Neoliberalism greatly expanded the dominance of market forces through deregulation, privatization, and regressive forms of taxation, while significantly reducing the state’s role in the economy through cuts to labor, welfare, and social protections.
Behind these economic reforms sat a new idea of what constitutes a good and free society—a concept about what direction we should all be striving in to become the best versions of ourselves. In the new neoliberal era, then, success would be reframed as a product of having exceptional individual qualities (rather than exceptional social privileges and advantages), while failure would be rooted in some kind of personal deficit (rather than in lack of opportunity, equality, or social support).
The government also wants to ban “puffs”, single-use disposable e-cigarettes that Rousseau said were popular among young people, but which had a heavy impact on health and the environment.
As it always been. The democrats are right-wing in Europe and the republicans are more on the right.
In Europe, you can't dissociate the economic agenda of a party. The right is pro-capitalist and neoliberalism. The center too. The left is different. They are for a regulate capitalism and the more on the left, the heaviest on regulations.
Things we knew were coming and the sole reason the government didn't do anything was because of the neoliberal idea that the market will solve all problems through the magic of capitalism. This has been true for the past 3 decennia now.
Emojis were a thing when people were chatting on MSN Messenger, ICQ, etc. Then people became older and it was seen as a young thing. This is why people were "against" it on Reddit.
