The western order of liberal democracy is dying. Former colonies that simply adopted their colonial rulers’ democratic systems are now slowly but surely building systems that are more in line with native ideologies. Many of these ideologies are regressive and illiberal. That isn’t to say that they are wrong to do so - a people should have the right to build a nation as per their values. But it does mean that a lot of values borrowed from liberal democracy - freedom, equality, rule of law, tolerance, etc. - will die out. Majoritarianism in many of these countries will give way to authoritarianism. And that’s usually the road leading to strife, war, and persecution of minorities.
