Douglas Murray is one of the greatest thinkers and writers of our time, without a doubt.  We’d read Douglas Murray’s Madness of Crowds in our AFA Book Discussion Group on February 19th, not long ago but in another era; then when this literal madness of crowds kicked off a few weeks ago, it seemed that he would be the perfect person to shed light on what’s going on and how to combat it.  The book is brilliant, as is he.  From the Amazon description:

We are living through a postmodern era in which the grand narratives of religion and political ideology have collapsed. In their place have emerged a crusading desire to right perceived wrongs and a weaponization of identity, both accelerated by the new forms of social and news media. Narrow sets of interests now dominate the agenda as society becomes more and more tribal–and, as Murray shows, the casualties are mounting.
 

The casualties are indeed mounting.  And the entire book is an incisive and insightful examination of the various chasms, false narratives, and wide range of mechanisms of destroying culture that we’re in the throes of even as we speak.  

I’d also noted in February that  I “read” the book on Audible (offered for free at the moment!)  – Murray himself is the reader and this is one of the rare times when I think the experience of listening to it truly enhances the work.  When he reads passages of tremendous irony, with just the right inflection, it’s exquisite, like listening to music rather than reading it.  And I’ve enjoyed listening to it again, and now a third time.  I can’t recommend it highly enough.

You can watch him here, and here with the late Sir Roger Scruton.

With your support, we are able to host the exceptional and world-class events that are our hallmark, and that are fundamental to the preservation of Western Civilization.  As always, it sounds hyperbolic and a bit hysterical… but as events show us day after day, it’s not. 

When the media, academia and the vast majority of cultural influences do their utmost to create a “reality” that is devoid of, and in fact, in total opposition to the truth, it falls to organizations such as ours to disseminate and support, in every way possible, the actual truth.  Only by shining the light of truth do we stand a chance against the juggernaut of misinformation, and only with your support can we do so.
