The natural order is in fact what we call "democracy". And to be clear, I do not believe as a species we have ever truly practiced it (in modern history) - not even here in the "land of the free". We've had some good moments, some believable tales, and certainly many people working to push back on the unnatural state of rule-by-force. Modern human history is pockmarked by societal collapse. This should be an ear-shattering alarm that no, we are not living according to any natural order. The reason authoritarianism as governance will forever fail to produce stability is that the authoritarian mindset is one of self, of ego - exclusively interested in winning the moment, not producing long-term solutions.
Rutger Bregman's book, "Human Kindness" is a great testimony to our true nature as a species.
For now, we live in a virtual world imposed upon us by those on high - a world in which our ugliest tendencies are fostered, to keep us apart and empower the few.
