The Neo-Liberal dogma that attempts to shroud us from the realities of the world is on display in not one, but two cartoons for your edification.
Ah, here we see Neo-Liberalism invade our thinking. The thoroughly naive notion that we are all equal in society and if we just acted “nicer” (by ignoring systemic inequalities society) things would be peachy-freakn’-awesome. In dogmatic Neo-Liberal thought we are just individuals making choices – no class, no sex, no position in society. The structural factors of society are simply ignored.
Boom! Class analysis based in a grounded historical perspective. Radical Feminist/Political theory appreciates this notion and uses it in analyzing our society. On the contrary our choosy-choice 3rd wave Liberal Feminists/Liberals almost always overlook the insidious nature of the neo-liberal agenda and its toxic effects to community and people. Choices are never made in a vacuum.
Now you know.
Well, it is nice to know I have a little job security. :)
Us humans seem to have trouble keeping the big picture in focus while we faff about feeling important about ourselves. Mother Nature just doesn’t have time for us or our problems. It is nice to be reminded of that periodically.
I’m a big fan of the German word – whenever I pick up tools, verschlimmbessern is often the result. :>
