"What shocks me about neoliberalism is how utterly unapologetic it is about the misery it produces."

78. What To Do?

These are great thoughts by great thinkers and thinking, critical thinking is the key. Most people just accept way too much at face value. Like there is no historical evidence that even the government can lie, manipulate, and stonewall.

The republicans are the worst but neoliberals are not terribly altruistic either. Like the legions of Obama apologists. They equal the Dubya apologists. Both can rationalize about anything. You bring up the TPP to them and most don't even know what that is.

At this moment I don't see a good way out from this conundrum with the two morally bankrupt national parties having an electoral virtual monopoly. We elected a democrat in 2008 who talked a good game but before too long you knew it was in large part another bait and switch.

I fear we'll have to hit the skid pretty hard and then rev up something bigger than the civil rights marches to get any chance of real change.
