Douglas Murray and His Continuing Fight against the “Madness of Crowds”

 

A little over 18 months ago, we interviewed author and columnist Douglas Murray about his then new book The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity. That show was one of our most-watched interviews of 2019, so we thought it was time to sit down with Douglas again and get an update on where things stand with regard to, as Douglas describes in his book, “the interpretation of the world through the lens of ‘social justice,’ ‘identity group politics’ and ‘intersectionalism’ . . . the most audacious and comprehensive effort since the end of the Cold War at creating a new ideology.” We also discuss European politics, examine Boris Johnson’s tenure as UK prime minister, and take a sobering look at American politics from the perspective of a very sharp observer.

    I’m the same Charlotte, I love listening to him. I think I have a bit of a crush actually.

    See, Robinson? It pays to hang with the cool kids…

    I finally got a chance to listen. Wonderful interview. I’ve paid enough attention to Murray that beforehand I was unsure there were many fresh insights to unearth. Methinks you’re at your best with fellow culture bugs, Mr. Robinson.

    Speaking of: Anthony Daniel’s was mentioned. If there’s a writer alive possessing more uncommon knowledge, I’d be glad to know zim (get it?). Mightn’t UK’s expedition onto Zoom widen the net of potential guests?

    If we’re giving suggestions I’d offer Irish journalist Mary Kenny. She’s written several books and is always interesting.
