The Philosophy of South Park Season 19: Political Correctness and Neoliberalism

[Doctor Jack]

We hear a lot about "neoliberalism" on this board and I found an interesting video using South Park's most recent season to explain the philosophy behind neoliberalism.

1. Some very good points in there

Well worth the watch. I'm going to have to watch it again, as I couldn't absorb it all in one sitting. It went too fast.

2. I don't usually like spoilers but ... awesome!

One of my favorite shows of all time. I have 18 seasons under my belt.

I'm glad I watched this BEFORE Netflix acquires season 19.

Very clever commentary about neoliberalism. Although not mentioned by term, it explains what "incremental change" really is.

Thanks!

3. I always just assumed "neoliberalism" was more or less just another name for "libertarianism"

Just free market corporate takeover of the economy. That certainly is part of it but this video shows that I was missing a significant portion of what neoliberalism is all about. Its quite educational. I've been watching this youtube channel on and off for over a year now. They have some really good videos that are worth checking out.
