Infantile Lottery Sterilization

Nah Sparhafoc, I am using the modern American brand of neoliberalism, rather than the classical one.

What does this mean?

What's the classical one?

And what's your 'nah' meant to dispute exactly?

What you described is classical neoliberalism .. you know, pre Reagan and Thatcher.
What you got today is the shitshow George Mobiot describes in this article:

Neoliberalism – the ideology at the root of all our problems

Financial meltdown, environmental disaster and even the rise of Donald Trump – neoliberalism has played its part in them all. Why has the left failed to come up with an alternative?

And yes, he is biased, he is a communist.

An interesting opinion piece

We Owe It to the World's Children to Slow Population Growth

Crowding the planet harms younger generations as much as it does the environment.

Classical neoliberalism? Pre-Thatcher/Reagan classical neoliberalism?

If you don't know what the words mean; don't feel pressured to pretend otherwise.

An interesting opinion piece

Interesting in that it starts by talking about having a conversation with inanimate objects and animals that can't reply?

Does the world need more people? Not if you ask the glaciers, the rain forests, the air, or the more than 37,400 species on the verge of extinction thanks to the relentless expansion of human beings into every corner and cranny of our overheated planet.

Glaciers were a hard no, but the air was more circumspect and asked for time to consider.

Glaciers have softened on that since.

Kindest regards,

Probably after the air blustered a bit - you know how pushy it can be.
