Something I have noticed in the current political climate is how casually commentators and pundits frame the current direction of travel as if it was logical, natural, and ineluctable for the world in the 21st century. Under their new narrative, it becomes self-evident that policies of "might is right" (power and strength over ethics as the ultimate arbiter of morality); "the ends justify the means" (utilitarianism over deontology); authoritarianism (executive supremacy over rule of law and checks & balances); jingoism (tribalism over good-faith diplomacy and value-driven alliances); and isolationism (transactional, bilateral deals over global collaboration and open trade) — are inevitable. 1/2

It's easy to fall back on fundamentalism in chaotic situations, because the belief system has a simple answer for everything
