same energy as those "you think [obviously good thing] is good but actually [neoliberal misery] is good" articles.

we crunched the numbers and actually workers should suffer. in this complex age of science and industry, the simple moral intuitions of the uneducated often lead them astray. good thing well-meaning nerds are here to explain why the quarantine needs to end, or why universal healthcare sounds good but it would be a mistake, or why we need to invade some country to save them. resist the urge to get annoyed when the nerds start congratulating themselves for their objectivity and rationalism, or when they start whipping out journo words no one else uses like brouhaha and imbroglio. it only looks like they're seeking the same approval from fellow neolibs that they used to seek from their fawning parents and teachers when they were well-off kids in the suburbs.
