The Britain you see online isn't real... | Sarah Rogers [ARC 2026]

Sarah Rogers argues that the Britain portrayed online is not the real Britain. Drawing on the shared history of Britain and America, she explores free speech, national identity, Brexit, and why the character of the British people—not viral headlines or social media memes—will determine Britain's future. __ Buy your 1st edition copy of our new book, The Age of Reconstruction: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1916948510 With the return of the ARC Conference this June, we are publishing a brand new book — the most comprehensive synthesis of ARC’s philosophy to date. Drawing on Augustine, Tolkien, and a long tradition of civilisational thinking, The Age of Reconstruction charts a path from diagnosis to renewal. While many can point out where things have gone wrong, this book does what most can’t: it lays out a vision of what we must build, how, and why it is still possible. Praise for The Age of Reconstruction: "Will Western Civilisation flourish, or flounder? It depends on us, and the decisions we make right now. And Johnny Patterson's wonderful 'The Age of Reconstruction' gives us the formula, based on timeless ideas and wisdom." — Arthur Brooks, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author __ Sarah B. Rogers is the current Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy. She joined the current administration following a career as a law-firm partner and free speech activist. __ 00:00 The Pilgrims and the Search for Freedom 01:25 Why the Pilgrims Chose America Over Europe 02:42 Britain and America's Shared Inheritance 03:09 Brexit and the Rejection of a 'Fake Consensus' 04:20 The UK You See Online 05:12 George Orwell and the Character of the English People 06:54 Why Britain Should Look West 07:21 America's Own Crisis of Censorship and Decline 08:49 Rejecting Helplessness and Reversing Decline 10:24 Why Britain Can Recover Too 11:21 The Greatness of the British People 12:00 "Britain Will Be Great Again" __ Subscribe to the ARC Newsletter for the latest updates from the ARC movement: https://www.arc-conference.com/subscribe Go deeper with ARC Research.
