Neoliberalism isn’t everything I don’t like, but it is a big one.

Just like MAGA and their fear of woke.

Is it, though?

They’re both made up to make a group of gullible people hate another group so yes.

Neoliberal isn’t made up. It was explicitly created by people like Milton Friedman, and came to prominence as a dominant political theory with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, and taking over the center-left and center-right to become dominant across the global north.

Do you ever worry that you might be an idiot?

I don’t think you really understand what “woke” is. Being woke is about critical analysis of traditional, established power hierarchies. Hierarchies like white supremacy, patriarchy or class. Maybe some neoliberals, to their credit, want to abolish traditional racial and gender hierarchies, and that’s good, but they certainly do not want to abolish the hierarchy of rich over poor, or capital over labor.
