Talking ourselves into inequality: the new fuel ads, the NDIS and “social cohesion” show how neoliberalism has colonised our tongues

  1. This one is a doozy.

    Who knew neoliberals were colonising tongues?

    This one is quite something :

    “The television spot and associated materials urge Australians to “drive smoothly”, remove excess weight from their cars, consolidate errands, and “only fill up with the fuel you need”. All that, along with the slogan, “Every little bit helps”, frames the problem as one of aggregated personal behaviour rather than of supply chains, energy systems or corporate profiteering.”

    Encouraging people to save petrol while supplies are tight is apparently dreadful.
