This took place over centuries but now mass media showing what US is supposed like encourage people to leave but media ignores the dead and dying living on the streets in the US.
US is on the verge of collapse as Debt, migration and a divided people fight verbally among themselves, with a desire to oust anybody who doesn't agree with a particular viewpoint, it doesn't take much to move it from it from verbal to a bit more. The swamp are out in force telling the people they decide what elected people should do and at their bidding.
Uk is pretty similar but it kept all the trappings of power to the gilded rich, the poor can live in Grenfell tower and other places.
Media spin one narrative but that comes undone so now they want control.
Politicians need to be brave to stand up for their country, there are few I see capable of this.
Most will think short term and for personal enrichment only, a nigerian friend, well educated family said in Africa the issue always was that leaders sought personal power and wealth because they knew once out of power it could be taken from them. The viewpoint was there was never enough money so they would grab more and more, sadly in 20 odd years I see UK politicians using every means possible to do the same where Salary is not enough so use of expenses and fiddles is the means to enrich onself.
Christ, do you actually believe what you just wrote...??
