hm... ok, yeah, to me Fukuyama is still synonymous with EoH and I haven't read Origins of Political Order (aha, 2011 -- that'd be why) so I'll concede it's entirely possible you're right and I'm wrong on this, full stop
The problem is that poli. sci. mostly offers such analytical insights in hindsight. To spot these things with foresight, situational observation helps more than reading ancient texts. You don't need Plato or Hobbes if you actually paid attention to who is attending Jihadi meetups

alas getting close enough (philosophically, politically, geographically, demographically, culturally, any or all of the above) to a jihadi meetup to have any opportunity to notice who's attending them isn't strictly required for a job making western policy either, which is stupid
