If there are any legitimate future historians, all 20th/21st C conflicts will be viewed as a game of thrones between oligarchs, their cronies, and their religions — no different to the monarchs that came before.
Our entire justice system, and all International law, is written by those who control capital, and they are free to break and rewrite is as they see fit. There is nothing stopping them from condemning genocide while committing genocide, nor from telling you that their genocide is actually the epitome of freedom™️ and justice™️. Our “democracies” will be viewed as Capitalist oligarchies that are, functionally, dictatorships — you can vote, but there is a statistical certainty that almost every choice on the ballot is determined by political “donations” (e.g. those who hold the most capital), and anyone who doesn’t maintain the status quo is weeded out before they become a significant threat.

That last bit neatly illustrates why it was that, in the face of the utter failure of both of the establishment hacks who were set to get the nominations in 2016, and the support in both parties for populists, the GOP went along with their populist while the DNC sabotaged theirs.
The GOP accurately saw Trump as an entirely unprincipled and wholly narcissistic idiot who could be manipulated into serving their interests, while the DNC equally accurately saw Sanders as a man of principles and determination who could not be manipulated into serving theirs.
