Post Liberal Era

The world of politics is an obvious, ever-changing place of ideological beliefs. We've seen throughout history how the first ever concepts of what later influenced our modern day ideas have flourished in their past, to be now a relic, a historical achievement for mankind. And now we're seeing this change. Since the COVID pandemic and the subsequent catalyst of events during 2021 and 2022, we have seen the ideas of liberalism fade into obscurity, with many liberal parties struggling to even see the voters voting for them on the ballots. Look at some examples.

- The FDP, collapsing into an ex-parliamentary party, a former shadow of its legacy
- Emmanuel Macron, president, yet with a ticking bomb right in front of him as the far-right and the far-left grow ever more popular
- The Democratic Party, now faded from the American eyes, as Trump sweeps the media

As we see it right now, we can assure that we are entering an epoch of "post-ideological realism", or as I call it, the Post-Liberal Era. This "post-liberal era" is an emphasis on how globalism can affect every single country and every person on Earth. We can see this with Donald Trump's Liberation Day tariffs towards all countries in the world, with sixty of them receiving tariffs higher than 10%, which plunged the economic market into a crisis as Wall Street lost five trillion dollars and caused America to further damage its reputation and further shift public opinion towards China. With such a radical rise, we are now seeing more authoritarian actions being taken place, a further rise in neo-nationalism and anti-globalist theory, thanks to how acts like this can plunge millions, if not billions, into chaos. What liberalism fails at is this: liberalism is a globalist idea. It can only work if the people are willing to accept this economic globalisation, the now neo-nationalist, authoritarianism and revived populist idea calls are for further economic autarky and isolation and for the people's interest to sweep across this new era, not the self-interest of the government. People are now seeing the negatives of neoliberal capitalism, and the rise of left-wing and right-wing nationalist-populist parties is evidence of this, evidence that we're heading towards a Post-Liberal and Post-Globalist era of politics.

Don't be shocked if authoritarians, nationalists and state despotism rise. This is only the beginning of the catalyst collapse liberalism has been avoiding for centuries.
