#neoliberalism — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #neoliberalism, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Quoting from Lindy Edwards’ *How to Argue with and Economist* (2nd Ed, 2007) again (pp8-9) — tell me that you can’t see #AlboPM #Labor Govt doing the exact same thing as the #Coalition did under #Howard. Go on, tell me… I’m all ears.

    “After four years in office the Coalition [the Howard govt] had reached the same conclusion Labor [the Keating govt] had reached six years before. Being a social progressive was identical to being a liberal conservative. Both amount to a commitment to free markets, with a caring eye to those suffereing through the transition. To the extent that there is any view of how to move forward, both parties had come to the same conclusion: that the policy elite in Canberra were right, and that the punters just didn’t understand. Both sides had concluded that the public were battered, bewildered and didn’t realise it was all for their own good. Both sides talked endlessly about needing to ‘explain’ things better to the electorate.”

    Go on, tell me it’s not all Libs-Labor conflation. Tell me this is not 2007. That we are indeed living through 2027. Go on…

Instead, they’ll enrich the authoritarian despots of Middle Eastern kingdoms, while also offering impunity for their crimes." breachmedia.ca/gulf-billionair

  11. The geopolitical agenda of the USA is to support dictatorships that provide security and access to their companies to do resource extraction without resistance from local populations.

    Instead of doing full colonialism like the British Empire did, USA does colonialism by proxy government; Independent in a legal sense, but not independent in a financial and military sense.

    I propose we call this Neoliberal Neocolonialism.

  21. “The RNLI [Royal National Lifeboat Institution]: people of courage and commitment to their neighbours, whoever they might be. This one’s personal”

    @thegreenparty

    “I am now shocked, appalled, and upset that racist thugs in this country are targeting RNLI lifeboat stations, other installations, but most especially crew members and other volunteers because they put themselves at risk to save the lives of those refugees who are forced, as a result of hopelessly inappropriate UK government policy, to take to small boats to cross the English Channel to exercise their right, established in international law, with the support of this country, to claim asylum in their country of choice”

  31. And this is apparently what passes for journalism today.

    No, the raging Zionist Robert Kraft who rounded up a posse of stadium owners to cancel Macklemore for supporting Gaza during his set is *NOT* doubling Macklemore’s $1M donation to Gaza.

    Ed both-sides-on-genocide Sheeran asked Kraft “to match a $2m (£1.5m) donation to ‘aid in the region’” (bbc.com/news/articles/cmp3073x)

    “The region” is weaselspeak for Israel.

    If he does anything, he’s going to give more money to Israel.

    That’s the story.
