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.
You're right - the in-person conferences and rallies help...
While you know you are listening to a lot of "opinion" when you attend, and rah rah,... there are also many more nuggets of truth from real insiders.... and the being with others.. is HUGE.
Creating a unified vision with others is HUGE......
At a book table recently I met another from my profession and we bonded over our utter disgust and disdain for the FAKE one.. ran into her again later the same day and her tribe - and was surrounded by love... hadn't experienced THAT in many years... just people who utterly understand the struggle.. with no mics or cameras or agendas... just support.
Find them... find the others.
Keep searching..
It's the 3rd conference I've been too... many feel the same as us -and meeting them and talking and cheering and laughing .. heals.
