As if the modern world of "liberal democracy" isn't just as authoritarian in its own way.

Who actually has power in any modern "democracy"? Not the people, that's for sure. The average citizen, even the citizenry has a whole, is at the mercy of unelected and unaccountable forces over which he has no say and in which he has no voice. Power in the West doesn't reside with "the people," it resides with the military and the intelligence agencies, and the unelected economic groups and compacts that run global finance.

Over and against that, give me a king any day. At least then the government is being honest about me having no say in it. I prefer honesty to dishonesty.

You refuse to take a sufficiently long view of history. America's actions over two and a half centuries all add up when you view them as a whole.

>JFK was president

And they fucking killed him. And now they have Biden, who's an even worse Catholic than Kennedy was, and is a drooling, senile old puppet anyway.

I forgot to mention that the CIA seems to have made efforts to infiltrate the clergy and the hierarchy after World War II, and may be responsible for some of the most egregious abuses of the "Spirit of Vatican II."

Deep history proves that Fukuyama was wrong from the start.

>muh triumph of liberal democracy

The United States is ruled by its praetorian guard of the Deep State. They killed Kennedy, they forced Nixon out of office, they are the power behind the throne and they can make and unmake any "elected" official that they want. This isn't democracy. The United States hasn't been a democracy since Eisenhower called out the military industrial complex.

It's enough to make you wonder if Fukuyama's own book isn't a form of propaganda and conditioning. Somebody go check his early life, does he have any ties with the glowies?
