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

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.
