npub1933pz3fwzss2xlnre4hvmgl3fjr6cjpznyvuv3yrjahuzs6nvwhq0qjggw (npub1933…jggw) npub1ytfkc3ctrgv9jmrvva4zx0kfmljqfk3slhfv32w849xdctwykhgsghqtl6 (npub1ytf…qtl6) I'd just like to note that Brexit was/is clearly a utopian project (harking back to an idealized English past that never was) and has caused horrendous, ongoing damage in the UK. From a Putinist point of view the Ukraine invasion was a utopian project—to rebuild the pre-1914 Russian Empire and regain past tsarist glories. And so on.
When you visit a utopia, always look for the mass graves and the blank places on the maps that used to be cities.
