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.

Yep, maybe, hopefully more wake up, avoiding a greater suffering.

New management is operating with compassion because learned helplessness is a real phenomenon.

More trauma won’t heal trauma.

But a necessary ingredient for the reintegration of a broken society.
