When I were young...

Why cannot Britain learn from American experience? When I were young - I were - America was 90% Caucasian and the envy of the world, a place with low crime rates, good schools, a decent popular culture, almost no recreational drug use, low rates of divorce, pornography had not become a wall-to-wall industry, adultery had not become a spectator sport, a land that enjoyed a general moral concensus, children were allowed to run about outdoors instead of feeding on news report concerning the new popularity of anal intercourse, etc., etc. A country with an economy, insead of an economy with an hollowed-out country chasing along behind. Today my country is a land of mutual strangers who don't like each other very much. The word "anomie" has been coined exactly in order to describe the attitudinal condition of today's North America. Morality? That's not hip. Imperialism is the temptation to glue together unlike peoples for the supposed benefits that are expected to result, never mind the psychological, spiritual, and cultural disorganization that is its real attested result. Today America is in process of setting up a fissiparous demographic that redounds to the benefit of the 1% and derogates everyone else. It is a lethal arrangement that promises to replicate the experience of Yugoslavia, of the multiracial empires of Britain (sorry), France, Austria-Hungary, Tsarist and Soviet Russia, Holland, Belgium, Imperial and Hitlerite Germany, Japan, Babylon, Assyria, Alexander, Persia, Athens, Rome (a polity that as it was crumbling offered citizenship to everyone), Hittite land, the Ottoman realm, Huns, Mongols, Napoleon, Hapsburgs, Prussia, and a few dozen other misadventures that necessarly collapsed in pools of blood and unhappiness.
