You need throne, altar and freehold to have an enduring reign. The very ideas of throne and freehold are anathema to progressive ideology so priestly academics invent theories of rule without those elements.https://twitter.com/ThreshedThought/status/1425199119929282560 …

This is very similar to how sociologists invented theories of crime that just so happened to imply programs that were favored by progressives - "the way to stop crime is addressing root causes". Post-conflict anthropologists did the same for conquest.

Their conclusion will be (similar to the sociologists') that their effort failed because it's impossible or because it wasn't done hard enough (didn't address root causes hard enough!).

The punchline for the joke that is sociology is that the older generation *knew* they were lying because they wanted high crime but once they won the newer generation didn't. The result is that they accidentally let the lie get exposed.

They let Guiliani and Bratton attempt to lower crime by arresting and prosecuting criminals because they were sure that it couldn't work - that wasn't addressing root causes. Turns out it did and they've been raging about it ever since.

The hope in this situation is they'll believe their own "conflict resolution" nonsense and allow something they would have snuffed out when they were only using it as kayfabe. Of course, they seem to never apply their "best practices" when it comes to their domestic opponents.
