    Jeet Heer Retweeted Francis Fukuyama

    "The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition,...the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, & idealism, will be replaced by... the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands." -- Francis Fukuyama, 1989.https://twitter.com/FukuyamaFrancis/status/1284169194565562369 …

        “Experience suggests that if men cannot struggle on behalf of a just cause because that just cause was victorious in an earlier generation, then they will struggle against the just cause. They will struggle for the sake of struggle.” /1

        “... And if the greater part of the world in which they live is characterized by peaceful and prosperous liberal democracy, then they will struggle against that peace and prosperity, and against democracy.” -Fukuyama, 1990

        broadly do you think meaningful political change is possible in the world now? it seemed like there was a moment in march/april where the imagination opened back up again, but i don't see any of that anymore

        I'd call what has happened to Syria, or authoritarianism in Russia, Venezuela, Brazil, etc, meaningful political change.

        I read his book when I was very young. Maybe still a teenager. I thought he was so clever. I believed his thesis for years. Rarely has anyone been so mistaken about anything.

        "It may be that the Iraqi government provided assistance in some form to the recent attack on the United States. But even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack...any strategy...must include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein..." --Fukuyama, et al, 2001
