Same as what happened to the Viking’s fighting spirit in Scandinavian countries of Europe. The older ones died off and the newer ones were strongly discouraged from ‘acting out’. Some would say America has gone through a similar
dilution of vigor since WW2.
I also blame affluenza, like in other Western nations, for the malaise.
And I believe the British enemedia deserve blame, too: too many World War Two stories, not enough articles about demographics and the fall of nations.
The horrible dumpster fire of WW 2 still attracts the attention of so many people- distracting them from the problems of today, which are, quite possibly, just as detrimental to Britain.
I call those anti German/mainland Europe baiters on some British forums „the wumao of Britain‘s Deep State“. I can’t directly prove that they exist, but sometimes it really looks like they do 🙁 exist indeed.
Maybe the British deep state indeed pays them fifty pence for each of their viperous posts to foment hatred and discord as a red herring. Just as their Chinese counterparts are said to get paid wu mao (five dimes) from the coffers of Beijing per post in social media…
