Part 7 — Part 8 — Part 9 — Part 10 — Part 11
It is now fashionable to celebrate non-Western cultures and disparage Western ones. In doing so, we undermine the very things that created the greatest, most humane civilisation in the world (notwithstanding the momentary Trump aberration).
In his book "The War on the West", Murray tackles some of the worst consequences of "woke" culture in the world today. He 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?"
The book commences with a brief history of the origins of political correctness and wokeism and progresses through the ways in which woke has infiltrated academia, art, literature, religion and society in general, his comments well-argued, thought provoking and insightful.
I may not agree with everything Douglas Murray writes (and says in his audiobook) but, as Elizabeth Beatrice Hall writes in her book "The Friends of Voltaire", "... I will defend to the death [his] right to say it".
A perfect book to read - or to listen to - on "Invasion Day". And to all of those who hate Australia Day (but not the benefits that flow from it)"
