010. Mark Steyn with Douglas Murray Part 10

“I mean people who fled Afghanistan and so on, have stories some of which are unimaginable.‭ ‬I mean, one of my overwhelming feelings is we’ve got to do that and recognize the scale and still find answers. You know one of my views these days is just that in general, because of our politics, and particularly the way that sort of Millennials are persuaded to look at the world, everything is as if it’s about you know I’m Great you’re Hitler, I’m Good you’re Evil.” Douglas Murray goes on, “When it comes to something like this, it’s about competing Virtues, just as sometimes things are about choosing between Evil and we’ve got caught in this competition between what I describe as Justice and Mercy, which we have the tools in our own tradition, our own traditions of Rationalism and Philosophy to deal with this. Aristotle looked at this. What happens when two things that seem to be virtues are in competition? Well you must be a misunderstanding and mis-applying one of them and you’ve got to work out where that is. And one of the things I said, this is in the search to be merciful we’ve among other things given up the idea that there should be any Justice for the Peoples of Europe! Because we we don’t have another home.‭ ‬Now we are in the process of wrecking the only home we have by saying that absolutely anybody from anywhere in the world who wants to come into our home and make themselves at home is Welcome.” Well Said Sir.
