Everybody knows Mitt Romney invented Obamacare, right?
I seriously wish Smith and her followers would just move to the US already and quit blaming their mistakes on everyone and anything else. It seems they're quite willing to throw anyone with a functioning brain cell, plus be racist as duck, under the bus in their drive to implement their neoliberal, Christo-fascist agenda.

The Ugly Underside of Alberta Separatism | The Tyee
https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025/07/08/Ugly-Underside-Alberta-Separatism/
"Shifty is Curtis at his most atmospheric, even surrealist. Getting lost in his late-capitalist video collages can feel like a shot to the heart, which is one way of saying his work often resembles the wild detours of Guy Debord and his Dada forebears. While the occasional titles describe what is happening, they feel more like bookends than breadcrumbs.
(...)
His new five-part documentary is a kind of fairy-tale fever dream of capitalist realism, whose broad contours will be familiar to readers of Mark Fisher and Jacobin. The story begins with the earthquake of Thatcherism. We watch as the Iron Lady attempts to conjure national cohesion from a make-believe version of Britain’s imperial past, even as she elevates self-interest and private ambition to the level of civic virtue. What follows is a slow-motion fragmentation: scandals metastasize into generalized social paranoia, sensationalist media narratives erode institutional trust, and liberal elites, feeling betrayed by the newly Tory-voting working classes, retreat into the cultural capital of biennales, book prizes, and conceptual art. Industrial infrastructure is sold off for pennies on the pound as the government hands the reins of interest rates to unelected bankers. Unemployment, skinheads, check-cashing stores, and Netto discount supermarkets sprout like wild thyme across the English heather. Politicians end up believing the worst about themselves and begin abdicating responsibility. A cash-strapped Gordon Brown attempts early versions of public-private partnerships, indebting the government to private finance for the very services it had only just recently provided. In the background are the twin engines of finance and technology: unaccountable, placeless, and entirely prepared to occupy the vacuum left by political withdrawal."
I of course wasn't able to buy them. I would have liked to have had at least two in each color. They would have lasted me many years.
Now, this is a basic overall style, nothing unusual about it, so you would think that this would be a style they would just keep in production. Good, basic, perfect, classic style. No need to fix what ain't broke.
NOPE. Gone with the wind. Thanks, #neoliberalism.

Ruth Wilson Gilmore calls this UK policy "organised abandonment."
One of the many ways neoliberalism is the way to fascism.

#Neoliberalism not only demands #stupidity, it incentivizes people to be comfortable with #stupidity, so long as they are as equally stupid as most people.
This is partly why #AIslop "summaries" are so popular among committed #mediocre people.
The demands for relentless #productivity, the ever-present feelings of #FOMO, that are part and parcel of the relentless drive to #DivideAndConquer, encourage people to take shortcuts, so long as they feel confident "everyone else" is also doing so.
@ScienceScholar I have a revolutionary idea. Just hear me out: maybe you should just effing pay people for the work they do for you so that they don't have to beg for donations for themselves while generating a profit for you?

The #myth of the modern #market, backed by #neoliberalism’s #destruction of the #commons (#Dardot & #Laval), is just the latest outcome of millennia of #domination through #centralization, #specialization, and successive #proletarianizations (#Stiegler).
There's a very big difference between what "government efficiency" means to you, and what it means to a neoliberal.
To you, "efficiency" means something like when you show up in a hospital emergency room, you are seen by a doctor promptly, and they are properly equipped to treat you.
To a neoliberal, "efficiency" means the hospital has as few staff and resources as possible.
As a result, you are likely to be seen by a doctor less promptly, and they will be less well equipped to treat you.
But rich people will pay less tax.

“International Business Machines, and its president Thomas J. Watson, committed genocide by any standard. It was never about the antisemitism. It was never about the National Socialism. It was always about the money. Business was their middle name.”
