It’s happened numerous times throughout history. We are now where our ancestors found themselves time and time again.
Well, well. I sympathize with you. It’s been a long time since George III, and for the most part both America and modern England have developed ideas of freedom. England—and Christian Europe—is where Americans got their concept of freedom from, even though they had to fight them to get it.
I have English cousins, and spent a year there as a visiting scholar at Jesus College, Cambridge, as well as various shorter visits.
I must say that I think England has gone down hill too, since the days of World War II and the post-colonial fiascos. Neither country is what it was, and it’s hard to say which of them faces the worst karma, frankly. Think Prince Charles or David Cameron, and compare them to Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchill, or Maggie Thatcher.
I don’t think I like you, but I do respect your right to speak, even if I disagree with you.
Best of luck to you, personally, in Europe’s invaded future, and best of luck you you all.
I don’t know if we will be able to help this time, weakened as we have been by our “own” leadership.
