      The “End of History”thesis remains pathologically misunderstood but I still think Fukuyama underestimated just how combustible the boredom and the decadence would become @ThePlumLineGS https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/03/14/putin-could-lose-ukraine-fukuyama-optimistic/ …pic.twitter.com/6e2hkq9YIN

      I don't think it's boredom that drives anti-system politics.

          Well, my set-up to this was going in a different direction. I wanted to say that the outpouring of support for Ukraine across the West shows the positive side of this -- people are stepping up to stand tall on one side of a great struggle:pic.twitter.com/vB7bzbYstY

          I think there's a lot to this. Boredom might not be the exact word, but I think it's a mix of boredom and a void or absence. Trumpism is laced with contradictions and inconsistencies, and I think that's because more than coherent ideology its draw is a reaction against this void

          i.e. it has a frisson that pulls people in. Modern life feels somewhat empty and somewhat hopeless. There's no specific "thing" they want to happen, they just want *something* to happen - and I think that's a reaction against this boredom.

          economic anxiety etc. Both parties have abandoned the working class except for demagoguing about the culture war.

          Liberalism has also clearly failed on multiple levels

          The outright refusal of the elite class to grapple with liberalism's many, many, many failures since 2000 is preventing the changes that could actually save liberalism. And Fukuyama talking about "the spirit of '89" is clearly deeply disconnected from reality.
