Neoliberalism has always been more than an economic project; it is a political and educational weapon designed to erode social solidarity and dismantle the foundations of democracy. It does not merely defund public institutions like healthcare,
The article "Trump's Reign of Cruelty" from CounterPunch, published on February 17, 2025, discusses the perceived harsh and punitive policies and behaviors of former President Donald Trump during his time in office. It highlights how Trump's administration was marked by a series of actions that many viewed as cruel, including the separation of migrant families at the border, the rollback of environmental protections, and the aggressive stance against political opponents and the media. The piece argues that these actions were not just policy decisions but part of a broader pattern of behavior characterized by a lack of empathy, a disregard for human rights, and an embrace of authoritarian tactics. The author critiques the lasting impact of these policies on American society, suggesting that Trump's approach has normalized cruelty in political discourse and governance, leaving a legacy that continues to influence American politics and policy-making even after his presidency.
