    How many Europeans are willing to die for Ukraine? For the current
    world order?

    The "Free World", which really means the "Rules Based Order" of our technocrats, has lost. The know it too.

    Post WWII Managerialism is over.

    I'd say that 'managerialism' was probably the best
    track following WW2. Chaos needed to be replaced
    with predictable order. The more bureaucratic BS
    the better ... queue-up the peasants, make it
    all 'normal'.

    However such 'order' may not be 'inspired', not
    a means and end and solution unto itself long term.

    And wasn't.

    In the late 60s and early 70s the big 'fear' was
    corporate dictatorship - a more aggressive species
    of managerialism. "RollerBall" was about that.
    However that didn't really pan out as expected,
    the corps spent too much time fighting each other
    and making bad biz decisions so no 'world order'
    could emerge.

    Trying to manage humans is like trying to herd cats.
    Don't think there IS any one approach/method that
    works especially well or 'forever'. So ... it's
    always just a series of kludges. Keep most of the
    people mostly in line most of the time. When that
    blows up, it's on to the next kludge.
