The corruption of all major British Institutions, their subversion and inversion into a focus on anti-Christian, materialist Leftist goals (perfectly explicit nowadays, as the only truthful element in generally-dishonest in mission statements) has gone along with a gross institutional bloating - seldom mentioned. Everything is much bigger than in the past - by several-fold.
Three things:
!. The creation of a single, linked bureaucracy, encompassing all institutions. In other words, totalitarianism: the pervasion of all of life, all of the time, by officialdom.
2. Alignment of this bureaucracy to New Leftism: Institutions in pursuit of a (designedly) incoherent oppositional state of permanent revolution (e.g. the ever-expanding, ever-mutating sexual revolution); based on a metaphysics of spiritual denial and materialism, and an ethic of this worldly hedonism/ elimination of suffering.
3. Enlargement of all human units in this linked, evil-motivated bureaucracy and isolation of the individual. Individual judgement replaced by committee - eliminating judgement; morality replaced by voting - eliminating morality; the pursuit of beauty replaced by legalism; truthfulness replaced by obedience...
Because virtue and values are individual, or they are nothing.
(This bureaucratic micro-management just-is totalitarianism - that is, the only end-point is total control of human motivation, behaviour and thinking.)
In sum, destruction of the human in the entirety of public discourse - the only current alleviation being in an instinct-driven world of private, mostly sexual, hedonism.
The family is, of course, prime target; but so are all professions, guilds, unions, workplaces, voluntary organisations, informal groupings. Anything small is crushed by regulations and anything inner-motivated is coshed by enforcements of 'social justice' (every club, activity, family must comply with the latest New Left revolutionary project - must become an agent of positive propaganda for that project).
And the whole thing, the whole process is invisible - because for modern Man there is no underlying reality; hence no meaning (everything is 'random' - despite that in the real world nothing is random), no intention, no authority or validity (only raw power) - most of all no purpose around which it might be possible to understand and aim.
Institutional bloating is the consequence - for all units it is a case of conform and grow - or die.
Grow and conform - or die. Leveraged and leveraged - not for the sake of efficiency, but to enable inefficiency. Not for the sake of effectiveness - but to ensure ineffectiveness. Not so that the institutions become more powerful but to ensure that they have no power except that which is allocated from above.
As a sop and a distraction, we have a mass media dedicated to promoting the value of 'friends' - as a replacement for the destruction of families, and institutions, and a sense of place... on the understanding that modern friendship is merely mutual-exploitation; so that when when reality bites, when the chips are down, when we are weak and isolated... friends melt-away and we recognise we are on-our-own against the international bureaucracy.
One against everybody and everything...
Of course, in context of a proper, real, deep, eternal understanding of the nature of reality - this is a fair fight; indeed a fight of one against The System is a fight that the individual will certainly win.
Which is why it is vital to the System that individuals do not know reality - that reality is ruled-out by assumption; thus immune to all possible experience.
