Murray is a prominent British member of the “Intellectual Dark Web” (IDW) of countercultural intellectuals — such as Sam Harris or Jordan Peterson — who openly contest the sacralisation of disadvantaged race, gender and sexual identities. The IDW’s willingness to transgress the speech rules of the progressive twitterati marks them out as heretics who violate the sensibility of academia, Hollywood and parts of the media.
How did our societies become so insane? In The Madness of Crowds, Murray argues that it’s because highly educated people cling to a new religion known variously as “social justice”, “identity politics” or “intersectionality”. Essentially this is the old Marxist faith poured from the class bottle into the race-sex-gender one. Meaning is realised through struggle against those who commit wrongthink.
