Frances Fukuyama is a moron . . .

In case you don't recall who this guy is: in 1992 Dr. Fukuyama wrote a best selling “non fiction” book called “The End of History”, which promoted the liberal/democracy view that the world was only going to get better and better. And that the democratic west had achieved peaceful co-existence with the worlds totalitarian regimes. Regimes which weren't (in his view) all that totalitarian, and should be allowed to oppress their people without criticism, in the interest of preventing supply chain disruptions and unpleasant rhetoric.

Fukuyama is (naturally) a college professor (at Stanford University) and has been a valued “thought leader” for left wing think tanks for 30 years. He also earned a gazillion dollars from his ridiculous book, and it's sequel “House of the Dragon – why China will conquer Westeros”. (Ful disclosure - I made this part up)

Fukuyama is a moron. Stanford University is a pox on our educational system for promoting his ridiculous views, which ignore the actual arc of human history. The democrat party is an unindicted co-conspirator in the deaths of millions living under totalitarian regimes.

How do we know Fukuyama is a moron?

IRAN – Secret Police have killed over 100 demonstrators who were protesting the death of a 22 year old girl, beaten to death by “morality police” for an improperly worn head scarf. The Ayatollah has urged them to step up the pace, and preserve his regime. Breaking news: the Iranian government has promised to kidnap and torture the relatives of Irans World Cup soccer team if they sing their national anthem off key again before today's kickoff. (this is true)


CHINA – Millions have taken to the streets, demanding an end to the Xi regime after 3 years of incomprehensible and ineffective covid lockdowns. Last week dozens of people burned to death in locked down apartment building and couldn't be rescued from their fate. China has been forced to temporarily put its rhetoric promising the imminent invasion of Taiwan on hold, while it suppresses its own population.


RUSSIA – today is day 327 of the "Ukrainian “Liberation”, and day 320 of predictions that Putin will be removed in a coup. Several oligarch yachts, include the missile carrying one owned Putin himself, remain unaccounted for on the high seas. Or European ports.

So who actually still agrees with Fukuyama and the left? Apparently Budweiser, Coca Cola, Visa, McDonalds, and the FIFA organization itself, which is profiting from “oppression world cup” in Qatar. You can't even get into the stadium if you have rainbow colored armbands or look jewish. We havent had an international sports event this ridiculous since the 1936 hitler olympics in Germany. Hitler invade Poland 2 years later, proving that the end of history wasn't at hand then, either.

Also, apparently Tesla and Apple, which welcomed Chinese thugs and goons to quell factory protests by struggling workers tired of lockdowns and going unpaid.

Apparently President Biden AND “leading republicans” who both agree that NATO will take zero action to enforce a no fly zone over Ukranian air space, or protect civilians there from artillery, rockets, drones, kidnapping, rape . . Hey, Poland – er, I mean Ukraine – you're on your own. Good luck!

This is indeed a turning point in world history. And our political leaders and corporate America have taken an unambiguous stand on the wrong side. In the interest of short term profits and mid term election victories. Which is all that actually matters, right?

A pox on all your houses. May history judge you harshly for your immorality.

There's a huge amount to unpack in your post, so like a previous responder, I will only say that I agree with some of your points, not all.

But Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr has the bottom line here: The more things change the more they remain the same...

The world stays the same in absolute terms; in relative terms it can fluctuate. It's always "the best of times and the worst of times", as Dickens said.

The world is conflicted and contradictory... has always been so, will always be so. Now is no different.

So far as Fukuyama is concerned... there are lots of such speculators, none more or less correct than others. They ideate aloud and some of us are entertained by either refuting or agreeing with them.

It's difficult to call a moment in time a turning point in history when you are living through it... only hindsight can provide that clarity.
Is now a historical turning point? We may not know until we are past now.

@chilloutab2 in "absolute terms", the world is nothing like:

1. the middle ages
2. slave owning america
3. the roman empire
4. the chinese imperial era
5. subsistence agrarian societies
6. the displacement of indigenous peoples by the arrival of westerners in Australia, the USA, Canada, Mexico . .

@SusanInFlorida In absolute terms the world is still quite like all the eras you mentioned... just that the garb is different. The same underlying principles are playing out.

@chilloutab2 illiteracy, violence, religious superstitions rule our planet

@SusanInFlorida Totally agree... and they have done so for eons and will do so for a long while to come.
