I'm not trying to denigrate you for leaving; I don't think it's irrational, I don't think it's a bad choice, I agree that maybe the UK is already lost, I'm not even sure that I think accelerationism is correct. Those are all a bunch of separate debates. What I'm taking issue with is the fact that you're planning to leave and also lumping yourself in with a guy who says he's going to stay and fight. To continue your analogy of historical terms, it's like you exiled yourself but then you show up after a regime change and talk about how harsh you had it in the gulag. It's fine to leave, but you have to recognize that you are leaving, and other people are staying, and that if, as you put it, you get a chance to "return when things have calmed down," there's a very good chance that's because of the people who stayed and went through a much harsher time than you did.
I guess I don't come across as making sense sometimes with regards to that because I'm still very much in the decision making process. I'm almost there with it now though, if I saw people fighting back in earnest? It would convince me to think differently, however I don't think foreigners realise just how fucking awful the public are when it comes to all of this. The average member of the public in Britain especially if they live in the cities is incredibly left wing even by US Democrat standards.
I hope I am badly proven wrong but I pay attention to my instincts.
