So what's with the seemingly Neoliberal proclivity to dimuintize legitimate threats until the problem is overflowing.


Recommended Posts

I'm sure we're all aware of the all too ineffectual liberal tactic of correcting spelling as political praxis, but why is it that it's so peculiarly in the American discourse that the bourgeoisie  refuse to budge in deference to a system that only has consistently failed them domestically and abroad for so long? Not to make this a blanket statement, because there are large pockets of population where the threat of government is very real everyday *cough*. The local media at the least is not shy about showing SOME of the discord around the world, why is there a failure to find the reflection in the image? Is the reticence really just bread and circuses? Because that loaf is getting shorter and shorter no matter how stupid the circus gets.

You pretty much answered your own question: it genuinely is a tenet of American/Western neoliberalism to avoid "rocking the boat" for as long as possible lest doing so exacerbate the systemic cracks bring the whole rotten edifice tumbling down.

It’s not even a political thing, it’s more of a part of the human condition to try to diminish the bad and scary and procrastinate until there is no choice left but to take action.

Change and uncertainty is scarier than living in sub-optimal conditions. We've all chosen that at one point or another I wager.

I'd also add that its difficult to sell the public on long term goals and plans without an immediate benefit. So its win-win for politicians. They take the easy route, don't have to convince or rally the public to commit to long term and possibly painful measures without seeing benefit for possibly years or decades and they get money and support.

The cultural colonialism of the non-indigenous monarchists necessitates the oppression of the undervalued underclass.  This apartheid continuum necessitates the destruction of historically racist systems of injustice.  The only solution is to acknowledge the transmutation of indo-classical cultures into the context of Euro-centric climate abolitionists.

Neoliberalism is a center right ideology. Change my mind.
