Zerohedge publicerade nyligen en intressant, längre artikel om den brittiska, imperialistiska politiken och hur man efter andra världskriget försökt applicera den i det mångkulturella och mångetniska Storbritannien - och lyfter fram de tecken som tyder på att systemet nu håller på att falla samman:

Den som har följt den brittiska, politiska scenen har väl inte undgått att lägga märke till en stigande rastlöshet hos den brittiska befolkningen, med uppkomsten av exempelvis Reform UK, Restore UK och nu senast Patriot Platform. Tommy Robinson - uppbackad av Elon Musk - ska antagligen kastas i fängelse.
Med detta i åtanke: är mer turbulens att vänta?

Citat:
The methods by which empires maintain their authority can ultimately become the instruments of their destruction. Differential treatment, communal patronage and government through favored intermediaries or settler populations can preserve order for a time without securing the political allegiance upon which lasting authority depends. As resentment of unequal treatment and political subordination grows, opposition ceases to seek merely a better bargain within the existing system and begins to demand an end to the system itself. The history of 20th-century decolonization is, in large part, the history of populations rejecting the legitimacy of rulers who claimed to govern on their behalf.
Citat:
Britain's governing establishment is reproducing this predicament at home. A population that regards its demographic composition and national inheritance as having been transformed without its consent, its interests subordinated to competing communal claims and its objections dismissed as morally suspect can come to regard the state as an authority imposed upon it rather than an expression of its collective will. The language of citizenship may remain, but the relationship begins to resemble that between imperial administrators and disaffected subjects. The grievance then extends beyond particular government policies to the more fundamental question of who possesses the authority to determine the country's future.
Citat:
Political estrangement carries the seeds of violent conflict. Revolutions, insurrections, insurgencies and civil wars arise when conflicts over political authority can no longer be contained within the existing governing order. Democratic institutions provide an alternative so long as electoral competition offers a credible means of changing the policies and governing arrangements that have alienated the electorate. When substantial sections of the population lose confidence in those mechanisms, particularly where demographic transformation and competing communal claims have weakened the state's credibility as an impartial arbiter, opposition can, and almost certainly will, shift from contesting government policy to challenging the legitimacy of the governing order itself. Under such conditions, political estrangement will develop into organized resistance and violent confrontation.
