British Imperialism

[The Legend of Southall]

They were no doubt popular once in power. But that's the power of propaganda and war, not the general "morality of the time".

They weren't seen as evil at the time, they were just another political party. They were not even fascist to begin with

 

[The Legend of Southall]

It's just as effective now, its why the population always vote for a government who couldn't give a toss about them and the only time a labour government gets in is if the media like them (ie they are more like Torys.)

Social media is rife with it.

Absolutely. With new ways of muddying the water.

Social media is quite effective at circulating things to point were they become facts

We need to pay very close attention to what is happening in Britain now

A nation that does not confront its national identity will not be able to move forward

If one does not confront the basic truths of one’s national identity, one will not be able to trace a path forward. Everything becomes a fiction, a narrative designed to block any kind of self-examination. There is lots of talk about gaslighting these days, but the foundational component of gaslighting begins far from the corridors of power. The British have been gaslighting each other and themselves for generations. This is the personal propaganda cycle that colonialism instigates. It creates a false hierarchy of superiority rooted in fictions about magical personal and national prowess.
