There’s a nonzero chance the liberal order will collapse and in no small part because young people hate it so much

It has been a victim of its own success; because it beat out the alternatives it is no longer possible meaningfully to internalize what was wrong with the alternatives, which now benefit from the idealization that comes with ignorance

#it does not need to be said that there will never be a moment in which anyone regrets its passing #it will die unmourned #but if things like the middle ages absolute monarchy fascism and communism can be woobified #maybe someday people will look back on it fondly #lonely at the top! nowhere to go but down etc.
