There isn't an equivalent focus point in Britain as MAGA/Trump is for the USA. No rallies to attend, few public initiatives to retake our country, quite diffuse resistance to tyranny. It can be quite hard to face due to isolation, and you need people from the same physical and cultural terrain to chew it all over with.
When I see the local church flying Ukraine flags then I know I live in enemy captured territory. I guess if you live in lower coastal California it feels that way, or much of NY state or MA. No doubt there are plenty of British "white hats" — would be nice to meet more of them some day!
I am caught in a weird mid-Atlantic place, where I am not really part of either British or American society. There has to be some kind of transnational crisis or unifying event that forces the focus of all of humanity onto the need for fundamental change at every level.
I feel sad for my homeland. It does indeed feel captured at every level. It will take some YUGE reveals to set it on the right path. At least how I imagine Britain should be and could be. The bullshit aside I love this country. The folklore, older architecture, the climate, the rain, the people, and their humor as it's unlike anywhere else.
What's worse is that I haven't even been able to afford to explore any of my country in my 41 years so far. Am hoping that is going to change along with a whole load of other shit.
