Been thinking about this some more and something obvious has struck me. America and the New World in general has no History or Culture. That is so famous its even a joke (think of Monty Python making fun of Australian culture). America is just 250 years old and is composed entirely of immigrants, cos the original inhabitants were all slaughtered and with them went American history and culture, and so it started with a clean sheet. Now UK is also made of a lot of immigrants. My family came to UK 400 years ago. But the difference is that UK never started from a blank sheet and incorporates a complex society built up over millennia. So naturally we want to presence that identity. It's not that its not open to change, but we respect the Past in the old world. America can never understand this cos the Past for America is Amerindian genocide. So ironically this Woke lark belongs only in America, and in fact their resistance to the Old World way of respecting the Past comes from a genocide they committed that they are psychologically unable to deal with. And that is why the US projects all this guilt into the Holocaust so that they can gain access to all this evil but "over there" as Nazis. Now problem from UK is this has nothing to do with us. BUT the US Empire has pervaded this country so deeply over the last 40 years that many people don't remember they are British and not American. And also that what the US says is utter nonsense from our perspective. #Brexit2 is going to be a long process as we remove the haze from the eyes of the UK population who have been drugged and been sleeping in the American Dream.
