Neoliberal capitalism - imposed by Reagan, Clinton, Thatcher, Blair, etc - really has fucked us up for generations.
I’d argue that those leaders, and their plutocrat puppet-masters, are possibly more responsible for damaging the planet/humanity than any other leader in history.
The mass privatization putting us all under the thumb of a handful of super rich exploiters; the destruction of the very notion of society, community, solidarity, democracy; of the idea that we can work together for the common good.
Human nature is to cooperate, but this system encourages and requires us to do the opposite!
Environmental devastation, war, terrorism, refugee crises, poverty, homelessness, one billion undernourished, addiction and mental health crises, mass surveillance, declining life expectancy...
None of this is normal!
It is thanks to a system that empowers an elite few to monopolise the world and exploit everyone and everything!
