A Stream of Digital Wokism

The European Conservative
June 27, 2025

People increasingly no longer “turn on the TV” or “watch cable”, they “stream” on their “device”. Which makes big-ticket streaming services like Netflix the leading cultural and even political arbiters of our era, writes Itxu Díaz in The European Conservative. And the uniformly woke and relentlessly left-wing torrent gushing forth to Netflix’s hundreds of millions of adherents, warns Díaz, is brainwashing a generation of young viewers with a deranged anti-Western worldview.

Inhuman for Criminals, the Luck of the Draw for You and Me

The EU may have banished the “‘inhuman,’ ‘degrading,’ and ‘irreversible’” death penalty for criminals, writes Frank Haviland in The European Conservative – but its member states’ soft-on-crime, easy-on-illegal-immigrants policies are making violent death an increasingly common fate for innocent Europeans. In a world gripped by barbarian forces, writes Haviland, it’s time for Great Britain to hold a national referendum on restoring an older form of justice.

His Royal Britannic Majesty’s Collapsing Clown Car

Gareth Roberts pronounces the 250,000 fellow citizens who’ve fled Britain since Labour’s election “wimps”. The escapees, Roberts notes in Spiked, are missing “a buffet of black comedy gold” – like the current alliance of transgenderism and radical Islam. While Roberts evokes Noël Coward’s advice to “laugh at everything,” in that particular case it might not really be the best medicine.

Hairstyling Causes Hydrophobia

In the category of “who knew” should be filed the insight by former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama that millions of black people “run away from water” and “can’t swim” because of their desperation to maintain the straightened hair they feel (racist) whites expect of them. As Larry Elder notes in Jewish World Review, Obama helpfully used much of a recent podcast to “explain” to “white people” that blacks have naturally curly hair.

When the Waves Turn the Minutes to Hours

John R. Grove commemorates the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald with a moving meditation on Gordon Lightfoot’s song memorializing the disaster and its 29 forever-lost victims. Lightfoot’s poetry and melody in The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald not only hauntingly convey the tragedy’s essential elements but, Grove writes in Law & Liberty, open a window to the sublime.
