I’ve been so sad for them for some time. I have been lucky enough to go multiple times and have spent a large amount of time traveling the UK alone. I no longer feel safe to do that. I grieve for the loss of their country and history and way of life- not that anything is final- but much like what has gone on over here for the past four years I have wondered why their government hates them and seems to be making decisions that will ultimately destroy their country and way of life. I have no answer for them nor for us. I hope they can turn it around. And I hope we can too.
My adoptive mother was born there, my grandparents met each other there after my polish grandfather was liberated from Auschwitz. She told me the other day that she was glad they never lived to see what Merry Olde England had become. In the words of my favorite poet,
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Joshua, Just bear in mind that we Brits find North America more foreign than continental Europe, despite our common language and the invading American culture. It’s something about scale and expectations. We’re in a bad place right now but it’s got to be assessed from a British standard, not an American one. Enjoy your work, much appreciated. Ch
You're in an abusive relationship with your immigrants and your government. It's tough to extricate one's self from such a situation, especially when you can't just pack up and leave.
Maybe you don't Americanize to solve the problem, so maybe return to your former strong sense of propriety and rule of law.
Learn to ditch the white guilt. Guilt makes you do the wrong things to assuage the uneasy feeling. Guilt is a tool of manipulation.
Like Josh, I am sick inside with the depth of the perversion that's being exposed. I recently watched this video wherein Jordan Peterson explains what motivates the paedos: https://youtu.be/Rkt9UpgLCio?t=4257
Maybe a knowledge of the wicked motives can help provide a stiff upper lip.
This is so good. I’ve spent a lot of time in Britain and I love it. I love the Brits - the English, the Scots, the Wel - wait, not the Welsh. Haha. Just kidding. But friends, read this and read it again, then start talking to your neighbors, and start taking action. Start putting real pressure on your elected officials. REAL PRESSURE. Not pleasantries. They’re RAPING YOUR DAUGHTERS. Don’t let them. Act like it’s war - because it is. Take ACTION. Man up.
If not, then do the respectable thing and just douse yourself in petrol and light a match. May as well. But I’d much prefer you take action and kick the rapists out of your country, along with all their countrymen, because they ALL feel entitled to rape your daughters, even though only some of them actually are doing it so far. Clean house. It’s your home, not theirs. Britain for the British. It’s your birthright. Take it back.
And it rather dovetails with the exchange I mentioned above, during which Trump was mentioned, as if there could be no conceivable reason to view his election with optimism, as a belated and necessary course correction.
The problem, I think – beyond the conceit that high-status (i.e., progressive) opinions equal rightness, touched on above – is that the situation, the mood, can become so demoralised, so all-encompassing, so personal, that any attempt to poke at the prevailing conceits may involve the kind of discussion that’s quite intense and socially awkward. One might say incriminating.
Sort of, “You believe this obvious nonsense, or pretend to believe it – regarding migration, multiculturalism, the climate, transgenderism, or whatever – and you think that this makes you a good person. But what if these conceits result in a practised unrealism, a habit of pretending, and thereby decline? What if your pieties are very much part of the problem?”
In terms of a casual chat, it risks exposing the kinds of realities that people don’t often appreciate and for which they won’t generally thank you.
All western countries face this predicament. All western women (and womanish men) refuse to have enough children so that they can instead sit in cubicles writing emails. If a culture has so little faith in itself and the future, well the barbarians will gladly rush in and apply the coup d’ grace in a brutal fashion.
I wouldn't blame women alone for the predicament - hard to commit to motherhood if you can't find a man with a decent income of house-purchasing proportions. Economic destruction of the working class is at the root of this. Piketty calls out a conspiracy between the "Brahmin left" and the "merchant right" for the state of affairs. The right stole our jobs, the left stole our culture.
You're quite right. It is good to be frank, especially when you care. I am the most timid, anxious, English wreck of a woman, and even I've found my tipping point. Just got to figure out feasible ways to make things better (I have a few ideas and will share a piece shortly on the matter).
For any fellow Brits reading this, remember that although we are not legally permitted guns of any sort for defence in our ridiculous country, there are gun clubs all over if you're interested in guns for sport. Having a rifle to participate in sports, including at gun clubs, is a possibility for ordinary people, not just for posh people or gang members. I plan to sign up for a gun club, it's something I've been interested in for a while. New Year, new start.
I wouldn't call myself an Anglophile but have grown close to it - I immigrated to Australia as a child in the late 80s. The self-loathing and flagellation Anglo/Celtic elites have is something I found amusing, then bizarre and eventually seriously threatening. Nobody forced me to assimilate, acculturation and appreciation of English and British history is something that happened organically.
Most nations don't have a lot to show for their histories - if I asked anybody to name a famous countryman of mine, they'd struggle to name anyone after Copernicus, Chopin and Madame Curie. And even then many consider the first German and assume the others were French...
The Anglosphere is on a trajectory to civilizational collapse - and mostly brought on by its own supposed cultural leadership. If that can happen to arguably the grandest modern culture it can happen to any.
Every now and then someone posts on telegram some homemade color footage of street scenes in London, 1950s. They title the posts "The past is a different country." Tidy shops, men and women all dressed up for the day, cheerful bartering at an openair market.
I recently finished reading Pat Buchanan’s book, “Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War”, and he describes how England, already as early as WWII, was no longer interested in keeping England for the English. Churchill could not find any allies to agree with him that they should not start importing their colonial subjects to England. I disagree with Churchill on many things, but he was 100% correct in saying that if England didn’t remain white, it would fall to the barbarians. But the English, weary of having fought two world wars, mostly the fault of their own leaders, did not have the energy or desire to uphold their own culture because they had stopped believing in the superiority of that culture. So, it was ripe for the taking. And the barbarians are always at the gates.
More loving words have never been spoken for our English brethren. I hope they can feel the love and love themselves as they should, with fierce righteous anger and self-forgiveness for taking the knee, but only after standing up and like Scottsman William Wallace, crying FREEDOM!
The UK (including Scotland) needs leaders that are willing to put a stop to this without care what the press, the Universities, or the elite class will say about them. You have to give to Trump that he has stopped caring about what allegedly "polite society" will say about him.

“And tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
― Alfred Tennyson, Ulysses

It's the white guilt over Empire, isn't it?

Josh I’m from Toronto and I can’t believe what happened to England. I’m with you.

Thanks for this. I live in Britain and I’m afraid you are absolutely right about the cowardliness of the people. MBGA has a long way to go.

The UK (including Scotland) needs leaders that are willing to put a stop to this without care what the press, the Universities, or the elite class will say about them. You have to give to Trump that he has stopped caring about what allegedly "polite society" will say about him.
Until then the madness will continue.
