Britian was being starved out and had lost a lot of supplies when France fell. One major factor was the nazis shifting focus from RAF bases to cities, aiming for the public instead of tactical military targets, probably expecting the brits to wave the white flag due to morale being broken faster than they couldd wipe out the airforce. I don’t think any of us living in these countries in modern times can truly comprehend how the people of the UK held it together during this.

Nazis had all of western europe except the UK. If UK had become nervous and negotiated peace, they could have won.

Except the UK didn’t because you don’t negotiate with nazis

It doesn’t sound like narcissism (from my own experience with narcissistic people). It sounds more like you are having some sort of episode. I’d strongly, strongly suggest getting in touch with a professional. I genuinely hope you are okay.

Check the expiration date, but you should be okay.

Everyone keeps saying ‘no, after you’ and no one manages to get through any doorway as a result and we all die of starvation/exhaustion.

Pretty sure the UK gov did that too via the Online Safety Act.

Appreciate what you are asking for but the internet is a shit-slinging fest and when you add upvotes and downvotes into the mix, a lot of people try to present the popular opinion. You’d need to have the discussions in person.

Its been so long since I saw a demotivational poster meme.

*Government: [insert blatant authoritarian/fascist requirement]… for the benefit of the kids. *

Its probably smarter to assume that every decision a gov makes is an attempt at backdoor-ing more surveillance.

Ecofascists love this line.

[–] gurty@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Ah, that makes sense.

You sound like a brilliant parent, and you really nailed it on the nostalgia stuff. I have no idea why someone downvoted you, some people are very bitter about stuff.
