    I'm drunk and can't remember which British writer said it (it'll probably end up being a Tony Benn quote) but it was said that fascism would not goosestep into power in England, but arrive with a tip of the bowler hat.

    In the modern-US it'll certainly be some maddening social-media melting pot of incongruous individualism.

      At least we know what the opposite of extreme individualism is, so we can do the opposite of it.
