I need to relisten to like six Chapo episodes to find where one of them mentioned the quote (paraphrasing) "The ideology of neoliberalism is one where there are many victims and no perpetrators" in the sense that people suffering is treated in all cases like a natural disaster, with total blindness to the idea that systems might be built for the outcome that they consistently produce, decade after decade, for the majority of people the impact.
That’s perfect. If you can find the original please give me a ping.
A friend of mine (this one a Marxist) had their teaching hours unexpectedly and catastrophically cut right before the beginning of the semester. When they ranted to their graduate advisor, the one who was supposed to advocate for them at faculty meetings or whathaveyou, he replied, entirely unironically, and as if it excused his failure, by saying “Well, Hannah Arendt said that in a bureaucracy, no individual is to blame . . .” For some reason that didn’t help with rent.
God I want that on a tee shirt or something
Maybe not literally, its just such a good quote
Seems a little clunky to me. What makes you say it would work?
