[quote=Anonymous]Life is brutal in most places. The more dangerous a situation, the more conservatives tend to dominate. Liberalism in the West is a luxury afforded to us by the economic growth and opportunities of the last century. This growth reinforced the rule of law and allowed liberal values to survive, and then become dominant. Whether we can keep it going or not, is one of the most interesting questions I ask my students. Whether we have reached peak complexity and are beginning a terminal decline or not, will probably determine the answer. There are no atheists in foxholes, as they say, and there are far fewer liberals in a post-collapse society.[/quote]
