Noam Chomsky - he's off a lot, but when he's on, he's great at analyzing why bad things are happening with war, economic exploitation, etc.
Roger Scruton - Bases his conservatism on aesthetic values, understanding that it's harder to build something beautiful than it is to destroy it. That's why it's important to maintain traditional values
Peter Singer - Probably the best living ecological ethicist
Naomi Wolf - This one's testy, but she's a liberal feminist who pushes for equality, individual dignity, writes about how to make social movements effective. Pushes for egalitarianism, rejecting radfems
Cal Newport - neuroscientist who explains from a cognitive/scientific basis how to be effective
First, I need to know what you mean by neoliberal.
If by neoliberalism you mean global free markets, people go in because of profits. They want to make money and be on the winning end, and worry if they don't become a neoliberal businessman, someone else will just take their place. Better to benefit from the system than get run over by it trying to stand in its way. They ignore that it's literally destroying the planet, and humanity with it.
However, a lot of people misuse the term to mean mainstream liberalism. The problem with mainstream liberalism is that they're useful idiots and apologists of the elites, and they facilitate social decay by promoting, or being "cool with" destructive behaviors like drug abuse, abusive relationships/sexuality, etc. You don't have to be a fucking fascist to oppose that. Just figure out what your values are, and then become a strong conservative, individualist, green, socialist, anarchist/unionist, pragmatist, or whatever. Hell, if you realize you really are a weak centre-leftist, you can advocate for that as a strong social democrat. Becoming a fascist just means giving up complete power to another corrupt elite.
