I've been asking myself this question a lot recently and I'm slowly coming to a realisation: it doesn't.
While many of you may disagree with the premise, to me we've become so civilised as a society that every subsequent generation is ever more demoralised, ever more relativist (affording preferential treatment to 'certain people' for ever more arbitrary reasons) and ever more apathetic, righteous and amoral.
Our entire society no longer orientates around what's right, but around shame and guilt - identity ('Scottish', 'black', 'Muslim', 'female', 'transsexual', etc.) is always prioritised ahead of principle and liberal ideals. No-one is an individual any more, everyone is a category; everyone is mobilised to act according to their perception of everyone else's collective identity; groups are pitted against other groups and all groups are pitted against the true enemy: white heterosexual males.
Our history books tell only one side of the story, a falsified narrative, that of British immorality, destruction and greed (while ignoring every instance of these same crimes by every nation-state on earth). The outcome is a nation-state which loathes its very being and seeks redemption in ever more extreme, narcissistic and pathologically altruistic forms.
Our society voted to permit a situation whereby, over the course of the next 100 years, thousands of competing identities - gender, religion, ethnicity, nationality and sexuality - will be exploited as proxies for class warfare. Our society voted for far-left extremism in the form of mass immigration. The point of no return has long since passed.
So, for those of us who can see it all coming a mile off, what is your solution? For me, it has become about one thing: watching as the greatest nation-state on earth gasps for its last breath under a tidal wave of subversive deconstruction, and revelling in the fact that my demise, and the demise of my country, will ensure the demise of those who manufactured this monstrous reality.
As Nick Cohen said: what's left?
