Good morning.

The Dutch police is now reporting parents who take their children to #climateCrisis demonstrations for child abuse.

It’s okay, just like all the overt racism, because we have cycle lanes. 👯‍♀️ 👯 👯‍♂️

#neoliberalism #theWorstIsYetToCome

Spent part of my day today reading articles on “innovation labs“ in journalism. Perspectives vary—from the point of view of media sociology, I would like to see more deconstruction of the concept of #innovation in #journalism research and a greater awareness that “agile methods“ are not necessarily “good“, but also have something to do with #neoliberalism and the #individualization of responsibility (and failure). Criticize the #lab discourse and think differently about #pioneerjournalism…

It was destroyed by #DisasterCapitalism and #Neoliberalism

50 years ago today the first democratically elected #Marxist's #cybernetic #socialism was nipped in the bud by a #CIA-backed #fascist #coup and replaced by the first ever implementation of #neoliberalism.

Maar de achterlijke #neoliberalism lijstjes met aantallen zijn hier de boosdoener, samen met de oneindige financiering die meekomt vanuit het buitenland

#Chile #Allende #SantiagoSchool #ChicagoSchool #Neoliberalism #Socialism: "The Santiago School owes its existence to the fact that the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (Cepal) is headquartered in the Chilean capital. For the first few decades after its launch in 1948, this institution challenged the mainstream account of free trade – and technology’s role in it – which has been espoused by economists in Chicago and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Imagine a richer country selling cars to a poorer one, which, in turn, reciprocates with bananas. As the two specialise and introduce technological innovations, prices of both commodities fall. Everyone is happy; progress marches ahead.

The Cepal economists disagreed with this rosy prediction, arguing that, over time, the developed countries tend to come out stronger from such trades. First, technological innovation benefits the car manufacturers more than it helps the banana growers; you can’t 3D-print tropical fruit. Second, rich countries that typically produce more advanced goods also have powerful trade unions, who, in defending the interests of their workers, also prevent the prices of cars from adjusting as swiftly as those of bananas."

Excellent little summary of the #Musk #Starlink issue here. #neoliberalism #PrivatisationOfPublicInfrastructure „My point is to illustrate the fact that it’s not just that Elon Musk sucks, which he does. The whole situation sucks. You simply can’t have critical national security infrastructure in the hands of a Twitter troll who’s a soft touch for whichever foreign autocrat blows some smoke up his behind. But that’s what we have here.“ #RussiasWarOfAggression #Ukraine

@DavidPetraitis @thepoliticalcat @Dogzilla @glynmoody @DrALJONES Of course welfare is not endless and #neoliberalism has swept Europe from Reagan and Thatcher to all countries. The #pvda was swept away because as leftists they embraced #neoliberalism.
We now have many fascist parties because of what #neoliberalism has destroyed #imho

@GerdjanKipping Expert zijn in de wereld belazeren kan rekenen op groot respect in #neoliberalism #vvd landje

@craiggrannell @gavinsmith @jbond

My take was that it was driven by a simplified notion of what #neoliberalism was, identifying the EU as a neoliberal project & thinking that leaving the EU would strike a blow against neoliberalism...

This of course failed to appreciate that one of the main drivers towards the EU's partial neoliberalism was the UK itself, and if you took the UK out of the EU, the brakes would come off domestic neoliberal tendencies (which I prefer to term #rentiercapitalism)

Wow, the UK really is falling apart. This is the result of pro-business #Tory policies, deregulation, etc and putting profits over customers.
