Yea, it's Pleasantville all over again. I just thought we were over that, but ultraneoliberals have a way of fucking over people and making them lash out in predictable ways that sometimes they try to harness to impose their agenda. Then we fix it e.g. New Deal, WW2, EU...then we forget why we had those protections...liberalize everything again...and back to strongmen at the gates to save us from ourselves by enslaving us. It's like every hundred years we need a mass human sacrifice to appease the gods of chaos and relearn how to keep societies balanced.
