“A communal outrage inspires what the psychologist Roy Maumeister calls a victim narrative: a moralized allegory in which a harmful act is sanctified, the damage consecrated as irreparable and unforgivable. The goal of the narrative is not accuracy but solidarity. Picking nits about what actually happened is seen as not just irrelevant but sacrilegious or treasonous.”
― Steven Pinker, Rationality

“Hour by hour I laid in bed thinking about what would motivate those who say they are defending people of color to brutally beat a person of color.”
― Andy Ngo, Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy

“Jamie Raskin, the brilliant and perpetually disheveled Maryland Democrat, asked me about internet conspiracies that alleged I was beaten by the mob because I was mistaken for an Antifa agitator. I stifled a smile. "Well, I was in full uniform. I was wearing my uniform shirt adorned with the Metropolitan Police Department's patch. I had my badge on until somebody ripped it off my chest." I could have added that I also wore a jacket with the words," METROPOLITAN POLICE" stenciled across the back and a helmet emblazoned with the letters "MPDC." Keeping a straight face, I told Raskin, "I do not believe I was mistaken for a member of Antifa.”

“Fascists like Putin, Trump, and their MAGA Nazis hate democracy, because they feel they're entitled to rule, but democracy keeps getting in the way.”
― Oliver Markus Malloy, Inside The Mind of an Introvert

“To delegitimize the West, it appears to be necessary first to demonize the people who still make up the racial majority in the West. It is necessary to demonize white people.”
― Douglas Murray, The War on the West

“...justice cannot live in a society which tolerates economic inequality and exploitation.”
― Isiah Berlin

“he ordering of cultural customs, forms of governance and economic institutions as being better or worse does not fit into the modern ethos of equality. We- rightly- want equal opportunities and rights. A positive vision of the colonial past apparently doesn鈥檛 fit into that. I mean, my whole university is busy decolonizing! That is the train I slammed into.”
― Bruce Gilley

“Marx is the last or (depending on how you count it) the originating prophet. He was not just a thinker or a sage -he was the formulator of a world-revolutionary movement. A movement that claimed to know how to reorder absolutely everything in human affairs in order to arrive at a utopian society. A utopian society that has never been achieved but that activists across the West still dream of instituting next time: always next time.”
― Douglas Murray, The War on the West

“Antifa essentially serves as the shock troops, to use a term coined by V. I. Lenin to describe CHEKA, the private militia of the Bolsheviks, for the Democratic Party.”
― Charles Moscowitz, Toward Fascist America: 2021: The Year that Launched American Fascism

“A proper scholarly method is intrinsically antifascist, in that it treats sceptically what fascists regard as beyond criticism.”
― Kevin Passmore, Fascism: A Very Short Introduction

“We fought the Nazis, too, we 'good' Germans; verges' uns nei. Forget us never...The first human beings to fight to the death, to kill and be killed by the Nazis were -
Germans.”

“...si llegamos a la conclusi贸n de que el di谩logo respetuoso no conduce a ninguna parte, la 煤nica herramienta que nos queda es la violencia.”
― Douglas Murray, The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity

“Internet nos ayuda a recordar, pero tambi茅n nos lleva a abordar el pasado desde una extra帽a omnisciencia. Esto convierte al pasado -como todo lo dem谩s- en reh茅n de cualquier arque贸logo con sed de venganza.”
― Douglas Murray, The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity

“Antes de la aparici贸n de internet, los errores de alguien pod铆an ser recordados dentro de su comunidad o su c铆rculo 铆ntimo. Empezar de cero en otro lugar era, al menos, una posibilidad. Actualmente, las personas son perseguidas por su doble all谩 donde vayan. Incluso despu茅s de muertas, habr谩 quien las exhume y saquee su tumba, no con la intenci贸n de conocer y perdonar, sino con af谩n de represalia y venganza. Por debajo de esta actitud subyace el extra帽o instinto revanchista de nuestra 茅poca, un instinto hace que nos creamos mejores que nuestros antepasados, pues sabemos c贸mo se comportaron y que nosotros los habr铆amos hecho mejor. Detr谩s de esto se oculta una falacia colosal: evidentemente, la gente de hoy en d铆a cree que habr铆a actuado mejor porque sabe c贸mo termina la historia, pero nuestros ancestros no contaban con ese lujo.”

“Saber que vas a perder no es lo
mismo que rendirte.”
― Mamen Conde, El mal menor

“Mi madre me explic贸 que la mayor铆a de la gente usaba su bandera no para expresar el amor por su patria, sino para manifestar su odio contra todo lo que fuera distinto. No la entend铆 entonces, y ojal谩 nunca hubiera llegado a entenderla.”
― Mamen Conde, El mal menor

“The new norm has become so stringent that even suggesting that there is a physical difference between a man and a woman can be considered a violation of sexual integrity.
The Black Lives Matter movement is captured in this as well. The tendency toward increasingly exhaustive standards with respect to racism intensified to little productive end: The chances that such rules truly contribute to the overcoming of the narcissistic superiority feelings that are involved in racism is, in fact, rather small.”
― Mattias Desmet, The Psychology of Totalitarianism

“The -woke- see people in terms of their group identity rather than their individual qualities. Race, gender and sexuality -as opposed to class or economic disparities- are taken to be the determining factors when it comes to mapping the power structures that undergird society. This is why intersectionality plays such a significant role within the discourse of Critical Social Justice.”
― Andrew Doyle, The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World

“First and foremost, -wokeness- is a belief system underpinned by the postmodernist notion that our understanding of reality is constructed through language. Its adherents are convinced that words can be a form of violence and that censorship -either by the state or Silicon Velley tech giants or societal pressure (colloquially known as cancel culture)- is therefore necessary to guarantee social justice.”
― Andrew Doyle, The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World

“The religion of Critical Social Justice, in other words, is a hydra with many heads. When one encounters someone who speaks in the familiar slogans of intersectionality, one can almost always predict their opinions on a whole range of other subjects. This is why the shorthand of -woke- has become so useful to encapsulate a range of interconnected identity-obsessed movements.”
― Andrew Doyle, The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World

“The map of the Critical Social Justice world is not composed of the coordinate systems of latitude and longitude, but the invisible power structures derived from a Foucaldian understanding of human relations.”
― Andrew Doyle, The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World

“Just as the symbol of Christ's crucifix encapsulates the triumph of the victim and has been exploited historically as a means to exert power over others, the rainbow Pride flag now serves a similar function.”
― Andrew Doyle, The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World

“The struggle for gay rights was about equal treatment before the law and making visible those whose persecution by the state had driven them into the shadows of society. Now that equality has been achieved, Pride has descended into a corporate orgy of identitarianism. The rainbow flag and all its tawdry spin-offs are a marker of virtue for companies that wish to sell products to the gullible and declare their commitment to -diversity and inclusion-.”
― Andrew Doyle, The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World

“It is only through reckoning with the truth that we might seek to ameliorate the many inequalities of our world. For all the emphasis on -lived experience-, objective truth still matters. We should be wary of those who tell us otherwise in order to preserve the delicate scaffolding of their pseudo-reality.”
― Andrew Doyle, The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World

“In a few short decades, the Western tradition has moved from being celebrated to being embarrassing and anachronistic and, finally, to being something shameful. lt turned from a story meant to inspire people and nurture them in their lives into a story meant to shame people. And it wasn't just the term "Western" that critics objected to. It was everything connected with it. Even "civilization" itself. As one of the gurus of modern racist "anti-racism," lbram X. Kendi put it, '"Civilization' itself is often a polite euphemism for cultural racism.”
― Douglas Murray, The War on the West

“Historical criticism and rethinking are never a bad idea. However, the hunt for visible, tangible problems shouldn't become a hunt for invisible, intangible problems. Especially not if they are carried out by dishonest people with the most extreme answers. If we allow malicious critics to misrepresent and hijack our past, then the future they plan off the back of this will not be harmonious. It will be hell.”
― Douglas Murray, The War on the West

“This is an unusual language for academics to write in: to boast that a particular collection of academics and teachers are, in fact, academics "with an activist dimension." And as for the admission that CRT seeks not just to understand society but to "transform it"? This is the language of revolutionary politics, not a language traditionally used in academia. But revolutionary activists were exactly those involved in GRT turned out to be.”
― Douglas Murray, The War on the West

“Race is now an issue in all Western countries in a way it has not been for decades. In the place of color blindness, we have been pushed into racial ultra-awareness. A deeply warped picture has now been painted.”
― Douglas Murray, The War on the West

“Like all societies in history, all Western nations have racism in their histories. But that is not the only history of our countries. Racism is not the sole lens through which our societies can be understood, and yet it is increasingly the only lens used. Everything in the past is seen as racist, and so everything in the past is tainted.”
― Douglas Murray, The War on the West
