Thus the self-delusion caused by longing for national greatness becomes poisonous

Boris Johnson His former supporters turned against him after his popularity began to decline and accused him of leaving British Prime Minister for setting up a shift without thinking about the facts and what the public service has to offer. However, no one can pretend that this behavior was previously unknown in British public life – he begins his article, which treats the Prime Minister without wearing a glove. Bloomberg Pankaj Mishra, Indian writer, in his opinion column.

Johnson’s journalistic career has been plagued by fake news and fantasy quotes, as well as a racist, was characterized by mockery of Islam, while the news about his private life was that he was ready to use his official power on occasions to serve the needs of his girlfriends. In politics, he was raised on a wave of false illusions brought about by Brexit, which were accompanied by various scandals during his tenure as prime minister. All this suggests that the outgoing British Prime Minister is a real scammer.

How can this happen?

Many people in the world are amazed at his success: they ask how he could win parliamentary elections by such a large margin in the world’s oldest democracy. In a country famous for its outspoken journalism, which once revealed everything, how could the electorate become an admirer of the rightly ten thousand rogue people? According to the writer of the Bloomberg article, the answer can be found in the culture of the imperial elite, a kind of social disease that plagues the British. The country’s political and media elite, in the absence of empire, repeatedly perform empty charades of long-held power and influence.

The original incarnation of overpraise was – in the words of writer Cyril Connolly living in eternal adolescence – the private school pupil was the imperial ruler. This representative of the British Empire, who grew up in the courts of the famous Eton private school, often could not show any abilities other than that he was convinced that he was called to lead an important region of the world. His arrogance and incompetence radiated emotional gloom, and his inability to empathize and understand others outside his circle.

The United kingdom At the same time, in its fragmented class society, the imperial nobility had become the ideal for the majority, and an aristocrat was a prerequisite for a person to become one of the country’s elite. Unwavering self-confidence and self-awareness, a willingness to give them a voice all the time – these have become essential traits of ‘Britishness’, even as the empire on which it was built has receded in the past.

Expensive private schools teach young people how to succeed by pretending to be their lives. The inevitable problem is that the empire no longer exists, and because of its lack of power, wealth, and prestige that it brought with it, the United Kingdom has fallen into the trap of pretending. The country’s leadership desperately repeats such illusions as, for example, the meaningless realization of global Britain, which is possible thanks to Brexit, or that the Ukrainians can take back Crimea from the Russians with the help of the West.

Toxic imperial behavior

The Bloomberg columnist believes Johnson’s attempt to restore public confidence – with false promises of Brexit – will accelerate national decline. He could bring upon the British the suffering that the leaders of the British Empire, using their hands, used to bring the peoples of the oppressed countries. We can only hope that the outgoing prime minister is the latest representative of the apathy reminiscent of the imperial era, which the British elite was able to tolerate occasionally, but whose time has long since passed and is now toxic.
