q did I not just give you your answer? If you acknowledge your ancestors come from elsewhere and know when it happened, you’re not native. If the arrival of your ancestors in your land is lost to time or has become myth, then you’re native. JUST LIKE MĀORI, Japanese, Navajo, etc! Want to ask me the same question again? If you’ve got mixed heritage, as most people have, embrace it. Being native isn’t diluted. It’s not racial purity.

I'm a Brit living in Cambodia. 8 months ago in Phnom Penh, I had a conversation with an American girl who bragged she is a Marxist. She asked me if I had a problem with it. I said yes. She replied why? I replied " errrr.... Pol Pot!" She had panic attack, then claimed Lenin and Satlin were actually far right, and the right had changed history to blame the left. True story. These people are unsalvageable.

It's not strange at all. His sexual orientation doesn't change that he comes across as masculine which we boring straight ladies are naturally attracted to, and his dry, brutal humour is very charming. Nothing wrong with enjoying the complimentary eye-candy that comes with an insightful and entertaining discussion. I mean, Chris I wouldn't 'bump off the edge of the bed' either, as we say in German ;), and as you said, they have a great bromance going on.

@@dharmaqueen7877 Not true, the majority know the left is actually the minority but it has ALL the institutional power. It's like a communist government. The government itself is not the majority but it holds the institutional power. The power to unperson you. True, cancelling a person doesn't have the same power it that it has in a communist regime, but it does intimidate some people. To see the power of the left check out the fact that the British government is making government personnel take diversity (i.e communism) training. A supposedly right wing government is using tax money raised to propagandise its staff with communist propaganda. Right in their faces! That's a lot of power.

So basically what I made as if you are of a certain color or if you're not gay then you can't say anything otherwise you will get your head ripped off. And I can even get away with saying that because my father who was gay was also black so...... but I get your point yes it's true here in New York City you can't say anything it really is insane out here

I’m a veteran. I was deployed to Qatar in 2005 and while there traveled all over the region performing my duties. I went to Eritrea with a squad of Army guys. It has one of the worst human rights records on the planet. We were driving when we see a government militia truck well up ahead. The US was training the soldiers to fight the Jihadis, so we weren’t overly concerned. But as we approached, the truck sped off. When we got to where it was parked, we saw why. Two men laid on the road, shot in the head. A middle aged woman, naked from the waist down, was face down and shot in the back of the head. It was then I heard moaning from the side of the road. I stepped down the small bank and a young girl was laying there, maybe 7 to 9 years old. I picked her up, instinctively, and she started jerking her body as if to get away from me. It was then I realized her legs were covered with blood mixed with dust, and for reasons I still can’t explain all these years later, I lifted her ratty dress to see where she was shot. Except she hadn’t been shot, she had been raped so viciously that her body was literally ripped apart. She suddenly went stiff like a board, and she looked me in the eye. The only thing I remember after that look in her eye was the sergeant screaming in my ear to get back in the humvee. These brats whining have no fucking clue what evil looks like. I know, because I didn’t either until that day. In my nightmares I see that little girl’s eyes, and it isn’t the pain, fear, or sadness that scares the shit out of me. It’s the relief. The relief she had that it was finally over, that death was welcome to what she had known all her short life.

As a member of staff at my local Sixth Form College, I was subjected to 'anti-racism' and 'anti-radicalisation' training around four years ago. The person delivering the talk seemed unaware that she was addressing a hall filled with graduates and post-graduates: all of whom had qualified to teach young people. Her talk was dull, and her knowledge-base poor. I complained about the waste of time and money, and poor academic rigour; but got nowhere. The problem is that the people commissioning these 'Training Companies' (among them, the infamous, 'Common Purpose') are poorly-educated bureaucrats, themselves: who seem oblivious to the controversial nature of what they are doing. The National Trust for Scotland has a Director of 'Customer & Cause', called MARK BISHOP, who writes in the Trust's magazine, "Organisations like the Trust have an important part to play in eliminating racism". I had no idea the NTS was so full of 'racists' (and probably homophobes and antisemites, too!). Needless to say, BISHOP is an Englishman who is employed, full-time, within the Charity Industry, where you only get appointed if you come out with crap like this. I thought the NTS was to care for land and buildings in Scotland: not fight racism. Small wonder Dr Neil Oliver is standing down as its President. Good for him!

Mark Dyer I was a teacher and have to agree with you these mass lectures are a waste of money. I often didn’t turn up for them, or turn up sign in then go away. Racism nowadays means ignore the needs of white students over black students. Stuff that! All students need different things and it isn’t racist to help a white person. I am so sick of the word racist being banded about, it means nothing. Mainly it’s culture that is the problem.

@@kathleensmith644 Kathleen, thank you for this. I'm now 68 and retired. I know it sounds 'snooty'; but Teachers are - often - (not always!) 'educated' people; particularly when we were educated in the fewer universities available back in the 1970s. And education does not cease with initial graduation, but continues throughout adult life. This infantilisation of the entire Teaching profession, I also saw within Nursing (I was also a Registered Nurse); where we were subjected to the same bullshit. A student of theology, I remember being told, "You must respect all religions", by a somewhat dim lecturer; who did not appear to appreciate the difference between a 'religion', and the 'person-practising-that-religion'. I may respect the latter: but not always the former.

@@J4CK4L7 the threat if what? too many non whites? Not what conservatives CLAIM they cared about. The values of the people coming in, the beliefs, the self sufficiency and being able to bring something to the table like higher skills, no. Gotta worry about the WHITENESS so we don't dilute our aryan dominance. This is the core sameness bias that infects every shitkicking right winger across the fucking globe. And Murray is further enough along on that spectrum for me to want nothing to do with him. I got that when he was on Sam Harris podcasts and let the european numbers obsession slip. Race matters to Murray. He explicitly says so in polite and genteel tones. He's not a fire breather and does not demand we mass deport ALL the people in western countries, so it goes under the radar. But at the end of the day, he is an open enemy to a liberal society that is not based in part on the logic of a semi ethno state that demands a critical number of white people be the dominant ethnic group lest our way of life falter! As someone that is not white, I find that shit abhorrent. No doubt the white conservatives, and living minstrel shows like Jesse Lee Peterson's of the world have no problem with that. And for the record, I'm not fond of the idea of a mass influx of say, a bunch of salafist muslims into my country the US. But it's not because of the race, it's the conservative and theocratic attitudes that are associated with that. I'd take some of the more liberal muslims I know here over a bunch of paint sniffing conservatives any day. Even though they are not white! Because I don't hold onto ethno state logic as part of my world view. Murray does. IF you and people like Modern wisdom paid the fuck attention, you'd get that.

I'm a great admirer of Douglas Murray's writing and debating skills. I've noticed that recently he has changed his image and looks younger, fitter and more relaxed. He used to dress and style himself as what was once called a Young Fogey. Perhaps he has no need to look older as his words give him the gravitas he perhaps thought he lacked when young. Or perhaps he has got a young toy boy. Either way, good luck to him - a genuine independent thinker in a world of groupthink.

Hey man, glad I discovered your podcast. I watched your interview with John Devitt on dealing with depression and never realized that you were involved in entertainment and the club scene. Pretty amazing to watch someone transition from being involved with something as shallow as 'Love Island' to interviewing the leading public intellectuals of our time. You've managed to capture an entirely different audience and I think its refreshing to have a less 'dryly academic' (or at least someone from an industry that could be considered a different planet altogether) type of person around doing these interviews. Like a younger, more informed and less fatuous version of Joe Rogan. Keep up the great work.
