In fact our culture celebrates this as something positive but to me it is extremely decadent because it creates a culture in which a person's worth is derived from their career and social status.

    Rugged individualism and capitalism are completely contrary to conservatism. All we Anglos can be conservative at is classism and hierachy. In every other respect we are hyper-liberal.

    Furthermore, our character is inherently anti-romantic and lacks sentimental feelings. We look down on emotions. How can a culture like ours produce romantic conservatism that is rooted to the traditions of one's ancestors and native soil? Germanics, Scandinavians, Slavs, Uralics, Finns and the peoples of Asia are much better examples for us to look to for how to be conservative.
    The Brexit seems to be a conservative move by the British silent Majority. The vote was actually not close at all. 52% to 48% in today's world is a land slide.

    That is the world we live in now as technology develops the smaller the world gets. Not to say I am for it as I'm more into community grass roots & preserving cultures than the wider world.

    Nations have only just begun to fight it in different ways and it will get more intense in the future, good or bad depending on peoples views.

    UK out of the EU or not wont be much different to globalisation, we will make trade deals.

    Anglo-Saxon is obsessed with making money and material wealth. Canada and New Zealand are more liberal, though.

    As for philosophy, I prefer continental philosophy, by far:

    -Anglo-Saxon philosophy is analytic philosophy, focusing on logic positivism, language structure, pure mathematics...How dull it is!
    -Continental philosophy is more fascinating: questioning epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, psychoanalysis, God, free will, determinism, arts, the world considered as a whole...
