British certainty
Random note triggered by spotting another example of this phenomenon....
In most Sorosian countries anti-globalist views are censored, but the censorship is ABSOLUTE and UNIVERSAL in Britain.
Absolutely everyone who posts anything on the web, in totally non-political situations, makes a HUGE POINT of smashing Russia, smashing Persia, smashing Widdecombe, smashing Farage, and now smashing Boris.
I noticed this first in 2016. I was asking a British acquaintance in graphics circles if he knew of someone who could make a crazy-looking alien figure for me. I'm no good at humanoid figures, and would pay for a character to serve as Sorosian or Gaian type in the blog. (I didn't say the latter to the British acquaintance, just described the looks of the wanted character.) He responded with the name and email of an artist in Ukraine who had done something similar. He then made a HUGE POINT of emphasizing that this Ukrainian was "on the good side, not the Russian side."
I was impressed and depressed by the STARK CERTAINTY of the opinion, and the unbreakable assumption that I would automatically agree with the opinion. The opposite opinion simply didn't exist and couldn't exist. No need to call it an opinion, no need to consider that others might disagree.
Newthink.
Since then I've noticed the same thing in forums on all sorts of topics where politics is normally absent. No conceivable reason to discuss Russia or Brexit or Farage or Widdecombe, but every message from UK contributors goes OUT OF THE WAY to bash the Unpersons.
Globalism is dominant everywhere, but only Brits show this total absorption with one side and total absence of comprehension that other sides ever existed.
