Ethnographic, statistical analysis of #USA population extrapolated to university campus ethnographic composition if 75% of all Individuals with an #IQ ≥ 100 from each people-proup attended university, plus suggested education planning.
There is no shame in not attending #university. There is no #shame in working a trade or a regular job. Having a degree doesn't grant anybody inherent superiority over anybody else or bestow upon anybody a better mind than anybody else.

This post provides a brief introduction to the current form of #capitalism: #neoliberalism. It includes sections on: neoliberal #ideology; Governmentality – how neoliberalism governs, neoliberal government policies; how neoliberalism is a capitalist class project of domination; the history of neoliberalism in the twentieth century; and the three phase of neoliberalism in government since the 1980s.
Neoliberalism is a form of capitalism and #liberalism. Neoliberalism is the most aggressive form of liberalism ever formulated.
They achieve this by using the state and corporate power to make us act in that way, regardless of what most people want
it is important to differentiate between capitalism and neoliberalism because they are not the same thing – they are not the same KIND of thing. Capitalism is an #economic practice. Neoliberalism is a philosophy about how societies in which that practice prevails should be managed, and a programme which is at least nominally informed that #philosophy, or looks like it is
Indeed, neoliberal decision-makers function as expert designers of an attractive ideological container for their market-friendly political agenda.
#Meritocracy is a key feature of neoliberal ideology. This promotes a “hierarchical and highly unequal set of social relations while claiming to offer individuals from all backgrounds an equal chance to compete for elite status.
Rather than operating along more traditional lines of pursuing the public good (rather than profits) by enhancing civil society and social justice, neoliberals call for the employment of governmental technologies that are taken from the world of business and commerce
A key function of neoliberal ideology is to “secure consent and generate political inertia precisely by enabling the experience of #precarity and individualised impotence to be experienced as normal and inevitable.
The ‘New Right’ of Thatcher and Reagan in the US and UK implemented a basic neoliberal economic programme with a range of conservative social policies such as restoring traditional family values, increased military spending, a tough law and order agenda, and limiting multiculturalism.
Second-wave neoliberalism in the 1990s: Clinton’s and Blair’s Third Way
The Blair and Clinton governments in the 1990s took a more centrist approach, that included the majority of neoliberalism combined with socially progressive policies. The governments supported private-sector-led economic growth, combined with the government providing a consistent level of social services to citizens. They also promoted equality for gay people and supported women in the labour market
The third phase of neoliberalism began with bailing out the banks following the 2008 financial crisis. This was followed by austerity – massive cuts to public services. Inequality has increased, life expectancy has declined or stagnated, living standards have dropped. All this has polarised politics with the election of authoritarian, right-wing, isolationist politicians.
A quotation by Reeves, Richard V.
Imagine my horror at discovering that the United States is more calcified by class than Britain, especially toward the top. The big difference is that most of the people on the highest rung in America are in denial about their privilege. The American myth of meritocracy allows them to attribute their position to their brilliance and diligence, rather than to luck or a rigged system. At least posh people in England have the decency to feel guilty.
Richard V. Reeves (b. 1969) British historian, journalist, political theorist
