    Democracy, rule of law…none of these are the norm in human history, they are not even intuitive concepts. It takes effort to keep alive against human and historical forces that keep pulling us back into becoming authoritarian shitholes. The great delusion is that since Fukuyama many thought liberal democracy was the inevitable final state whatever stupid shit we do with it…it’s not.
