Is there any good philosophical literature on the neoliberal phenomenon?
Specifically I’m talking about how neolibs spend their whole day on their iphones bitching about POC rights and starbucks microagressions while Jeff Bezos works his employees like literal slaves and makes them wear bands on their wrists that shock them if they stop working for too long.
I'm more of a traditional leftist myself but going to university makes me want to kill myself. I have never been surrounded by so many delusional, brainwashed retards. I cannot fucking wait to just graduate and go to medical school.

you don't know what neoliberalism means.
Caleb Williams
this. Not what neoliberalism is.
Andrew Hughes
what do you two clowns think neoliberalism is? don't leave us hanging

Austin Reyes
Maybe that's why you should recommend a book on it.
Ian Stewart
Where did you get this bands on the wrist idea? Specifically where can I buy them for my employees. Hmm, probably on Amazon. Ok what is the product name?
Colton Cooper
I'm not them, but neoliberalism is an economic concept - basically free, global markets for everything. You should replace it with "modern leftist" phenomenon or "21st century millennialism."
Colton Wright
The term you're looking for is "petite-bourgeoise"
Ryan Nelson
"Managerial class, idpol, and the rearranging of the chairs on the Titanic."
Dylan Hernandez
Is there any philosophical literature on people who spend all their free time thinking about and posting online about liberal strawpeople?
Ian Morris
most important question in this thread
Ryan Rivera
Perhaps the OP wanted to know "I want literature about this specific, directly correlated to neoliberalism, social phenomenon known as millennial engagement".
For all intents and purposes, I'd say Mark Fisher is a good start (he's also figuring right on the first page of Yea Forums as I write this post so yeah).
Austin Jones
This. It's an important trend I'm currently studying.
James Nelson
I would recommend, for a specifically philosophical look at neoliberalism, some of the recent books by Wendy Brown. She's trying to work out how the Foucauldian view, of logical and discursive structures as the driving force of society, can be applied to the market rationale of late-stage capitalism. Especially good if you're interested in consumerism or higher education.

How it started in the american culture that economical liberalism somehow relate to leftism is absolutely beyond my comprehension, I guess this country is just very confused when it comes to define socialism, being the result of decades of right wing propaganda as the rest of the world know.
That graph is absolutely stupid because all of those countries are a lot smaller than the United States. It's easier to fund healthcare when you have a small population and don't have a massive military eating up a large percentage of the budget, which, by the way, protects the countries that do have universal healthcare.
