Into the neoliberal darkness
We are seeing the dying days of the USAmerican empire. But don’t blame Trump… or those who voted for him. They are the natural end-point of neoliberalism which could have and should have been seen and warded off decades ago. But everyone went along with Gordon Gecko: “Greed is good.” Au contraire, greed is death. We are staring it in the face.
Countries like Australia should cut the apron strings while we’ve got a chance. But given the state of the politicians of our two major parties, our chances of going down with the US ship are high. Proof? The idiocy of AUKUS joins nature’s retribution for lack of action on climate change at the apex of a mountain of reasons.
Dark days ahead, folks.
