    These laws and normalization of rights violations are the perfect substrate for totally-not-Hitler-2.0 to get elected and take the reigns on, preventing any checks or balances against his/her power...

    Fascism is always homegrown. Fascist movements support each other globally, however.

    Fascism wasn't founded in some far off land and infected Europe. Fascism was created in Europe and spread to the rest of the world. This is the fruits of their labor sown long ago.

    Fascism is European... Europe is an inherently fascist culture. Mountains are reduced to gravel, and water tables are used for coolant, the land becomes uninhabitable and in the european mind this is called "development." Capitalism, fascism, socialism, communism - regardless the whole universe and every living organism in it is open to this sort of insanity. Time to start studying 3rd world, or what europeans like to call "underdeveloped" cultures. The whole Enlightenment started from the indigenous critique of european culture by native americans, the same ideas that (almost) overthrew the monarchy. We need to consult more of THOSE cultures, and less "european continuation" -isms.

    Well, at least they calmly explained their oppression and didn't immediately just put five bullets in the guy unlike a certain country.

    Not quite V for Vendetta yet, UK, but keep it up! You're getting there!

    I get that the British have had weaponized sarcasm for a while now, but from just that brief clip, I didn't see anything to justify an arrest

    What needs to happen is that all the people need to restrain the police. Gently. Not gently. I don't care. They are a fraction of the population and they need to be scared.
