The USA and UK are fighting for the survival of their common civilizational heritage. The USA has a longer period in which to effect a vital recovery, but that period is not indefinite. Even if the UK can make a success of Brexit and President Trump can get re-elected, there will be opposition to the reforms that are necessary to bring health back to our nations.
The Golden Rule, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matthew 7:12), is the basis for true social harmony. This basis is under attack. The extreme divisions in our societies are destroying common courtesy, empathy, and reciprocity. When the Left continually makes demands of conservatives, but offers nothing in return, it becomes clear that their aim is not to create a modus vivendi between two parts of society. Their aim is to grind down conservative opposition until it disappears through capitulation or destruction at the hands of the state.
The ultimate goal of this infernal warfare is the suppression and destruction of God’s covenant people, Israel and the Church. The UK and the USA have strong traditions of missionary work, laws framed by reference to Biblical principles, commitment to scientific excellence, and good old-fashioned horse sense.
Our shared Anglo-heritage, which extends to various peoples of the Commonwealth, is about more than material prosperity. Material prosperity is a product of old virtues that were forged by the peculiar conditions that prevailed in the United Kingdom (and the separate kingdoms before unification), and which, in the fullness of time, the British peoples brought to various colonies. A society that is materially prosperous without the strong underlying values necessary to produce it, is liable to find itself hollow and corrupt.
Today we find our societies split between those who know and love the old heritage – we might call them “true born sons” or “heirs of the patrimony” – and those who are “strangers” to the national heritage, whether they share its blood or not. This estrangement is the product of various processes: immigration, multiculturalism, educational decline, poor theology and exegesis, and foreign rule.
Such departure from our heritage has created open divisions in our society. It can be cured only by conversion to Christ. He is the only true source of unity in this world, because truth is a necessary condition of unity, and He is the Truth. Those who love the Truth, love Him; those who hate the Truth, hate Him.
The preservation of the Anglosphere heritage depends upon Christian revival. It is not enough to receive a competent description of the good aspects of our heritage. Nor is it enough to intellectually grasp the principles, origins, and application of those principles. One must give whole hearted approval and assent to them. That is an aesthetic judgment, not an epistemological one. Tasting of the good product of such principles is certainly part of converting to them. Indeed, the “red pill” movement and “walk away” movement show some aspects of such conversion. But the process comes to its summit in Christ, and it is through Christ that we gain a true love of the good aspects of other nations and cultures, such that our Anglo-heritage sits alongside them in harmony in true love and respect.
All Along the Watchtower 
I think something rather fundamental to the natural order has broken down: one could call this the breakdown of the 3 Act Play of growing up, of social maturity and even psychological health.
From growing up (childhood, manhood, old age) we have gone from nurturing, rebellion/antagonism (spreading our wings) and wisdom to perpetual nurturing, dislike of proving oneself and the ultimate gaining of new strength, skills and understanding.
Socially we have disrupted the social balance of learning compassion from nurturing, learning customary social skills from interaction, and the ability to reflect upon our lives and gain perspective, reason so that we might be the mentors for the next generation. We are stuck now in a social vacuum and we seen to stay there.
Psychologically we no longer are simply happy in childhood where life revolves around us, capable of handling antagonism and difficulties by seeking help from friends and mentors and then acting to teach others from our life experiences. Instead we are stuck in a narcissistic infancy of psychological development that is all about me and have no empathy for others.
Even our understanding of history is now affected: peace, conflict, resolution is being replaced by ideological utopias based on ether. Their is no true peace outside of Christ. Morality has changed from innocence, the fall and the return to a perpetual fall whilst calling it a ‘development’ and loss of guilt or any semblance of sorrow for that which they now consider normal. So the new paradigm is pretty much a world where we cannot possibly communicate Christian ideals with life itself for the average ‘educated’ Westerner who has been de-humanized by these movements in our modern cultures.
I have no answer to this sad state of affairs but have hope that God will raise up new heroes and tear down false ideals and ideologies. Hopefully, families will be restored, morality embraced, empathy will reawaken, challenges faced with friends and comrades of uncommon courage, and that the wisdom gained will be passed down to generations after them from the old and the wise. If not, then nothing short of the Second Coming of Christ will do.

A big problem, looking at it from an economic perspective, is the price of land, freehold and leasehold. People in my age bracket are struggling to start families because they are struggling to get the housing they need for those families. Marriage is a contract; you cannot force someone to marry you, so as various trends make the coming together of the two sexes in marriage harder, the solution becomes problematic. If you use force, then it is a contradiction and will not work, because marriage is voluntary by nature. With divorce becoming easy and courts not protecting the rights of husbands, keeping marriages together is also harder. Couples splitting and each having their own housing will also have an impact on the housing market, because houses are not being built to keep pace with demand, so lower-income singles will get squeezed. The whole thing is a dreadful mess.

And that pressure on housing/jobs/land etc. is not because of a burgeoning birth rate but by immigration or shall we call it invasion of your land? Without this outside growth the problems you mention simply don’t really exist.

And one of the really shocking things is that while you are completely correct in your diagnoses, and almost all of the physical problems Nicholas mentions here, the underlying cause is mass immigration, HMG and the media never, ever even mention that, even to the reports (which are likely poppycock) that there will be water shortages in a couple decades.
They are running straight into a wall at full speed while their ‘elites’ attempt to keep them blindfolded. I have long since surmised why, but it might be more effective if they figure it out for themselves.

I think that is probably unlikely as they all seem to have gone to the same schools as AOC. 🙂

you two idealists think we can hold hands and sing coumbiyah and make things better. the international bankers own everything and make us pay interest on our own money, the cause wars and make us get loans from them and pay interest on them. they keep us in poverty and that leads to misery and desperation and murder and theft, just to get food.
a friend was telling me about the super rich many yrs ago. i said to him…..why do they keep trying to get more money when they have enough for them and their generations far into the future. they cant possibly need more. what fun is it when you dont need it. he said that their fun is in dealing in mens souls.
you two good brothers say you know the bible….but you obviously dont believe one gat danged word of it. it says the earth will keep getting worster and men will keep becoming more vile, until jesus steps in himself to save the planet. you guys just dont get it.
having a form of godliness ,they deny the power there of.
