So… you were ‘genuinely’ interested, now you know what you can do. Was that so hard to come up with this yourself? Start thinking instead complaining and pushing youtube videos.

Despite your preference for violence; nonviolence works. Nonviolent movements attract more diverse support, including elites and security forces who may defect. Peaceful resistance undermines state claims that protesters are “violent extremists”. Violent repression often backfires, while nonviolence builds long-term networks for systemic change.

Example: In Bolivia, two decades of nonviolent resistance-including strikes, blockades, and marches-toppled six neoliberal governments and paved the way for Evo Morales’ anti-austerity reforms. Similar strategies have driven successes in Serbia, Sudan, and the global anti-apartheid movement. By combining disruption with institution-building, nonviolent movements can dismantle neoliberalism’s grip and replace it with systems centered on equity and collective well-being.

Exploiting contradictions within neoliberal frameworks: Litigation: Challenging trade agreements or privatization schemes in courts (e.g., using human rights law to contest austerity). Policy advocacy: Grassroots lobbying for laws that reverse deregulation and tax cuts for the wealthy.Whistleblowing: Exposing corporate or government corruption to erode public trust.

Neoliberalism operates globally, so resistance must too: Cross-border alliances: Linking movements (e.g., climate justice groups, labor unions) to amplify pressure. Sanctions campaigns: Pressuring governments and corporations via global consumer or investor activism. Counter-summit protests: Disrupting international financial institutions like the WTO or IMF.

Or create parallel systems that embody anti-neoliberal values: Solidarity networks: Mutual aid programs for housing, healthcare, and food distribution (e.g., Greece’s crisis-era solidarity clinics). Community land trusts: Removing land from speculative markets to ensure affordable housing. Open-source platforms: Developing free, decentralized alternatives to corporate tech monopolies.

Targeting neoliberal capitalism’s profit-driven core weakens its legitimacy. Boycotts; Collective refusal to engage with exploitative corporations or industries. Debt strikes; Refusing to pay unjust debts (e.g., student loans, predatory mortgages). Worker cooperatives; Building democratically run enterprises that prioritize people over profit.

Very American to immediately start ranting g about violence while nonviolent campaigns that mobilize large, diverse groups are statistically more effective than violent resistance.

Tactics include; general strikes: Coordinated work stoppages to paralyze economic activity (e.g., Bolivia’s 2003 gas wars, where unions and indigenous groups blocked roads and halted exports). Occupations and protests: Physically occupying symbolic spaces (e.g., public squares, corporate headquarters) to demand systemic change. Creative disobedience: Using art, music, or satire to subvert neoliberal narratives (e.g., the 2011 Barcelona protests where activists planted vegetables in public spaces to symbolize food sovereignty).

So… Neoliberalism is a deliberate political project, not just a label for inequality. Its policies were designed to empower the wealthy and corporations, weaken democracy, and make inequality structural and self-reinforcing. 🤭 much shorter and one doesnt have to watch a youtube video.

And action…

Where did I say I have a solution… I know at least one thing, and that is that blaming AI for this definitely wont solve anything.

Pinterest was already a sinkhole, best to be avoided. My problem is de statement that the OP made. AI isn’t the problem, its the people that think their rubbish is great and push it into our face so to speak. If someone builds a crappy shed, we can blame the hammer but in reality it is the self-appointed carpenter that created the mess.

…what you call neoliberalism is nothing more than deepening inequality, empowered the corporate interests and weakened democratic accountability …in other words, empowering the neo-nobles. Your country is an oligarchy with a temporary king every 4 years, coated with a thin veneer of democratic rituals.

It is obvious how meek the Americans are. Based on recents polls more than 40% still supports the antics of the current king and the other 60% doesn’t do anything significant to oppose the idiotic decrees. People are deported, mistreated, lose their jobs thrown into poverty total disrespect of their gender etc etc and even foreign travelers put into jail without any reason. Still… Mr. President is unchallenged despite all the lies of his office and even starts arresting judges (and threatening people that make polls).

Ah wel… the British have always been a bit particular to be honest.

Or the users that post the bs… I think that would clean up much more.
