The longer the pandemic persists, the more likely that we have a hard right pendulum swing politically. Liberal philosophical memetics (and I mean this in the broadest sense, to include classical liberalism) are not well equipped to deal with concrete external threats. The virus is a concrete external threat. The geopolitical and economic order that will emerge the longer this lasts is going to reveal a multiplicity of concrete threats and is going to deal harshly with the liberal/left world view in ways the liberal/left world view cannot even fully comprehend because their views are so baked into/emerge from the current system.
