Reposted by GemmaHelene von Bismarck @helenebismarck.bsky.social · 16/06/2025All this stuff about Britain is broken, all is terrible, there is no recourse, society is falling apart, if there was a war nobody would go, etc is beginning to irritate me. There are doubtlessly considerable problems. But I worry that the catastrophizing could turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy. 149853108
