Episode notes
EU Immigration Fractures Union
- The EU's immigration policies are fracturing the union's free movement principle, with member states reinstating border controls.
- Germany's initial open-door policy led to internal strain and now neighbors like Poland are resisting further migration flows.
Community Loyalty Over Justice
- The protests in Dewsbury supporting grooming gang members show community denial and ethnic solidarity overshadowing justice.
- Families and local defenders prioritize protecting their kin over victims' suffering and societal integration.
Liberalism's Rule-Based Danger
- The expanding laws defining terrorism and free speech harms lead to criminalizing ideology and normal dissent.
- Extreme liberalism reduces all to rules, allowing an abstract technocratic order to suppress opposing views and impose conformity.
