Alright, duly noted. So you're from the UK? You folks have a great ball team! But regarding tea, why in the world would you add milk to it? All you have to do is buy a cold bottle, flip the cap and enjoy the fizzy sweetness. Tea originated in Arizona and you'all in Kentucky probably don't like it...
I think it would be helpful to frame wokeness as a deeply un-cool "Americanization". This would probably make a lot of people in the UK want to run a thousand miles in the opposite direction.
For what it's worth, American solipsism bothers me because it has a tendency to export the worst parts of our culture to the rest of the world. There was a time when I could dream of visiting Europe and having a temporary escape from American racial neurosis. That is beginning to look less and less likely. American soft power slowly makes the rest of the world resemble us in our worst aspects.
