Kudos and thank you to Douglas for standing up! Douglas Murray explains that with self-harm the west has been deprecated, insulted and malignly de-constructed by some within.

The author carefully provides (and cites) facts and real world examples of how bad things have gotten. The culture that you save may be your own. I find myself learning things I hadn’t known or heard of before. As Douglas Murray, denounces in this book such woke brigade gleefully rants on and persecutes, cancels, censors, threatens and intimidates everyone in the west about every minor perceived injustice, while remaining cowardly silent and complacent about much graver injustices and discriminations if they occur elsewhere, presently or in the past.

He is the most brilliant and cultivated writer in exposing the most radical western anti westerners flaws, biases worse than the ones they portray to combat, and lack of gratitude in general about the tolerant and egalitarian society they live in (see photo of conclusion portion). In an age when polarisation is used by media, politicians and businesses to slice and dice, segment and control people and their behaviours, this is a good read, especially for those who agree with an idea or a policy because of who is pushing it rather than for the idea itself.

A stark and bleak warning to a civilisation in terminal, self inflicted decline. Douglas Murray does not cave in or fears the woke brigade. I also enjoy Murray’s clever writing style and clear ridicule of woke-cult dogma, CRT nonsense, anti-enlightenment thinking, and popular stupidity. It is definitely worth reading.

Exactly as its title suggests, this book is an exceptionally well-written condemnation of anti-western activism in all its guises. In general these are those whose power and tremendous access to mainstream media is inversely proportional to their culture, knowledge of societies in general throughout history, factual accuracy, character and courage. It is refreshing to read Murray's wittiness in an environment where most other people cave in scared of this woke mob which wants the west to commit suicide, kill its heroes and erase every trace of its culture from Knossos, Athens, Rome and Jerusalem to England’s Magna Carta, Italian renaissance, Spain/Portugal navigations, French illuminism, German industry or great American achievements either in the north like the constitution or putting humans in the moon, or in the south such as the fantastic and wonderful blend of European, African and indigenous culture thriving there in so many countries.
