News from the UK is troubling...and intriguing. What would be the best resource to understand how the UK seems to be being sucked into the event horizon of an socio-economic blackhole of institutional collapse?

I liked the following article on the UK's terminal decline. > There exist what I call the ‘forever problems,’ policy challenges that Britain has faced for decades, known about for decades, debated and deliberated over for decades and yet the raging, fiery injustice that these challenges promote lingers and festers.

Umair Haque writes a lot about the UK. In intricate detail. Pretty gruesome. https://medium.com/eudaimonia-co/welcome-to-dickensian-britain-97bf9e7fe93a https://medium.com/eudaimonia-co/welcome-to-dickensian-brita... https://eand.co/brexits-three-years-old-how-s-it-going-catastrophic-is-an-understatement-22736f3f1db7 https://eand.co/brexits-three-years-old-how-s-it-going-catas... https://eand.co/britain-has-officially-lost-its-mind-5c218510b11f https://eand.co/britain-has-officially-lost-its-mind-5c21851... There are many other articles regarding the UK and what went wrong in his publication. https://eand.co/ https://eand.co/

  Thank you! Hyperbolic writing style but well sourced and very interesting. Seems grim indeed.

    Umair's writing turned more hyperbolic in proportion to the increase in the objectively observable delirium in the US and the UK. When you read his stuff, you'll see that all of his hyperbole is backed by actual, grim events. The events in the US and the UK - especially the latter - are so out of whack that how people can rationalize them and live with them boggles the mind if you are not familiar with the matter. One major fault of Umair is that he thinks that the US and the UK and its Western European satellites are 'the world' or 'the civilization'. Hence he agitates about 'the civilization collapsing'. He misses the fact that its not the civilization collapsing - its the randian Angloamerican countries who handed over everything to private profiteers...
