Peter Robinson quotes the text from Douglas Murray’s books – “Promised throughout their Lifetimes that the Changes were Temporary, the Changes were Not Real, or that the Changes did Not Signify Anything. Europeans discovered that in the Lifespan of People Now Alive, they would become Minorities in their own countries, close quote. So the question is, you’ve said this is Almost Impossible to Reverse. You’ve said that even this, the Political Movement, the Populist Movement of the recent years, it’s very Complicated, unlikely to get it Quite Right. So if it’s over Douglas, if it’s over. If in your lifetime, it’s over, How does Douglas Murray live a Good Life? What is the Definition? What components of Fighting Back or Resignation?” Douglas Murray – “My own view is that it should partly be done by living the life that we thought to be a Good Life until Yesterday! So why don’t we have the Recognition of what a good life was, that was very recognizable until yesterday. Now, Roger Scruton, the great Conservative Philosopher, and I were talking about this recently, this can’t be done by Government Diktat. This just comes from People, it comes from Individuals and people Leading by Example. I’ve said everything I can to try to Warn my fellow countrymen and Europeans and Americans and others of what I think is happening. But I don’t intend, I’ve done my best shot at it. And my own view is that after that, you have to live the life that you ought to live in, the Civilization you Enjoy. And you see some men, it’s more than enjoyment, obviously, isn’t it? One of the problems, one of the things I wish one could communicate better to people is that all the things that they think are Excluding people Are Not. They’re offering people the Best Chance they’ll ever have in their lives to get to Civilization or civilization to get to Them. And when people rail against things like this city we’re sitting in, think that it epitomizes Capitalism and Patriarchy, I just think, I wish more people could take the attitude that I’ve taken throughout my life to these things, which is you don’t have to be tub thumping. You don’t have to be a wild flag waving Patriot or anything like that. But your Attitude should be Gratitude. I mean, it’s not as if this is Nothing. And that seems to me in this culture of Hatred, of this just Endless, Zero Sum Hatred and Bitterness and Blame. Is just to turn that around and say, how about feeling Grateful?”
