The War Against the West. Middle Nation ...

About this episode

In this episode I am commenting on a recent conversation between #DouglasMurray and #JordanPeterson about Murray's latest book, "the War Against the West".  It is a conversation that reveals the two men's profound and blinding biases, and by extension, the biases of "the West" itself, from which it seems nearly impossible for the West to extricate itself.  What Murray is describing is not a war against the West, but a war against the West's lies about itself.
