Murray traces the roots of the anti-Western sentiment that has become increasingly prevalent in recent years to the Frankfurt School, a group of Marxist philosophers who emerged in Germany in the 1920s. The Frankfurt School's critique of Western capitalism and culture laid the groundwork for the postmodernist and critical theory movements that would later dominate academia and the media.

Postmodernism and critical theory reject the Enlightenment values of reason, objectivity, and universal truth. Instead, they emphasize the importance of identity, subjectivity, and power. This has led to a culture of victimhood in which people are encouraged to see themselves as oppressed by the dominant culture.

The decline of religious faith has also contributed to the War on the West. In the past, Christianity provided a moral framework for Western societies. However, the rise of secularism has led to a decline in religious belief and practice. This has created a vacuum that has been filled by other ideologies, such as identity politics and environmentalism.

Finally, the growing influence of authoritarian regimes is also a threat to the West. These regimes, such as China and Russia, are hostile to Western values and seek to undermine them. They do this by promoting their own ideologies, funding anti-Western propaganda, and supporting anti-Western movements.

Murray argues that the War on the West is a serious threat to our civilization. He warns that if we do not take action to defend our values, we will lose the freedoms and prosperity that we have enjoyed for centuries.

The Rise of Identity Politics

One of the most significant factors contributing to the War on the West is the rise of identity politics. Identity politics is a political approach that focuses on the interests of a particular identity group, such as race, gender, or sexual orientation.

Identity politics has its roots in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly divisive. Identity politics encourages people to see themselves as victims of the dominant culture. This has led to a climate of intolerance and censorship.

For example, on college campuses, students who express views that are not in line with the prevailing orthodoxy are often shouted down or even assaulted. This is a clear violation of academic freedom. It is also a sign of the growing intolerance of dissent that is characteristic of identity politics.

The Decline of Religious Faith

Another factor contributing to the War on the West is the decline of religious faith. In the past, Christianity provided a moral framework for Western societies. However, the rise of secularism has led to a decline in religious belief and practice.

This has created a vacuum that has been filled by other ideologies, such as identity politics and environmentalism. These ideologies often promote values that are in conflict with traditional Western values, such as individualism and free speech.

For example, identity politics emphasizes the importance of group rights over individual rights. Environmentalism often promotes a negative view of human activity, which can lead to policies that restrict economic growth and technological progress.

The Growing Influence of Authoritarian Regimes

Finally, the growing influence of authoritarian regimes is also a threat to the West. These regimes, such as China and Russia, are hostile to Western values and seek to undermine them.

They do this by promoting their own ideologies, funding anti-Western propaganda, and supporting anti-Western movements. For example, China has been accused of funding Confucius Institutes at Western universities to promote its own ideology and culture.

Russia has been accused of funding anti-Western propaganda outlets, such as RT and Sputnik, to spread disinformation and sow discord in Western societies.

The growing influence of authoritarian regimes is a serious threat to the West. These regimes are hostile to our values and seek to undermine them. We must be vigilant in defending our freedoms and prosperity from these threats.

The War on the West is a serious threat to our civilization. If we do not take action to defend our values, we will lose the freedoms and prosperity that we have enjoyed for centuries.

We must stand up to the forces that are trying to destroy our civilization. We must defend our values of reason, objectivity, and universal truth.

We must also promote religious faith and individual liberty. These are the values that have made the West great. They are the values that will save us.
