After all it was moderns who came up with the notion of "The End of History" which basically asserts that history is a short of liner progression towards some end point where some Utopian global liberal democracy ideal is the permanent state of affairs of 'humanity' dispute current events disproving this claim such as the decline of the American superpower, the decline of the EU, Brexit, and the election of Donald Trump and several other 'radical' right wing governments. The only people preaching some permanent state of affairs are liberals. modernist More typical liberal projection on Woody Allens part. Modernity is the illusion of progress.
