Reference :- Neoconservative commentator young Douglas Murray was recently interviewed ...again .

Reference : - Young Douglas Murray promoted his new book in an interview with Jordan Peterson . 

Dear Douglas , 

                         Without wishing to seem presumptuous ,  once again we remind you that trying to restore your reputation , following what is surely one of the most humiliating defeats in the history of debating , is not wise at present .  Furthermore , what were you thinking when you decided to promote your book in an interview with Jordan Peterson , of all people ?     Young Jordan is a card carrying member of the increasingly discredited far right brigade , and will do your sullied reputation no favours at all .

In fact , trying to flog off copies of your book anywhere right now is not a good idea .   The title alone "  On Democracies and Death Cults " is enough to make eyes roll among those of even modest intellect .  Is it really worth revealing yourself as a racist bigot just for the few shekels you might glean from selling a propaganda booklet . A booklet so full of fibs that you would never dare to defend it in a discussion with anybody who has followed the history of the Middle East .    Norman Finkelstein , for example .     Footnote :-   If you ever did accidentally end up debating him , despite your persistent refusal,  whatever you do don't call him a Holocaust denier again .  He regularly refers to the fact that his Jewish parents miraculously survived the Holocaust .  Calling him a Holocaust denier again would smirch your reputation still further .... if that is possible . 

Anyway Douglas , money is tight here in Kooralya , what with the floods and all , so we have not ordered a copy of your book . ( It does seem a tad overpriced too , in my opinion . )  Ken junior asked about it .  

" Who are these Death Cults ? " , Ken junior said . 

" Palestinians , and others in the Middle East who don't like the way the West treats them , apparently . ", I said . 

" What are we doing about them ? " , Ken junior said . 

" Bombing and starving them to death in the tens of thousands ... mostly women and children ." , I said 

"  Who are the Democracies ? " Ken junior said . 

" Those are the countries in the West that believe in the rule of law , peace , fair elections , equality of economic opportunity ,  freedom of speech and tolerance for individual expression . ", I said . 

"  I like the concept , but have not heard of a country like that in the West ." , Ken junior said . 

" Well , at least we in the West strive to achieve those goals . " , I said . 

" Do we  ? " , Ken junior said . 

So Douglas , my point is this . Do you think you could write a book that endeavours to create harmony in the world rather than division ?  Calling any society that doesn't run a fake democracy a death cult is no way to foster peace  .  Write a book that promotes peaceful cooperation , feign a little humility and self deprecation ,  and publish it once your current state of utter disgrace has subsided somewhat  . 

Of course , you have no hope of ever reclaiming your reputation as an intellectual , that is a lost cause . But , if you are lucky , folk might stop thinking of you as a monster who applauds genocide  .  Take heart from the fact that your reputation as an intellectual was entirely undeserved , so you were lucky to enjoy it while you could . As they say .... easy come , easy go.  Move on .

Lastly , it behoves a chap to keep his hair tidy when he is going through emotional hell .  Why let the world know you are a wreck by neglecting your appearance , which so easy to maintain ?   If you are full of booze or pills (how would I know ? ) at least make sure you don't give the game away with shoddy grooming .  

 Keep your pluck up young fellow . 

Your comrade , Ken .
