247. The War On The West | Douglas Murray
War on the West
- The West is under attack from within, targeting its history, people, and culture.
- This "anti-Westernism" venerates everything non-Western while denouncing Western creations.
Revenge, Not Justice
- Critics of the West, like Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, often seek revenge, not fairness.
- They employ the same essentializing tactics they condemn, homogenizing Western people and traditions.
Slavery's History
- Historically, opposing slavery was rare.
- The Enlightenment era saw debate on the origins of human races and the morality of enslaving different groups.
