China has concentration camps now. Why do Westerners claim our sins are unique?
It is now in vogue to celebrate non-Western cultures and disparage Western ones. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning, but much of it fatally undermines the very things that created the greatest, most humane civilization in the world.
In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric. After all, if we must discard the ideas of Kant, Hume, and Mill for their opinions on race, shouldn’t we discard Marx, whose work is peppered with racial slurs and anti-Semitism? Embers of racism remain to be stamped out in America, but what about the raging racist inferno in the Middle East and Asia?
It’s not just dishonest scholars who benefit from this intellectual fraud but hostile nations and human rights abusers hoping to distract from their own ongoing villainy. Dictators who slaughter their own people are happy to jump on the “America is a racist country” bandwagon and mimic the language of antiracism and “pro-justice” movements as PR while making authoritarian conquests.
If the West is to survive, it must be defended. The War on the West is not only an incisive takedown of foolish anti-Western arguments but also a rigorous new apologetic for civilization itself.

InnsiktsfullMotiverendeTankevekkendeThis book should be mandatory reading for anyone living in the West! Thank goodness we still have a few Intellectuals like Murray, with the heart and mind able to protect our fantastic corners of the World we call the West! In navigation we say West=Best, East=Least! This book demonstrates why this is so, also in politics and in the search of virtue!

TankevekkendeBrilliantly written, thought- provoking summary of our Western culture as it stands today. Douglas Murray is one of the best authors there are today; his sharp observations as well as his eloquence is surpassed by none. I would recommend this book to anyone who are looking for insight in a present situation in the Europe.

Trist eksempel på kollektiv narsissisme, i klinisk forstand. Middelmådigheter får lov til å føle seg enestående av å lese denne boken. Han gir stusselige mennesker en følelse av overlegenhet og stolthet – forutsatt at hudfargen deres er hvit. Dette er dypt ødeleggende for den berettigede klassekampen, som bør finne sted istedenfor at hvite mennesker, som lever fattigslige og triste liv, gir folk med farge, svarte mennesker, muslimer og klimaaktivister og -politikere skylden for alt som er galt i samfunnet og i livet deres. Skylden burde rettes oppover ikke nedover, til siden eller utover.
