suppression of free speech and intolerance Занятное http://www.salon.com/2016/06/06/this_is_our_neoliberal_nightmare_hillary_clinton_donald_trump_and_why_the_market_and_the_wealthy_win_every_time/ про новый формат неолиберального консенсуса, представленный Хиллари. Типа, мультикультурализм и феминизм и SJW как фундамент для корпоративного государства и всевластия крупного капитала. При этом основной враг для "мультикультурных неолибералов" это свой же собственный белый андеркласс (аватаром которого является Трамп) и пауперы, которых они преимущественно уничтожают, давая разнообразные преимущества мультикультурным.
Очень убедительно, хоть и Салон (который сам типа SJW нумеро уно).
Есть вообще изрядное количество американцев, которые поддерживали Сандерса, а за отсутствием Сандерса поддерживают Трампа. Типа, оба за бедных, за рабочий класс. Есть основания к тому, хотя в университетах их и нет, по крайней мере я не слышал ни про одного любителя Трампа (я про математиков, физиков и типа). This is the dark side of neoliberalism's ideological arm (a multiculturalism founded on human beings as capital), which is why this project has become increasingly associated with suppression of free speech and intolerance of those who refuse to go along with the kind of identity politics neoliberalism promotes.
And this explains why the 1990s saw the simultaneous and absolutely parallel rise, under the Clintons, of both neoliberal globalization and various regimes of neoliberal disciplining, such as the shaming and exclusion of former welfare recipients (every able-bodied person should be able to find work, therefore under TANF welfare was converted to a performance management system designed to enroll everyone in the workforce, even if it meant below-subsistence wages or the loss of parental responsibilities, all of it couched in the jargon of marketplace incentives).
The actual cost to the state of the AFDC program was minimal, but its symbolism was incalculable. The end of welfare went hand in hand with the disciplinary "crime bill" pushed by the Clintons, leading to an epidemic of mass incarceration. Neoliberalism, unlike classical liberalism, does not permit a fluidity of self-expression as an occasional participant in the market, and posits prison as the only available alternative for anyone not willing to conceive of themselves as being present fully and always in the market.
I believe that the generation of people-in their forties or older-supporting Hillary have already internalized neoliberal subjectivity, which they like to frame as realism or pragmatism, refusing for instance to accept that free college or health care are even theoretical possibilities. After all, they have maintained a measure of success in the past three or four decades after conceptualizing themselves as marketplace agents. Just as the Tea Party supporters found it intolerable that government should help irresponsible homeowners by bailing them out of unsustainable debt, the Clinton supporters hold essentially the same set of beliefs toward those who dare to think of themselves outside the discipline of the market.
Все так, да.
