I dunno, I've been reading a lot of mocking replies to news stories about flag erectors on Facebook and the general public opinion seems very much along the lines of what Orwellian wrote about English / British patriotism during WW2. These displays aren't who we are as a nation, outside of sport.
But yes, hard not to be overwhelmed, especially when media & politicians seem to endorse them but no call for you to take action to end yourself. Reform have been given enough rope to hang themselves and I don't think they'll win because their candidates are so low grade (and in some cases deceased)
Get out into nature away from flags and social media whenever you can and š talk to someone (including me) if you feel like there's no alternative except to end it all. It is rarely the correct choice for most of us while there is the possibility of change, but sometimes we all get stuck in the dark
