    A significant number of neoliberals (including H.M. Hillary Clinton) are for things like universal health care or (Yang) even UBI

    Neither of whom are in any danger of accomplishing their goals, both of which are designed to address the horrific situations that neoliberals have brought us.

    Were you proud of the GFC? Are you proud to eat Nestlé chocolate? Were you proud when that train derailed in East Palestine? Are you proud when oil company talking points show up on social media?

    Neoliberalism is been responsible for the wealth inequality, environmental degradation and political extremism that’s currently tearing societies apart.

    I have no idea why you’d be proud of it unless you’re one of the ones pocketing the obscene profits at others expense.

      “Everything I don’t like is neoliberal and the more I don’t like it, the more neoliberaler it is”

        Sounds like if it ever delivered on its pseudo-scientific promises, you’d hate it too.
