      Tory leadership is full of pick me ultra-assimilationists like him. All trying to be "one of the good ones". See also Maggie Thatcher, or Sunak's main competitor Liz Truss, or former competitor and TERF attorney general Suella Braverman, and sho on and sho on. I'm sure their fellow Torys love all of them for "not being easily offended" at slurs and "being able to take a joke" at their people's expense.

      England needs to be reduced to cinders.

      Diaspora populations can be host to some of the biggest Uncle Toms (or local equivalent) around. After all, many of them had the choice of where to go and chose to go to Britain.

        I REALLY hate to comment on India, as I know fuck all. But every reactionary Indian I meet has a super sus class background. Like his grandfather was a huge landlord before land reform, or their family were brahman.

        I guess this fits most reactionaries I meet anyhow.

          I'm basing my post on what I've experienced with various East Asian diaspora populations. Ofc each place and group of people has their different historical and materialistic circumstances and I don't intend my post to be anything except the broadest generalization.

            Oh, I'm more adding to what you're saying than disagreeing with you. I've totally seen many immigrant populations as full of chuds. I suspect that the barrier to entry for non whites is higher, more money makes it easier to immigrate, and being a leftist would make it hard to get a visa.

            The most obvious examples would seem to be Cuban Americans and many overseas Vietnamese. (sorry to generalise)

              Yeah I think your analysis is reasonable for many groups. I'll just add that Cuban Americans and Vietnamese Americans are a little different since they're fleeing from a socialist country so are already more likely to be enemies of that country's revolutionary government.

      Indian Americans can be MAGA/Modi dual nationalist types.

      consider how India's today's caste system is maintained by the Brits, people at the top of the caste are also the ones who are part of the diaspora.
