It's really similar to what happened to northern europeans during the middle ages when Christianity obliterated their previous culture. Their history got replaced, essentially, by the bible history of one particular little tribe. People who had been naming their kids Ragnar and Aethelfred started naming them "John", "Luke" and "Matthew".
Over the past 100 years or so, people in the US became "consumers" and "fans" and "employees". They lost any internal guidance system.
The system that they were engineered to serve is falling apart and is actually going to fail like the USSR did--possibly this year!
The most important thing of rebuilding is to rebase the culture on something durable and get people attached to it, e.g. the natural order of things. Stop living in the delusional fantasy worlds spun by oligarch minions. Everything else will sort of take care of itself.
