Couldn't agree more, I'm starting to think an AI model trained on historical data woud classify this period as terminal, though I hope we're just hitting a rough patch.
I hope describing it in these terms doesn't sound condescending, but I am greatly pleased to see a critique of neoliberalism that is not necessarily anti-liberal or otherwise extremist. I care about liberal values and I see neoliberalism as an inadequate way to get them, something which just really wants to make some money and upholds those pieties as a mask.
And of course, a critique that is well written and eloquent. It was kind of funny to see a lot of thoughts I've mostly seen in the realm of social media takes, be collected and refined in one place.
I would say my main criticism so far is just on the side of redaction, there's a few mistakes I noticed throughout it.
"He claims this comes from wokeness being a non-liberal an ideology built" seems to at the very least be missing a few commas.
Fascinating piece! How are you so good at this?
(FYI: there appears to be an editing error, a paragraph ends abruptly with the sentence fragment 'Obviously worth pointing out that, if')

Hi Maia,
I understand that you are probably writing primarily for an audience of one; yourself :-)
However, in the interests of your knowledge and reaching a broader audience, I might suggest you break up your posts to short thought pieces.
In this instance, I had Claude help me with taking in all the ideas expressed in the article.
cheers,
Wim
