Manufacturing Delusion mapped the manipulation—the institutional machinery of narrative control—so now watch Douglas Murray dissect the psychological stranglehold in The Madness of Crowds.

If Sexton handed you the map to media manipulation, Murray shows you the psychological grip behind it—identity politics as mass delusion, packaged by institutions that profit from confusion. Same combative cadence, samevillains-in-the-boardroom clarity, but Murray zeros in on the why: how gender ideology, racial orthodoxy, and grievance hierarchies rewired Western sanity. Every chapter is a loadout of quotable ammunition, structured for deployment in any argument you're already fighting.

He doesn't hedge. He doesn't soften. Murray names the madness—campus tribunals, corporate struggle sessions, media liturgies—and gives you the rhetorical upper hand to call it out without apology or footnote.

This is the intellectual backing you've been waiting for, sharpened into rallying lines.
