Maybe in the sense of broader political discussions, but the shift in historical academia towards the importance of narratives and not just facts was very much a reaction to the triumphalist 'end of history' mindset of the early 90s. I would also like to note that Chomsky is a linguist, and very much not a historian or anyone with influence on historical academia. despite his... prominent and questionable political following.

it's not even the shift towards narratives that is the issue with the reasoning of the guy I was responding to, but instead the conspiratorial framing
