MADNESS OF CROWDS | Murray, Douglas
Murray notes the logical inconsistencies, hypocrisies, and cringe-inducing madness of “woke” or progressive identity politics. His four major sections—Gay, Women, Race, and Trans—provide a clear road map.
The book could be easier to read at times. Its coherent outline of the illiberal mind’s confusion and intolerance goes beyond the headlines to the destruction of individual lives, professions, and careers.
The author, a gay, atheist British professor, writes with compassion, empathy, and without judgment for those who have surrendered to these currents. While his connected anecdotes provide a full diagnosis, the book concludes without a substantive solution other than civility and tolerance.
This is an invaluable, albeit uncomfortable, guide for those seeking to understand the currents of today’s culture wars. Check it out, Madness of Crowds.
