The documentary was not broadcast in #Canada. Hansen said the reason B.C.’s wood pellet industry is a focus in #UnitedKingdom is the #Drax Power Station in #England.
#Protests & citizens' #dissent does work to increase pressure on government - on rare occasions, changes happen fairly quickly.
Since this sign was made - Selina Robinson resigned & Randall Garrison isn't running again👍
Always a red flag when #liberals & #neoliberals talk about #Palestine but only speak about #Netanyahu - “we need to get rid of Netanyahu!” Babe we need to get rid of far more than that. I’m not going from #colonialism bold to colonialism lite
#Neoliberalism#ThirdWay#Neoliberals#Politics#Clinton#Blair: "The reason I think the distinction between calling someone a neoliberal versus talking about neoliberalized politics is important is because I think if we want to explain it, if we understand why it happened, then we can’t just substitute a label for the complexity of the actual politics underlying it, including the complexity of the perspectives of the people we’re talking about.
In other words, I think it’s perfectly fair to call Reagan and Thatcher neoliberal politicians for good historical reasons. But I don’t think that the same rationale holds for figures like Blair and Clinton. And to me, if we want to understand this historically in a way that might help us move things forward, then we need to address the explanatory question. We need to acknowledge the differences and we need to understand this disjuncture between what leading figures associated with the Third Way said about themselves and what they actually did. We need to understand how it made sense to them, in other words, that they could say — as far as I or anyone else as an outsider knows, with sincerity — that you could be a social democrat or a Labour politician, or Clinton would kind of move in between calling himself “liberal” and “progressive,” and also adopt pro-market policies that clearly didn’t work in the interest of many of their traditional constituencies. Even if they said they did, and still understand themselves to be doing something consistent, coherent."
The difference between a conservative and a neoliberal is that the conservative screws you over with a “fuck you” while the neoliberal does so with a “please and thank you.”
