    Being an Israeli Douglas Murray is a light shining in the darkness of ignorance and hate against my country. I’ll be forever grateful 🙏❤

  • @mariaelenaaguilar8340
    Feels like Douglas Murray is the only champion of the West these days. God Bless Douglas Murray.

    I'm thrilled to see one of the contemporary world's greatest public intellectuals speaking in Canada!!! No country needs to hear his frank, unapologetic defense of Western Civilization more than Canada, as this country has been so immersed in "progressive" dogma and indoctrination since roughly 2015. Vancouverites are very fortunate to have been exposed to Douglas's insight, honesty, and wisdom. Hopefully, audiences in Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal will also have an opportunity to learn from exposure to his ideas, as the residents of these woke-infested metropolises desperately need to hear his clear-thinking message.

    More people need to listen to Douglas Murray. You don’t need to agree with everything he says, but you can learn a lot from him.

    Douglas is an utter delight to listen to. He has a magic of putting my thoughts into most lucid and exquisite word. Thank you Douglas for being you ❤

    Douglas, I am not surprised at the lack of empathy from people and governments outside of Israel for the barbaric and murderous acts perpetrated on Israel. My God have mercy on them for Gods revenge is complete. I am an ex Rhodesian. Believe me I am aware firsthand of terror and terrorism. I know Israel in my heart because I have been there (metaphorically). Douglas keep up your work. You are THE voice the world needs to hear. You give me hope that someone is listening and standing up for good and right and true!!!

    "After Justin Trudeau has managed to stop hate, what will he do next? Would he like to do gluttony?" too funny

    For me, a person of mixed Hispanic and aborigin heritage, the values of the west ocuppy a predominant place in my personal mindset. It's not "colonialism" or "white imperialist imposition" as many people on the side of left ideology tend to think. I STAND with the values of the west because those values made possible the technological advances we enjoy today, the democracy, the freedom of speech (which is now in peril, specially in Canada), indivual liberty, all of them are values derived from the classical liberalism, the English and American enlightening, etc we have to defend those values from the madness of wokism, sordid hardcore socialism and self destructive hate of western civilization. Those values do matter and represent the best of humankind, not because they are of a "western origin" but because those values defend and uphold the freedom of the individual. That is precisely why they were so successful. Western Individualism gave us the gift of society, because without the concept of the individual, we will never have a free society,. The alternative is colectivism, a green, woke dictatorship and tyranny of the mobs.

    Once again Douglas delights audiences with his clear and insightful way of expressing the truth. I could listen to him for hours on end. So many of us are desperate to have many copies of Douglas to save our western culture and reject that of barbarians seeking to destroy it.
  • @mrw_6462
    1:00:17 is the west ashamed because Israel has shown them time & again, what it means to stand your ground
  • @lloydjones3371

    I'd like to see a discussion called "In defense of civilization." Because this is what we all are losing. It's not only Western, it's civilization as such.
