I live in England's South East region, and there haven't been any disturbances here so far from what I can tell. I just wanted to point out that although the murder might have been the last straw for alot of people, posts like this are still getting almost 100K likes on X. Vast swathes of people will always be more concerned about "racism" that actually doing anything to stand up for English people. https://x.com/StanCollymore/status/1819442878956884182

I agree, I'm actually quite sceptical of these numbers OP, I totally get where you're coming from because not even a month ago I would have expected the normies to do absolutely nothing in the UK and it would be business as usual. However there are factors that are making me sit up, like how this is not just happening in poor shitholes and you also have the unrest breaking out near simultaneously.
We're potentially witnessing a popular revolt which hasn't happened for real in Britain for decades. Say what you will about Tim Pool but he's right when he talks about how social media often never translates to real world action. In this case a lot of the real world action sprung up first and then it kicked off on social media.
One thing I will give the OP though, because of where we're tactically placed, most of us living in the countryside or the suburbs will probably barely notice unless things get really really bad. That doesn't mean nothing significant is happening though.
Yeah I'm in a rural area. Most people are just out enjoying the Summer weather
Most stuff like this happens in this way. We keep thinking the entire world turns to flames, but really it's a few blocks. The vast majority of the people keep on living like nothing happened.
My favorite example, people set up picnics and watching areas for early battles in the American Civil War.
That's somewhat disingenuous. The whole picnic thing really only happened during the First Battle of Bull Run because most people didn't take the war seriously and thought it would be over in a few weeks. And war was something most of them had never seen before. No TVs or even radio, so the average person had literally never seen even a glimpse of war in their entire lives. The War of Northern Aggression would end up ravaging entire States, putting millions of people into poverty from rationing or having their farms razed by armies, and entire cities destroyed. Their world did turn to flames. It just took a little while.
Most people assume the war will be over in a few weeks. Though I will concern the picnics were only at Bull Run.
Imagine if people tried something like that today a swarm of drones a mile up in the sky would drop hundreds of mortars on them.
It wouldn't be an American war without thousands of civilian casualties.
That'll be it, I won't doxx myself obviously and you shouldn't either, I'm in a pretty quiet suburb which is why I'm confident in my security. Also I've renovated my house in such a way any criminals would have to make a major racket to break in anywhere. In fact most times it's so damn quiet I get woken up by birds, still getting used to it because I recently moved.
One thing I did notice, protesters are mostly older working class men who like footie. I doubt their going to do anything significant on their own.
This is true which is why I made a point to the Americans to keep an eye on the class of the people involved, if the middle classes start getting the pitchforks as well that's when Britain is really in for it, same goes for farmers.
Your last paragraph is the natural weakness of the right. It takes critical mass to do ANY thing of importance. The left tends towards cities so they are naturally densely packed and this makes it easier for them to meet, organize it at the very least feed off each other. The right is spread out over 98% of the landmass in the US and probably similar in most countries. Our distance makes it easier for us to remain comfortable longer and also harder to coordinate.
Modern communications technology and encryption all but obviate this problem.
Maybe but who knows about that. Most people I talk to won't put shit on electronic communication at all. If there is a way to talk privately (meaning even the government can't find out) then most people including me don't know about it.
The government has no practical way to bypass end-to-end, asymmetric encryption (the kind on which Signal, Telegram and even WhatsApp are based) without hacking and controlling the device in advance. This has been a huge problem for law enforcement for about 10 years. Drug trafficking convictions that would once have been easy based on text messages are now all but impossible, because drug dealers only use end-to-end encrypted communications now.
Generally, when convictions are obtained based on these types of messages (usually organized crime cases), it’s because one of the participants handed over his password. The same man who will hand over his password to the feds will identify you to them if he has met you in person.
I will be surprised if the FBI can ever gain access to Thomas Crooks’ encrypted messages.
