【C1】 The battle that will decide the future of the English is going on all round us. At this time of writing, we in England are in the middle of it. I must add that while Englishness can still fight on, Admass (that is, a system of commercial marketing that attempts to influence great masses of consumers by mass-media advertising) could be winning. There are various reasons why this may be happening. 【C2】 To begin with, not all the English hold fast to Englishness. 【C3】 Some important and influential men carefully train themselves out of it—politicians, academics, bureaucrats, ambitious financiers and industrialists, can be found among these men—and a horde of others, shallow and foolish, wander away from it, shrugging off their inheritance. Englishness is not as strong as it was even thirty years ago. 【C4】 It needs to be nourished by a sense of the dignity and possible destiny of mankind. It must have some moral capital to draw upon, and soon it may be asking for an overdraft. The Zeitgeist (namely, the spirit or thought of the time) seems to be working for Admass. 【C5】 So does most of what we read and what we hear. Even our inflation, which keeps everybody nudging everybody for more money, is often seen not as a warning, not as an enemy of the genuine good life, but as a proof that we need more and not less Admass.
