#reagan — Public Fediverse posts

#Reagan and #Thatcher will be remembered for lighting the match that set fire to the powder trail leading to the barrel of black powder yet to explode, but they did not manufacture that match out of thin air. It was an organisation that produced the *RoadMap* for them both and self-interests did the rest.

“At his first cabinet meeting as president in 1981, Reagan distributed copies of Mandate for Leadership, whose 3,000 pages came out of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group in Washington, DC. This became the ideology of neoliberalism, which advocated a smaller state, industry deregulation, tax cuts, strengthened defence, and roll-back of social engineering. A year later, 60 per cent of the Mandate’s proposals had been adopted by the Reagan administration, and The New York Times called it ‘the manifesto of the Reagan revolution’. His initiative engaged Thatcher, and spread globally to dominate public policy in democracies around the world.”

The same **Heritage Foundation** is behind #tRump ‘s two terms as #POTUS. If you didn’t know before, it’s all about #NeoLiberalism a combination of #Libertarianism and #Neo-Classical #EconomicTheory sure to please the #Rich and #Entitled in any society.

Political differentiation is what’s needed in a political system where all parties (even the #Greens afaik) are content to work with the current #Economic system which is stuck in a 40 year old dogma; that markets know best (aka #NeoClassical or #NeoLiberal economic hogwash clearly debunked twice since the #Thatcher and #Reagan anathema on #WealthEquity , #SocialLicence and #SocialDemocracy).

Otherwise the electorate would wake up to the con job the polies perpetrate.

And 100% on #FirstNations and #TorresStraightIslanders, all players in the political arena have #Abandonned them as a result of #TheVoice debacle (thank you #Anthony for doing fuck all to make sure the referendum passed, it clearly showed whose side you’re on #AlboPM )

I’m fucking sick of all polies and their lies, redirections, misdirections and disinformation. I can see no way out of this except 1) a mother of all global financial crash, or 2) people’s revolutions worldwide, or 3) both. We’ve been taken for a ride for far too long IMO.

@yeoldepunk if you're really #punk you'd pee wherever you want regardless of what others do and think.
Like those #gooners jerking it at the #reagan memorial or in a #MOMA. those bathrooms are a work of #art themselves

Ellis gave us Reagan’s hollowed children. Welsh gave us Thatcher’s lost boys. The films gave us smoothies. Less Than Zero was gutted; Trainspotting was diluted. Junkies as simulacra, copies of copies, safe for consumption. Literature showed us rot; cinema pasteurised it.

This is what happened when Ronald Reagan shuttered mental health institutions and turned all the Republicans loose on the streets.

Rep. Mike Turner Is Very Concerned About A Mysterious 'Space Threat' https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a46802322/mike-turner-space-threat/

@DemLabs
Someone once asked me how the #GOP went from "The Party of #Reagan" who called #Russia "the Evil Empire" and praised his "defeat of #Communism"...

to: The #PartyOfPutin?

It's b/c admitting Russia/Putin is bad and an enemy of the U.S. is tantamount to admitting #Democrats were right about "Russian Interference" in the 2016 election. T**** repeatedly praises Putin, and they will NEVER say he is wrong for doing so. #TheOrangeMenace loves "Strongmen" & dictators, so now they do too.

Man, this is the second time in a short while I see #Reagan framed as an engineer of the German reunification. Sorry, but....no. The first to kind of kick-off that kind of liberalisation behind the Iron Curtain where Solidarnosc. Accompanied by the general idea of #Glasnost and #Perestroika in the USSR in the late 80s. Then the Hungarian border 'fell' and people in East Germany started to protest for reform. It kinda fell into the hands of the then-leaders of the West but it wasn't their doing.
