Perfect description of the state of things. I would add that there is a certain class of people, not in power, who have succumbed to all the neurosis currently inflicting the elite. It makes these people behave like headless chickens running hither and thither in constant fear of everything. The people who believed every word of the Covid narrative and the Climate narrative and the racism narrative. They, too, need dealing with. So...what is the answer? How do we slow-to-anger-Anglo-Saxons (and the Celts) deal with all this? Do we just sit and watch the destruction of our country and our people and simply hope for the best? Because there will be no "best" will there? There will be either a secular totalitarian state or an Islamic totalitarian state, both full of poor, uneducated, unemployed and unimportant people.
I think the true believers are a lost cause. As for turning it around? Too many are comfortable and still tune into the traditional news outlets. That is changing of course.
I suspect the favoured groups will out themselves. Some cultural groups are already inviting anger due to their antics and the pressure is mounting. Constantly accusing normal people of racism and sexism and all the rest exhausts them. And we have reached fatigue. A similar transformation is happening in the US where they of course have the same problem. But the fatigue is real.
Our total decline will make all the bullshit obvious. Why am I paying taxes for foreigners to be on the dole or to lecture foreign nations about climate?
I think the liberal west will collapse. It is anybody's guess what happens next.
I have long thought the liberal west will collapse. I am old! I didn't think we would survive into the 21st century so we are, in my opinion, on borrowed time. I had hoped it wouldn't happen until me and mine were well dead but things happen slowly and then very quickly don't they? The comfortable are becoming fewer although we all have an awfully long way to fall, even those who consider themselves poor. Many of the recent immigrants will leave when the money runs out, the boomer generation is beginning to die off and their money will disappear into care homes. Sadly, my children will live to see the mess which has all been caused by inadequate politicians making inadequate decisions. Because, it really is all caused by politics - every single bad decision since at least the end of the war is a political choice.
Have you ever witnessed when animal that has been kept confined for so long it has forgotten the outside world, is allowed to go out - free or at least in a large suitable enclosure?
That is the class of people that has succumbed. Even if you open the door to their cage, they fear the outside because the cage is all they know. The cage is where food is, where their blanket is, where whatever pitiful bone or stick they have for company is, and so in their mind the cage is the world and a safe place.
Some animals will even fight to stay locked up.
But different from humans, once it do step outside, its true spirit erupts in joy over life's wonder.
I currently own two adopted dogs, one a victim of abuse and one a former sleigh-hound who has only ever lived in kennels with a dozen or more other dogs. Rehabilitating them (mostly just letting the real dog within them out, really) is a thing that brings hope.
We can and must rehabilitate our fellows too, so that they understand that staying in the cage is their own choice, nothing else.
And given the choice once freedom has been tasted, few are those that would go back in, I think.
"Deviation from the establishment view means excommunication and social exile."
Regarding "social exile"...
I've been thinking a lot lately about something professional hypnotists figured out some time ago: about 20% of the population is highly suggestible and very easy to hypnotize; 20% thinks independently and cannot be hypnotized; the remaining 60% are somewhere in between.
So under the current regime, a large number of people (20% plus a substantial portion of the 60% who lie on the continuum between high suggestibility and independent thinking) are going to just "go with the flow."
This can leave the 20% (of which practically all the readers of this Stack will be members) feeling like they are in "social exile" for maintaining their grip on sanity.
It's one of the hardest things in the world for a social being (as we humans are) to be ostracized from the group. One of the things I appreciate most about blogs like this one is that it is a way for "the 20%" to know we are not alone.
I think the isolation people feel is the main target for us. We must remind people millions are with them. I remember during Covid trying to work out how many were resisting. The official figure in Britain was something like five percent. But in the end it was 25 percent or thereabouts.
I think your numbers are probably consistent with just about everything. 20-30 percent can resist. About 20 percent become fanatics. The rest go with the flow.
A huge part of propaganda is demoralization. And a big part of that is making you feel like an outlier. Everyone else supports X, so what is wrong with you?
I am reminded of Ellul's view on propaganda. Its role is not to be accurate. It is there to saturate the airwaves so other views are simply absent.
This seems to be a mounting global condition which reminds me of The Age of Great Delusion when up is down and good is bad - however, it's not as though historically speaking there have not been repeating patterns of the rise and fall of civilizations. Here I sit, watching as my country falls apart, so many believing lies because the lies sound soooo much better than truth.
I have had email friends in the UK and we commiserate with each other on the no longer hidden forces of decay. I have noted that it seems to me that the US has been tagging along about 5 to 10 years behind the UK in the falling apart phase. But we are rapidly catching up.
The one thing I struggle with is - how is it the narcissistic psychopaths find ways to get the majority of voters to elevate them to positions of power? My only fall back is 2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:
I don't know where you live, but if a UK citizen can have 11 cops arrest her in her home for using the word faggot in a text message - I do hope you have some kind of protection - though I have no idea what that might be. A hidden safe room?
To answer your question, how do we end up with the psychopaths and narcissists everywhere? A people hire other A people. B people hire C people. That's the way in.
And yes, things are becoming totalitarian in Britain. A sign of their desperation.
So follow the money I guess. Here we have rampant voter fraud too. Illegals and people long buried are somehow getting to vote but - NO VOTER ID required because, as the dumb excuse is spewed - some people don't have IDs. Right. And you see the reality is blantant lying is the new truth.
Yes all of which is a stalling operation as the country is in decline. Voting won't matter without an economy or a coherent nation. I think the US could balkanize, so who knows what is ahead?
But the blatancy of the corruption is horrifying. Becoming the norm though.
It's like I am in a living nightmare. Every day some person with name recognition and a form of power speaks an absurdity, sometimes so ridiculous. that only the lowest IQ could accept it as real. Actually I saw this coming years ago as the dumbing down process was slowly easing into the warp and weft of the fabric of our society. So, here we are, the masses dumber than a box of rocks.
I have been following the travails of Tommy Robinson for more than a decade. Because of his promotion of Christianity, he has been imprisoned many times. Half of America is suffering from the same insanity that Great Britain has caught. The only question is whether the spiritual/mental disease can be stopped.
I think it will burn itself out. Plus it is expensive to indulge in the trashing of your own carefully created culture by importing new ones, as Minnesota is finding out.
Our leaders today are unusually cut off, and that will be their undoing.
Currently my greatest frustration is the sudden morphing of our judicial system to release violent felons, even as they imprison and/or harass law abiding citizens. Where is the logic? What is the point? Maybe it's just demonic possession or something?
Left hemisphere thinking. People captured by bad ideas, in this case novel ideas around criminality and recidivism. They are lost, and they will be replaced. They cannot be our future.
I'm old. I have great grands now. It's not my future that concerns me. The 'left hemisphere' mindset is founded in the delusion of self righteousness, what I refer to as living for good for goodness sake ideology. Recently I read an article about a Somali multiple times arrested violent felon who rapes young girls. The judge determined he was just doing what he knows culturally. So, if I could interview the judge I would have to ask - so if he is harming American citizens because of his culture, why is he here? Why not send hm back to where his culture is acceptable? I can only imagine the sanctimonious smack down I would get.
My deep abiding faith consoles me that one day God will pull the plug. In the meantime, we don't give up, we stand, even if we are imprisoned or worse. For me, the choice is clear - I cannot compromise to gain some temporary earthly reward.
Every society ( with the exception of India?)goes through periods of growth, heroism, degradation, and destruction. America's destruction could be delayed by the current administration; but the violence will continue and grow as long as Satan and his goblins are in control.
Most Christians believe the 'age of miracles' ended with the resurrection of Christ. Miracles are still possible when we devote ourselves to the search for Reality. Yogananda's AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI is an inspiration to me and I wish I could cut/paste chapter 46 - the report of Ananda Modi Ma healing a man and stopping him even as the death-rattle had begun. Healing ourselves and our nations is possible only with faith and meditation.
This is well-written but my disgust with the compulsive leftist mental disease that Britain has become overwhelmed me & I couldn't finish reading it. The world is seriously fed up with Britain, or rather with its repulsive leaders, so much so we just don't care any more. How viciously repulsive that the slimy British left is ashamed of Britain. Ah ye gods. They aren't capable of even a tenth of what their forebears achieved, and they trash that?! It's mildly pathetic. PM Starmer perfectly captures this feral lefty mindset. Ugh.
They cannot even maintain current Britain so no, they could not have built it. These are the spoilt descendants of the builders. They take it all for granted. The most dangerous thing they squander is respect for law and order. That will come back to haunt them all.
UK Uniparty politicians are inveterate, neurotic liars because every important policy is set not by them but by the deep state which controls them. The problem is that these policies were always crazy, unfathomable and almost certain to end very badly: the climate change hoax, the Covid “plandemic”, the stupidly-provoked war in Ukraine, mass immigration of culturally-alien fighting-age young men, the notion that men can have babies, … you name it.
Their lies are so obvious, it’s amazing they manage to take in so many people.
I am always skeptical of the notion of a deep state. I think what we call the deep state is really just the state, especially a bureaucratized one. They take on a life of their own and consume all in their path. It seems to be a bit like an organism, it seeks to survive by any means.
I think Trump is doing some useful things, but ignoring others. I fear he does the bidding of the globalists. But I will see how things pan out across the next few years.
I dont know where the faction lines are drawn in the Elite. But I see Trump doing the bidding of the Muslim nations (Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia) as assiduously as he can, while thwarting the Globalist institutions like WHO, the international courts, and the E.U.
I am not so sure about that. We are all British. I think given mass immigration it will go in the other direction and draw people together. We are hated for being British not for being Cornish or English etc.
"Britain is a disaster. The country seems to be in terminal decline."
This can be said of most Western nations.
"Not only do we see a lack of ability to turn things around we witness leaders and prominent decision makers evidently clueless about normal life and the hardships many now face."
They are not clueless; they don't care.
"Our culture is young compared to Africa and India, yet we conquered both and brought a modern civilization they still cannot match."
I would not take pride in conquering other nations. Pride should come from cultural and technical advancements.
"Britain’s regime seeks to manage everyone’s life. From digital IDs to regulation of the internet, even control of movement and food supplies."
Just as it did in Africa and India, when it conquered them.
It's not just Britain (although that's a not-small smaple size) but entire profesisonal fields like that of psychology, and academia broadly, ahve fallen into the same feedback loop. I have genuinely no idea how to change it.
It is a difficult thing. It took decades or more to get here so probably no easy answers. They say science progresses one funeral at a time, so time will tell.
Neurotics manipulated by narcissists; can there be a more toxic brew?
A psychopathic despot would not rule the way British elites do, I think, since he or she would have an instinctual understanding that his/her life would be very much on the line all the time, if the underlings carrying out orders were to start to grow too dissatisified.
(Claudius replacing Caligula comes to mind, too easily almost. Or Stalin, though I doubt he was i any way psychopathic; he was simply Georgian and Russianised enough to have a keen understanding of how Russia has always worked, no matter what colours you dressed it up in.)
Steam engine huh. I mean, really! Even the ever-so-woke Wikipedia of all places has a detailed run-down of the evolution of the steam engine, from Heron and onwards. Blaming Watt and Britain is brick-to-the-face retarded. It's like blaming WW2 on whomever the Korean (or Chinese) that invented gun powder was.
Or Ugh the Apeman for picking up that tapir-bone and discovering tools.
But as you point out in stark colours, that is the neurotic mind: invent an external ur-source to blame. Also, if I may add to your text, neurotics hate others with a great passion, only their often cripling depression hides this hate behind their insipid self-pity. And the reason they hate others is, if others can and they can't - it hurts so much more.
It is directly parallel to how addicts function in groups: they will actively sabotage anyone trying to go cold turkey and stay clean, because if Shanya can kick her crack-habit and they can't despite being in smiliar dire straits, then what does that tell them about themselves?
Therefore, it is not wrong to say that hate is the main driver of the actions of a neurotic. And just look to the left - what are the emotional palette underlying all their arguments?
Hate, envy, resentiment, revanchism, schismaticism, fear, obsessive-compulsive need for control, and safe spaces (i.e. freedom from costs, consequences and challenges).
"A key attribute of neurosis is persistent fear or worry."
Absolutely so, and again if I may add my crayons to your oil painting, it is even worse than that:
Fear of worry and worrying about fear. To alleviate the Fear they seek control, which feeds worry about whatever they can imagine is outside their control. Seeking to control everything leads them to fear the unknown and unknowable.
Their minds are like a Gordian knot which re-ties itself no matter how much it is cut.
The only thing I've found that helps neurotics, barring open-air institutions and mild medicinal regimes (or that rare 1/20 who manages to externalise their neurosis so that they can visualise themselves fighting it and thereby gaining some control over the neurosis itself, proecting their fear and hate onto that within which makes the feel bad instead of onto the outside world) is physical trials they cannot escape from, and that's a form of therapy we no longer use due to concerns of ethics and integrity.
But in the case of the British leadership classes, physical trials is the ticket I feel. Can there be a new Cromwell in the making mayhaps?
Something is in the making. And if they continue as they are they will get their physical trials.
I think we have a lot of people in the elite groups and adjacent groups who are inevitably cut off from normal life. I think a lot is just that. So their anxiety and fear is constantly there due to distance from normal people.
If it's any consolation, ze Germans are even worse and more neurotic.
And at least in Britain, there is now a realistic chance for the necessary change and disruption in a few years, something the German establishment is hell-bent on and still in a strong position to prevent.
Yes. Not saying I trust it/them much to deliver once in power but at least, there could be a chance and a chance that they then try and deliver on some issues.
Their hope is their rank and file are not globalists. They are probably actual patriots. But Reform are in favour of immigration whereas the majority want it stopped, followed by mass deportations. They will never deliver on that given who funds them.
But yes, one option is they win a landslide then the globalists are ousted once they are in power. A Trojan Horse scenario.
Perfect description of the state of things. I would add that there is a certain class of people, not in power, who have succumbed to all the neurosis currently inflicting the elite. It makes these people behave like headless chickens running hither and thither in constant fear of everything.

Yes lots of bad decisions. All driven by bad ideas and most of them based on egalitarianism.
Have you ever witnessed when animal that has been kept confined for so long it has forgotten the outside world, is allowed to go out - free or at least in a large suitable enclosure?

And yet the coward statistics seem to be rising. 🙄

Their lies are so obvious, it’s amazing they manage to take in so many people.
Just look at the Salisbury Novichok false flag being wheeled out again to denigrate Russia because the UK deep state doesn’t like what President Trump is doing on Ukraine: https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2025/08/the-salisbury-novichok-false-flag/.
I‘ve recently come across a group called Promethean Action who say they have been studying the actions of the UK deep state for decades and are excited now that President Trump is unspokenly fighting against it. Interesting to follow: https://www.prometheanaction.com/the-midweek-update-britains-worst-nightmare-three-nuclear-powers-meet-in-moscow-december-3-2025/?ref=promethean-action-daily-newsletter.
Also here on the USA’s new National Security Strategy: https://www.prometheanaction.com/the-saturday-wrap-up-trumps-warning-to-europe-civilizational-erasure-december-6-2025/.
Despite widespread TDS, President Trump is our beacon of hope.
I am always skeptical of the notion of a deep state. I think what we call the deep state is really just the state, especially a bureaucratized one. They take on a life of their own and consume all in their path. It seems to be a bit like an organism, it seeks to survive by any means.
I think Trump is doing some useful things, but ignoring others. I fear he does the bidding of the globalists. But I will see how things pan out across the next few years.
Agree: we'll see how things pan out.
I dont know where the faction lines are drawn in the Elite. But I see Trump doing the bidding of the Muslim nations (Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia) as assiduously as he can, while thwarting the Globalist institutions like WHO, the international courts, and the E.U.
It is hard to say and he is limited in what he can do.
"Despite widespread TDS, President Trump is our beacon of hope."
You drank too much Kool-Aid.
Britain is dead. Some or all of England, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, and Ireland will survive. because those are the folk nations.
I am not so sure about that. We are all British. I think given mass immigration it will go in the other direction and draw people together. We are hated for being British not for being Cornish or English etc.
"Britain is a disaster. The country seems to be in terminal decline."
This can be said of most Western nations.
"Not only do we see a lack of ability to turn things around we witness leaders and prominent decision makers evidently clueless about normal life and the hardships many now face."
They are not clueless; they don't care.

I would not take pride in conquering other nations. Pride should come from cultural and technical advancements.
"Britain’s regime seeks to manage everyone’s life. From digital IDs to regulation of the internet, even control of movement and food supplies."
Just as it did in Africa and India, when it conquered them.
It was a time of conquest, but I concede the point. But we were able to bring a degree of sophistication then that is absent even now.
I am not sure I would compare today's psychopathic technocrats with the various colonial governments, but perhaps the natives would.
" But we were able to bring a degree of sophistication then that is absent even now."
The purpose of conquest was not to enlighten, but to subjugate...to concur
Yes and no. The British Empire did a lot more than just conquer. Look what we built in India and Africa.
Compare the effects of British colonialism in Southern Africa to the Bantu conquests which proceeded it.
And it wasn't Europeans who largely exterminated the Pygmies and Bushmen/San of the Southern half of Africa.
It's not just Britain (although that's a not-small smaple size) but entire profesisonal fields like that of psychology, and academia broadly, ahve fallen into the same feedback loop. I have genuinely no idea how to change it.

It is directly parallel to how addicts function in groups: they will actively sabotage anyone trying to go cold turkey and stay clean, because if Shanya can kick her crack-habit and they can't despite being in smiliar dire straits, then what does that tell them about themselves?
Therefore, it is not wrong to say that hate is the main driver of the actions of a neurotic. And just look to the left - what are the emotional palette underlying all their arguments?
Hate, envy, resentiment, revanchism, schismaticism, fear, obsessive-compulsive need for control, and safe spaces (i.e. freedom from costs, consequences and challenges).
"A key attribute of neurosis is persistent fear or worry."
Absolutely so, and again if I may add my crayons to your oil painting, it is even worse than that:
Fear of worry and worrying about fear. To alleviate the Fear they seek control, which feeds worry about whatever they can imagine is outside their control. Seeking to control everything leads them to fear the unknown and unknowable.
Their minds are like a Gordian knot which re-ties itself no matter how much it is cut.
The only thing I've found that helps neurotics, barring open-air institutions and mild medicinal regimes (or that rare 1/20 who manages to externalise their neurosis so that they can visualise themselves fighting it and thereby gaining some control over the neurosis itself, proecting their fear and hate onto that within which makes the feel bad instead of onto the outside world) is physical trials they cannot escape from, and that's a form of therapy we no longer use due to concerns of ethics and integrity.
But in the case of the British leadership classes, physical trials is the ticket I feel. Can there be a new Cromwell in the making mayhaps?
Something is in the making. And if they continue as they are they will get their physical trials.
I think we have a lot of people in the elite groups and adjacent groups who are inevitably cut off from normal life. I think a lot is just that. So their anxiety and fear is constantly there due to distance from normal people.
If it's any consolation, ze Germans are even worse and more neurotic.
And at least in Britain, there is now a realistic chance for the necessary change and disruption in a few years, something the German establishment is hell-bent on and still in a strong position to prevent.
What makes you think Britain can change course in a few years? Do you mean Reform?
Yes. Not saying I trust it/them much to deliver once in power but at least, there could be a chance and a chance that they then try and deliver on some issues.
Their hope is their rank and file are not globalists. They are probably actual patriots. But Reform are in favour of immigration whereas the majority want it stopped, followed by mass deportations. They will never deliver on that given who funds them.
But yes, one option is they win a landslide then the globalists are ousted once they are in power. A Trojan Horse scenario.
