Why is he so popular with midwits?

>> No.16388354

literally who

>> No.16388355

because he is a modern non-fiction author

Didn't he start out as a Christopher Hitchens rip off? Imitate a midwit and you become a midwit too.

>> No.16388366

>>16388350
But I mean everything he says does have a point, it does just appeal to the slightly above average(which is important for getting your point across, but the thing that may be considered unfortunate is that he is appealing in an intellectual sphere, hence it is not-the-most-intelligent people in intellectualism which makes it appear negative; but it really should be viewed no different from any other mass belief).

no idea who he is, but he's attractive, so that's probably why

His favourite modern author is Houellebecq.

Because he follows the midwit formula --
He tells people 80% of what they already know and believe with 20% of new information.
It's not too challenging and feels like talking to a friend. It's not like you have to use your head to read his stuff.

To his credit he has been one of the first people to broach the demographic question (even if in a diluted way,) that is the modus operandi of /pol/ and the biggest flashpoint this century in western countries this century. His books and media appearances are really ‘cultural rot in the west 101’ and in that regard I appreciate him for putting himself out there. Before anyone wants to screech at me for whatever reason I’m not going to get into an argument with the trannies here who always argue that it both isn’t happening and that it is haha and that’s a good thing.

On demographics, could you go any further than Murray does and still have any sort of presence in Britain's mainstream media?

>> No.16388838

>>16388350
On YouTube he's essentially the British Jordan Peterson. Pretty much any video that is slightly too far to the right will have a Douglas Murray recommendation to get the users back on to the approved content.

Douglas M, get with it bro

Of course not. And let’s not pretend that Murray has a gigantic media presence either. Plus when he does appear he barely talks about demographics anyway.

Buchanan's 2000 book the death of the west included much more sources and was a good book

He was one of the biggest advocates for foreign intervention during the neocon reign. He wrote a book about how we need neoconservativism in Europe. He then has the gall to flirt with demographics after he and his cabal of Zionists turned the Middle East into an even worse cauldron of sectarian conflict and mass misery.

He's clearly an insidious little scumbag, a complete sophist but with a certain cunning for dissimulation. He steers British people into Muslim and Paddy bashing because it's generally accepted practice in Britain but defends Zionist and British occupation and oppression. He's a media favourite because he's safe opposition.
