The UK in the last 2 decades has been far more totalitarian than the US, even up to 2025. But the people in England seem to accept it and openly defend government encroachment even here on HN. While even smallest steps towards eroding rights in US have people there decry it, so it's far more controversial and newsworthy
But it's nice so many people care about the last few places where hard freedoms exist. The biggest risk is missing the forest for the trees and not seeing the local extensions of short term political comprise.
