The Problem of Scale
Forget the boats (for now)- let's talk about the LONG TERM for a hot minute... (there certainly is not enough people in this movement doing that)
We can blame immigration all we want—as you'll know, I've never been quiet on this issue—but people sometimes forget who actually put us in this position in the first place: our own leaders, our own blood.
I'm pro-borders, but I've never subscribed to ethno-nationalism for precisely this reason. My own 'people' sold me down the river... why on earth would I have loyalty solely based on shared bloodlines? If you think I'd ever lay down my life for someone like Jacob Rees-Mogg for example, you're dreaming...
In my opinion- and this appears to be a less-discussed opinion- a fundamental (perhaps THE fundamental) issue is SCALE.
Nomadic tribes became static settlements. Settlements became kingdoms. Kingdoms became nation-states. Nation-states became bloated empires. Bloated empires became globalist leviathans. And at every step upward, the individual grew smaller, the bureaucrat grew safer, and the leadership lost touch with the human beings they were supposed to be serving.
Leaders have become so distant, presiding over tens of millions of people, that they eventually detach from reality entirely. They start using human beings as disposable pawns in their own ideological God-games. They remove all their freedoms to the point where they are completely dependent on the system for mere survival; with any say or sway over things like the law, border control or who lives next to them a mere pipe dream.
It's fundamentally unnatural—no other intelligent species expands its packs, flocks, or tribes to a size where the leadership can't see, hear, or feel the consequences of their decisions.
If a gorilla alpha started welcoming in chimpanzees to his inner circle, and siphoning the troop's food to a rival... guess what would happen to them? (It wouldn't be pretty)
Enormous societies create a massive shield of bureaucracy, noise, and chaos. It allows a corrupt political class to hide away from accountability while the average worker carries the load.
And practically speaking, it's a complete logistical impossibility. You cannot fairly cater to the specific, localised resourcing needs of thousands of distinct towns and counties from a single, cushioned vantage point in somewhere like. Westminster. The system is completely, structurally broken.
I don't actually know how the average man on the street ever allowed things to become this centralised and dystopian, but here we are.
In truth, SOLELY blaming the migrants is just arguing over the symptoms. The only real cure is breaking down these monstrous, unmanageable states and restoring power to an optimal, human scale—where government is actually terrified of the people it serves, not the other way around.
