When Sir John Glubb wrote his seminal work The Fate of Empires in 1978, he found himself astonished by the extent of the parallels between the winter of Greek, Roman and Islamic civilization and what was happening before his very eyes in the West of the time: lack of traditional religiosity, pseudo-religious cults, the waning of aristocratic rule, the collapse of sexual taboos, the liberation of females from patriarchal constraints, tolerance and even acceptance of homosexuality, the collapse of martial values, the failure of the higher classes to have children, and tolerance of mass immigration. However, one area that he didn’t explore was the percentage of the populace that were allowed to be idle; to be parasitic off of the state. Recently reported UK data has given us a shocking insight into this completely unsustainable situation; a situation which will bankrupt the country and lead to social chaos when the country can no longer afford it.
