Miskagyny must be stopped. The saxism is disgusting.

2. Rather, many said that they were afraid of a right-wing takeover, or were "defending democracy," or protesting against a "judicial coup."

1. I stopped by anti-impeachment / "anti-coup" protests in SP today. A large number I spoke to stressed they *don't* defend Dilma or the PT

and of course either they're absolutely drunk on ideology or they're just being disingenuous, but neither possibility reassures me

these technocrat neoliberals frame these exploitative constructs as "natural" and inevitable, where any resistance is therefore unnatural

what that does is, first, it obfuscates the ways in which the moneyed protect thr assets, & second, makes this all seem natural & reasonable

and, somehow, the (highly limited) agency of the consumer or what's best/most practical for the world market r what create these realities

liberal pubs that are ostensibly sympathetic to working class always manage to find an economist/econ prof blaming "consumer" and "markets"

if an oligopoly is moving jobs/capital around to lower costs, say, or actively seeking to curb worker rights or limit available alternatives

liberal pubs r good at finding economists who r great at blaming "consumers", say, but never talk abt how flows of capital constrain agency

This, historically, is what liberals are there for. To "agree" w/ leftist ends but have "concerns", "doubts", and gaslight feasibility.

ICYMI: there's a cottage industry of neoliberals whose job is to look pro-min wage but concern troll abt #FightFor15 being too much too fast
