00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,600
Welcome to Keith's night. 
Don't try it on anyone and they 

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,500
libertarian Institute here is my
book review of the war on the 

3
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:14,200
west by Douglas Murray Murray 
says, we appear to be in the 

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,500
process of killing the goose 
that has laid some very golden 

5
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:21,000
eggs. 
Second quote by dr. 

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,900
Bryan Caplan in the prevalence 
of Marxism in Academia, as 

7
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:29,800
recently as 2006, about 18% of 
social, scientists self, 

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,300
Identified as marxists review 
begins, I was always ashamed to 

9
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:39,500
be a Westerner, a civilization. 
I was told all throughout my 

10
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:42,200
public school years. 
Uniquely contributed to the 

11
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:46,300
world in the following ways. 
Slavery, child labor, bad 

12
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:49,500
working, conditions, greed, 
sexism, genocide, racism, 

13
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:53,300
McCarthyism and a bunch of 
useful idiots for the 1% 

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,100
recently. 
Douglas Murray authored a book 

15
00:00:56,100 --> 00:00:58,700
titled. 
The war on the West in which he 

16
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:01,400
obliterates the Conspiracy 
theory. 

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,800
Shall we say that the West is a 
uniquely evil collection of 

18
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,700
civilizations? 
Unworthy of preserving or 

19
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:10,200
appreciating having no redeeming
qualities. 

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,300
It's clear how seldom people 
develop their default ideas or 

21
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:19,400
World Views based on Empirical 
research or abstract thinking 

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,400
this is where the power of 
historical narratives comes into

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,100
play. 
They left a set, vacating, 

24
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:29,900
social justice strip away, 
competing allegiances of 

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,400
Families churches and Nations by
poisoning. 

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,600
The Well of prevailing 
interpretations of past events, 

27
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:41,400
historical narratives, which 
give people a sense of identity 

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,200
and belonging the enemies of the
west, then would have fertile 

29
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,800
ground to establish an Empire of
their own. 

30
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:51,100
As Murray says, the West was the
problem. 

31
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:54,400
The dissolving of the West Was 
the solution. 

32
00:01:55,300 --> 00:02:00,100
Second one of his book is titled
race Murray explains racism as 

33
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:03,400
having to do with quote, 
dismissing people, vilifying 

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,400
them or generalizing about them 
simply because of the color of 

35
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:11,200
their skin consider a 
hypothetical. 

36
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:15,300
Imagine someone says Asians 
benefited from Genghis Khan. 

37
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:18,800
Conquering the land Asian 
violence is evident in the mass 

38
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,800
murder campaigns of Emperor, 
Hirohito Mouse a tongue, Chiang 

39
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,700
Kai-shek and Pol Pot Asian Today
need to acknowledge their higher

40
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:31,100
income privilege and apologize 
for the crimes of their 

41
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:34,300
ancestors. 
Any sane person would look at 

42
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:36,100
this for what it is. 
A disgusting. 

43
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:40,000
Cruel, racist, unnecessarily, 
provocative generalization, 

44
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,100
which Miss allocates guilt. 
Based on an accident of birth. 

45
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:48,400
All Murray is saying in this 
section is that racism is 

46
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,900
abhorrent and no double 
standards should exist for any 

47
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:54,500
group, including people of 
European ancestry. 

48
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
When I first heard this line of 
reasoning, I was hesitant to 

49
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,500
accept the idea that a majority 
could possibly be victimized by 

50
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:06,000
a small minority. 
Then I realized there are 535 

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
members of Congress and 330 
million Americans and then I 

52
00:03:10,008 --> 00:03:13,300
could see how for the record 
Murray makes clear, he's not 

53
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:17,500
vilifying minorities at all. 
His primary examples of such 

54
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:21,500
racism come from whites Robyn. 
D'Angelo zweite fragility, 

55
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:24,800
American legislators National 
Geographic Jimmy Fallon's. 

56
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,400
Studio audience applauding, low 
white birth rates, and Michael 

57
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,700
Moore's. 
Stupid white men Marie. 

58
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:34,200
Also introduces readers to the 
tragedy of Texas, Man. 

59
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,800
Tony, tempeh, I have witnessed 
this story alone, changed the 

60
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,700
heart and mind of social justice
Advocates correctly. 

61
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:46,500
Switching, the focus from white 
supremacy to government 

62
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:48,800
Supremacy. 
I can't recommend this section. 

63
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:55,100
Highly enough section 2 was 
titled history, 1952 Samuel, Oh 

64
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:59,200
Kramer one of the world's 
leading a Serie ologists an 

65
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,300
expert in Sumerian history and 
Sumerian language, translated 

66
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:05,800
tablets which were found in 
Iraq. 

67
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,700
Dated between 2100 BC and 2050 
BC. 

68
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,500
The tablets are known as the 
code of ur-nammu. 

69
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,300
One of the oldest legal texts 
known to mankind in the list of 

70
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:22,300
32 laws. 
The word slave is found nine 

71
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:25,600
times. 
It turns out slavery, Is maybe 

72
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,900
the least unique thing about 
Western Civilization contrary to

73
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:33,900
vice presidential candidate. 
Tim canes claim that America 

74
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:37,700
created slavery. 
Murray points out quote, the 

75
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:40,100
best available figures proposed 
by Scholars. 

76
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:44,500
Such as Professor Ralph, Austin 
of University of Chicago is that

77
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:48,300
somewhere between 11 and 17. 
Million Africans were traded 

78
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:54,300
East in the Arab run slave trade
Marie, does an outstanding job 

79
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:58,300
Explicitly condemning the evils 
of slavery while making it 

80
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:02,500
crystal clear that the New York 
Times is 1619 project is a scam 

81
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:05,900
on stilts. 
The authors of 1619 a crate. 

82
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,800
Equate slavery with voluntary 
Labour saying in order to 

83
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,600
understand the brutality of 
American capitalism you have to 

84
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,900
start at the plantation classic 
contradiction. 

85
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:22,200
It's akin to saying free market 
voluntary exchanges are rooted 

86
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,500
in violence going to a person's 
house Voluntarily is rooted in 

87
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:30,700
kidnapping, lovemaking, is 
rooted in rape, and the New York

88
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:33,100
Times selling a book is rooted 
in Theft. 

89
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:36,500
There are great lessons to be 
learned from America's founding 

90
00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:39,700
the existence of self evident 
truths, human beings, being 

91
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:42,400
created equal having unalienable
rights. 

92
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,100
No person or group, their of can
justly deprive them of freedom, 

93
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:48,300
to speak to develop one's 
personality. 

94
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:52,400
Influencing the lives of others,
opposition to the state, having 

95
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,900
a monopoly on weapons, not to 
mention In English, common law. 

96
00:05:55,900 --> 00:06:00,400
Traditions, dating back to 1215 
with the Magna Carta, giving us 

97
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,100
demands for proof and a trial by
jury of one's peers, leading to 

98
00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:06,100
the recognition of jury 
nullification. 

99
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,700
Protection is gratitude, the 
problem Western Civilization 

100
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:15,700
faces is resentment and the 
solution is gratitude. 

101
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:19,700
A quote, from this section reads
as follows a great building, 

102
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:24,200
such as a church or a cathedral 
can take decades even centuries 

103
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,900
to build but it can be burned to
the ground or otherwise brought 

104
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:31,500
down in an afternoon. 
Therein lies, the source of 

105
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:33,100
Rage. 
I feel when seeing the 

106
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:36,200
indiscriminate destruction of 
property by mobs and States 

107
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,900
alike. 
Like it illustrates the 

108
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:42,400
difficulty and complexity in 
developing the things we hold 

109
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,000
dear in life while recognizing 
how easily they can be lost. 

110
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:49,800
The section on gratitude is 
probably my favorite portion of 

111
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:50,900
this book. 
All together. 

112
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:54,300
I did have one point of 
contention with mr. 

113
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:57,800
Murray from section 2 on 
Churchill Winston. 

114
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,400
Churchill is a hero of many 
people of Goodwill. 

115
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,000
However, I respectfully disagree
with mr. 

116
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,300
Murray on this issue, as first, 
Lord of the admiralty. 

117
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,500
On August 12 1914, Churchill 
initiated a blockade around 

118
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,800
Germany, starving hundreds of 
thousands of civilians to death.

119
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,900
If this isn't wrong. 
Nothing. 

120
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:19,700
Is he calls the narvik debacle 
of 1940, which led to 

121
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:24,200
Chamberlain stepping down and 
Churchill being appointed later,

122
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,100
losing his 1945 election. 
He initiated bombing of 

123
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:31,200
civilians with physicists, 
Frederick Lynn demons D, 

124
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,700
housing, plan, as his 
inspiration, enforced, the 

125
00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:39,800
national Service Act of 39, 
which enslaved men ages 18 to 41

126
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,900
to fight in a war, the most 
horrific working conditions 

127
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:46,000
imaginable. 
He, disapproved of Chamberlain 

128
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,500
giving the sudetenland to 
Hitler, then surrendered the 

129
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:53,500
sudetenland and half of Europe 
to Joseph Stalin at Yalta, in 

130
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,100
1945. 
Churchill later wrote in his 

131
00:07:57,300 --> 00:08:02,200
War, Memoirs the Gathering 
storm, written March. 1948, on 

132
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,200
page 14. 
The human tragedy reaches its 

133
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,200
climax in the Act that, after 
all, the exertions and 

134
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,300
sacrifices of the hundreds of 
millions of people and the 

135
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:15,300
victories of the righteous, 
cause we have still not found 

136
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:19,100
peace or security and that we 
lie in the grip of even worse, 

137
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:22,400
perils than those. 
We have surmounted, let's 

138
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,700
continue to be the civilization.
We admire so much and lead by 

139
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:29,800
example, embracing the values of
humility compassion and 

140
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,799
Universal, ethics conclusion. 
This book is a phenomenal 

141
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:38,500
criticism of social justice 
advocacy, which is the most 

142
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:41,900
powerful ideology advocating. 
The ideas of statism today 

143
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:45,700
making them the biggest threat 
to Freedom equality of Rights 

144
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,900
and civilization. 
This book will give you the 

145
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:51,500
tools to see through the 
propaganda of the press 

146
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:55,600
politicians Hollywood K through 
12 teachers University 

147
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,000
professors and corporate 
advertisers. 

148
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,200
A highly recommended links to 
the book will be in the 

149
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,400
description below. 
Thank you for watching Keith 

150
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,800
Knight don't tread on anyone and
the libertarian Institute.
