this is a much more accurate assessment of the overall situation we are moving through, from the cognitive problems that the leadership of the country are collectively performing before our collective eyes, but which passes without being named by a media apparatus locked inside the same problem (compounded by the need to maintain a certain ideological continuity with the obsolete mode of thinking that is neoliberalism, if only to avoid questions of "if this is as stupid an ideology as is now apparent, how exactly did it become the lingua franca for relaying infotainment?).....the persistence of a highly skewed model of wealth distribution in a context of arbitrary regulation that would have been unthinkable without neoliberalism as a figleaf....a problem of growing public anger, which threatens all of the existing arrangement if it becomes focused at any point (an eventuality that the press has every interest in preventing, as it owes its advertising revenue to the existing order and so by definition affirms whatever the existing order is, even as it functions as "loyal opposition" within it)....
there are serious problems to be addressed, but neoliberals cannot even begin to do it, and the residuum of 35 years of neoliberal hegemony is such that incoherence caused by it dances all of us toward the edge...
