The fall of Britain was at least partially caused by their elite’s expertise in brainwashing and propagandizing their own people.

It is both sad and frightening to watch the old pictures of young British lads smiling and frolicking—so proud of themselves—as they marched off to fight in World War I.

They had no idea what they were about to face....

.Gov is not your friend.

WWI hastened the fall, but remember that by 1910

1. The USA was already on track to replace Britain as #2 economy
2. Germany had replaced Britain as #1 economy
3. The Brits had set themselves up as a “moral force” and that they were “civilizing the world” — so they were in a twist when British forces committed massacres such as in the Boer war (first concentration camps) or the Jallianwalla Bagh massacre (when Gen Dwyer fired on civilians)

IF WWI had not happened, the UK would still be where it was in the 1960s — the colonies were going to go away.
