perhaps a massive collapse is the only way to build something better/have a reset. the early 70s was, in some economic and political ways, just as bad if not worse than now. inflation and unemployment was mad in 70s britain. ira terrorism was intense as well.  the difference was that back in the 70s, despite the huge economic problems, england had soul. we had just come out of the 60s and england was producing some of the best rock music ever made. the beatles were loved around the world. england was becoming the and of rock and roll, weirdly. intense football hooliganism, intense machismo, nationalism, people really believed in the magic of the monarchy back then according to my parents.  england's problems today are not just economic. they are economic, demographic, cultural and spiritual. just fucked in all regards.
