An AMA in a sub called "neoliberal" is hardly an indicator.

An AMA in a sub called "neoliberal" is hardly an indicator.
- lhnz 9y agoParticipation by elites in a group that might at one point have had negative connotations is a sign of it being rehabilitated.
- aluhut 9y agoParticipation by elites in neoliberalism was the reason why the term has a negative connotation in the first place...
- lhnz 9y agoMy point is "they don't participate if it's inherently smearing". They are careful about their public selves. This means that they must believe it has become defendable.
- aluhut 9y agoI understood you very well. But maybe we are not talking about the same "elites" because I have no idea how you get the idea. They didn't care about the connotation back then. Why should the negativity of it be relevant today? I was thinking of financial elites btw.
