I don't normally get involved in the English nationalist affairs, but I had to make this point.
We do.
We do all the time, every single moment of every single day, because we don't rise against our leaders.
Each and every moment that there is not an uprising by the majority of society does society give its approval of the status quo.
The government could not stand against an uprising; it is the people who have true power, if not control. We give our assent by not exercising our power, perhaps because society as a whole has the sense to realise that things aren't actually all that bad.
