets of Peter Sutherland (UN level), and Frans Timmerman (EU Level) for example, are merely touched upon, but not discussed. Not even George Soros is dissected. The obvious conclusion to reach after reading his book is not "Oh, I wonder where the European race is heading, it's not looking too well?" it's "The European race is suffering ethnocide, not by accident (or economic or cultural benefit smoke screens) but by design, funded, and against its peoples wishes". The rest of the world laughs at us. Some may fear "are we next?" For me, Douglas takes no sides, and if he ever does his next book will be entitled: 'The Deliberate Genocide of Europeans - and Who is Behind it' (TDGE).

[@martynspooner5822]

Surely the mass exodus of people into Europe like in 2015 will not be allowed to happen again. Even the German people as guilt ridden and socially conditioned as they are will not allow this to continue. The general public are seeing the negative consequences both economically and socially. Thus the rise of the AFD and similar right wing parties throughout Europe. It is a difficult if not impossible problem but the answer cannot be to allow anyone who wants the opportunity to be able to settle in Europe. It is simply not sustainable.

You have the wrong problem solving methodology martyn. You are using logic and reason. Liberals and Marxists use feelings and emotions. Each comes to completely different outcomes. It's especially sad when one realizes that the "Anglo Saxon" majority in England came in the 5th century as just a 10% immigration of males from Saxony Germany. Europe will soon be NOTHING like it's ancestors, and EVERYTHING like its majority members; Africa and the ME.

[@bruceruttan60]

Nice thought mart, but do you really suspect that the people of Europe have any choice about their social role any longer? Socialism is the very foundation of despotism. It means that the people have become helpless slaves.

[@christastempel5577]

martyn spooner, I think you mean to mass influx, not the mass exodus of people into Europe. Exodus means, the going away, influx means to come into. I am German, born eleven years after ww2, and I do know something about the guilt that post war Germans felt. However, my Generation was also very clear about how the ordinary people suffered under the Nazi regime, and this included the Jewish people, who after all were Germans. Since ww2, the west Germans have developed a social system, based in Capitalism, which has prevailed to be efficient to this day. I think you have the right idea, but I think one needs to make it clear that the mass immigration of people from the middle east, northern African countries, and various eastern European countries, (and only few of them actually having the right to claim Asylum status) are a phenomenal drain on social security, which is not sustainable in the long run. I think we need to address the real problem of why these immigrants pose such a problem, and that is because they are largely uneducated, and have very little to offer. The majority of these people are Muslims, and perhaps because they are Muslims, they do not feel that they should give something in return for what they are given, but instead they just demand more and more, and are completely unreasonable in what they demand. I think we need to be very clear, that Islam is coming into our Christian countries via these immigrants, and we need to be very clear that Islam is fundamentally martial, violent and expansionistic. So we are inviting an expansionistic and violent religion into our peaceful countries, and we give the believers of this religion, everything they want, because we want to help. What we don't understand, is that Muslims think they have the right to receive anything they want, and that we the 'infidel' are just there to give them what they need. Muslims by their very nature, believe that they are superior to everybody else in this world, and the more we give, the less they appreciate what is given.

I saw the problem with immigration first hand YEARS ago. I had a co-worker who was from the Dominican Republic. Almost daily he would go on these America is bad/evil/dumb and Dominican Republic is better diatribes. When asked "then why come here?" he would reply "Money. Then I'm going back." How could he sit in the US and claim DR is better when we all know it's a Third World basket case? People who dislike their country, or love yours, will immigrate and integrate. They WANT to be like you and therefore will become like you. But if it's about money they will come, take the money, but maintain their loyalty to their homeland. When they do, they will harbor a simmering hatred of the host country. In effect they feel YOUR culture is inferior but will milk it for the money. Not only do they not assimilate, they RESENT your culture and have contempt for YOUR weakness for letting them milk you. The West doesn't understand this because we have become so obsessed with comfort/wealth/gadgets that we define those things as goals. "How can they not like us? We gave them cell phones and indoor plumbing!?!" This misses the fact that many people, especially from poor countries, DO NOT focus their cultural/personal identity on wealth or gadgets. They focus it on cultural/religious/tribal identities. So in effect we are importing people focused on a tribal identity and thinking giving them a cell phone will make them abandon it......WRONG!

[@omnipitous4648]

I appreciate cultural diversity. The amazing contributions different cultures bring to the table are incalculable. But I do have caveats. 1. There is a reason people, not just from war-torn countries are flocking to Europe. It is mainly because their own countries have failed them. Why do they flock to Europe? Universal freedom in the best form of culture and government we currently have. How can I prove this? Because Europeans are not flocking to these failed countries. 2. I want the essential elements of Europe to remain. I do not, under any circumstances want Islam to turn Europe into the cesspool they have created. Islam has not reached an enlightenment in any sense. They absolutely fail at science. Science has brought us in the western world to where we are now. 3. Sharia, as a vehicle to Jihad, is a sinister doctrine. It violates every concept of western rule of law. These laws have been fought for and won over hundreds of years at the cost of many lives. We cannot simply surrender this rule of law to the first theocracy which has so patently failed to implement it in even their own societies. 4. You must not conflate generous social ideologies towards a culture and relion in which these concepts are an anathema.

From the sixties mass immigration into the UK met both racism and in my view genuine criticism with also, support. The criticism was met by conflating this with the racists who were often opposed by the same people. This tendency has only intensified. People such as Murray and Jordan Peterson call out such and associated evils and misrepresentations. Same time identity politics the craziness of SOME parts of the Left has pushed them too far to the Right.

Based on the Bible, both have Jesus as God, and Jesus' teaching as their default return to base. If trouble between the two sects of the same religion persist even now - how much more difficult will it be for Islam (which it antithetical to the foundational beliefs/conclusions of the West), to settle - I'd say it is impossible. Also - the guy who says Turks have totally assimilated into Germany has obviously never been to Germany. And finally still much of the talk here (not from Douglas) is the same old try try try to find a way not to blame Islam. Which to me comes from two points of view, the various types of Islamophile/apologist, and those running away from the fact Islam will bring civil-war to Europe ( to the West ) sooner or later. Why will Islam bring war to Europe - because Islam is a restless amoral conquering power-system - at base.

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

Joe Rong, that final sentence especially rang very true. I’m testing a new question with anyone I meet who seems closed to opposing Islam for fear of demonising Muslims. So the question is an epistemic one, “How do you hold someone accountable without demonising them?”, after which evidence can be presented of Islam’s aggressive design playing out

[@Gozzillacia]

I think the answer is no one is "demonising." That is a piece of hyperbola designed to discredit those who question the ideology. It's like the often levelled accusation - " you can't say all muslims are terrorists?" The fact is no one does say "all Muslims are terrorists." Having said that - just like decent Germans were weaponised while under the thumb of Nazi ideology - so will the decent Muslims be weaponised by the ideology that has them under its thumb - that ideology being Islam.

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

Joe Rong, I entirely agree, though the purpose of my question is to provoke into thought those who seem reflexively closed to criticisms of Islam because they fear they’re demonising Muslims

[@bored77551]

From the Belgian perspective, we also saw many imigrants from before 2015 from turkey and marokko, they were indeed not perfectly integrated, the first generation often didn't learn the language, their children did however start integrating properly, going to school and learning the language, but you did hear them prefer their native tongue whenever speaking in public, this is all before 2015 I'm speaking of, this did indeed not sit well with many natives, and they where villified often, and many crimes that where reported on came from within their communities. People weren't so quick to call racism back then and it was a common thing to criticise harshly the acts of many among the turkish and marokkan people committing crimes. In the general public things haven't changed much at all, in the media yes, but still, when you see people dressed in bin bags walking the streets speaking a language you don't understand, it's something people still heavily oppose. The natives call these ppl strangers and for good reason.

[@tommore3263]

As a Catholic I find this presentation to be of great interest. Firstly perhaps because of the Catholic insistence upon reason. Indeed , reason at the ground of being is a precondition of the reliability of reason as a guide. And it speaks to the stunning fact of the intelligibility of reality. So theism, properly understood and certainly in the Catholic or Orthodox sense , is ..no pun intended.. perfectly reasonable and nothing makes sense or has a grounded identity outside of it. I like philosophers Ed Feser and Mortimer Adler on these issues. They only deal with reason, not religion or theology incidentally although both are Catholics; Adler towards the very end of his life, while Feser used to be an atheist, ( or radically incoherent as I like to argue.... :-) ) Cheers.

[@viriknavarro3165]

Nothing strange about it. It's a simple strategy used on simpletons and those unwilling to think about and accept some realities of life (largely because we've been brow-beaten to not think along those lines or about those things, realistically). A think tank got together and decided to promote "love" as the only way and their version of "love" is consumerism, mass immigration and miscegenation for purposes of globalism. Globalism being a way to import cheap labor and gain control of the world's resources elsewhere. In order to accomplish their goals, they had to break down every defense the west has save for military, ensure it's flooded with people not native to western nations and then brow beat the natives by criticizing every aspect of every means of defense (this includes but is not limited to the primary religion, their in-group preferences and their role in shaping the world). After they've ushered in enough people of a specific nation, the globalists believe they can use them to influence others from their nation of origin; their ethnic and racial group(s). Globalists as before, in the old days, don't care if people are enslaved, raped, robbed and/or murdered. All they care about is their bank accounts and their own personal wants, needs and desires. Allowing and endorsing this is the west's ultimate failure.

[@christastempel5577]

I just want to say something in addition to when Douglas Murray mentioned the invited guest workers from Turkey into Germany, and how Merkel admitted that the Germans thought they would return to their country once they were no longer needed...I think the problem is not that the Turkish people wished to remain in Germany, but that they never 'left' their home country. I think we all can understand that 'home' means not only where we live, but where we feel our roots to be. However, we need to question why Turks and those of Turkish descent, living in Germany, think they have the right to demonstrate their allegiance to a fascist Turkish Dictator, on German soil. How would Turkish people feel, if Germans were to demonstrate in any political way at all, on Turkish soil? Let's face it, it would not be tolerated. In Europe, we tolerate absolutely everything. It is ridiculous, and it is simply WRONG. When will we Europeans say enough is enough? Our politicians might be held responsible for the downfall of Europe, but they are going to hide in their privileged neighbourhoods, in their police protected houses, and in their arrogant ignorance of thinking that they have 'tried to do the right thing'.

[@Hello_there_obi]

The one thing I think Douglas missed that is key was the whole culture vs religion question. One of the students asked if it was the culture and not the religion to blame. The huge oversight made was that in most of those countries, Islam *defines* the culture and had been doing so for centuries. It is a total solution in the sense that it tells you how to live your life in giving you economical and political instructions as well. When I talk about this to people, I never let them get away with making that excuse and if they were simply unaware, I do my best to get the point across.

[@almostafa4725]

You are dead wrong, Islam doesn’t inform the culture in those countries, if it did why are those countries not Islamic states/caliphates instead of nation states or monarchies?

An army (this Muslim invasion) doesn't need to bear arms if its intent is to overthrow by sheer weight of force at the ballot box. Witness London's Muslim Mayor if you are unsure such tactics can be effective. Once in place, such is unstoppable, as well as being impossible of being overthrown, when they have gained the upper-hand, politically.
