I have been reading the entire pdf of the report and I have the idea that "the west" is not just in a decline, but rather some sort of global levelling out is taking place. My question remains wether this will end up good or bad for us, because I have never lived under anything authoritarian or hybrid for that matter. And not planning on it, also. Looking at my country (Belgium), you'd say it is in steep decline, but my view is blurred by sentiment. I love living here, but I hate voting here: poor pool of choices and a very elitist hierarchy are the main causes for that.
