Who is the biggest enemy? China, Russia, America, the Uk, Israel, the EU, the UN?
No. I believe it to not entirely be external but often within our own. Let me show you some examples...

King James VI of Scotland became the first king of Great Britain (James I) in 1603 under the union of crowns. You would expect this to help Scotland in gaining power? No. By taking the Scottish King down to London, it was striping away what was left of Scotland.
Scotland has always been known for its Clans and it was King James VI who actively started the destruction and the domestication of the Highland Clans. No King before him dared although now he had the armies of England and Lowland Scotland at his side.
His first attempt at control was through using settlers from Fife in the Lowlands to spread into the Highlands and Islands. This migration plan did not work as many of the settlers were killed, kidnapped, or sent swimming back to Fife. How intolerant of these Highlanders, right?
He then started playing divide and rule amongst various clans by aiding corrupt clan leaders with his wealth in order to help them subdue enemy clans only to further consolidate his power.
Many clans, of course, rebelled against the King and government such as Clan MacGregor that killed 140 government troops who were from Clan Colquhoun. The King set out to abolish the Clan altogether entirely making sure the name MacGregor would never be heard again.
The biggest blow was probably in 1609 when 10 kidnapped Clan leaders were forced to sign an oath to the King that included sending their sons down to England or the Lowlands to be educated by the state in English.
"Give me a child until he is seven and I shall show you the man" The word "Clan" literally means "children" in Gaelic so with the next generation indoctrinated in the British ways by a traitorous Scottish King, his power was once again consolidated.
In the 1600s, a lot of mayhem occurred. Clans turned on each other like never before. 1692, Glencoe Massacre. 30 members of Clan Macdonald by fellow Scots who worked for the Government destroying one of the greatest clans in the whole of Scotland.
The main resistance found its footing in the Jacobite Risings of 1689, 1715, 1745 although none were fully successful. All of these rising relied on funding from external sources (Le French) who proved to be an unreliable ally.
Many attempts by many men were made to stop this modernisation and loss of Gaelic Scotland between 1602-1745 but ultimately, they lost and globalism triumphed. The Clan (tribe) system could not be tolerated by the Global-outlooking Britons.
The battle of Culloden 1745 is was the final blow. A big battle between the two forces. The year before, the Jacobites had gone down to York but now, they were on the retreat. They got slaughtered by the British guns on Culloden Muir.
After the battle, genocide occurred with the Highland Clearances taking the land away from the clans, migrating tens of thousands, banning the Gaelic language and culture, killing of all who resisted such measures.
“In the last 270 years, more than a quarter-million indigenous people were forced off their ancestral lands, burned out of their homes, sold into slavery, and forcibly assimilated into a foreign culture. Scottish Highlanders. Their crime: Occupying land that others coveted.
Thus, the story ends for now with the Highlanders defeated and forced to flee and adapt along with all the other "savages" in history. Even today, this oppression continues with Scotland having almost eradicated Gaelic and the Highlands now owned by foreign millionaires.
To conclude, it was Scotland who destroyed Scotland. It was the temptation for something more by King James that led to the demise of the local, tribal, and barbaric nature of Scotland that makes it special and unique.
The thing is, despite all this globalism. Scotland keeps reaching back to its roots in media and literature. I have no doubt that after SHTF, the Gaelic Highlander culture will be reborn albeit different.
Gaelic as it is today. Note most of the speakers are old. The only place with any substantial young speakers is in the Western Isles. Most of whom go off to the cities for work to never teach the language when they have children themselves.
