Why should I accept one person's opinion that a theoretical "absolutely miserable" life in the US is worse than living in extreme poverty over, you know, actual data? We all have the agency to allocate our resources as we wish; not being in extreme poverty means that you have more resources to allocate to improving your condition.

Also, is neoliberalism about dividing people up by minority status and then ensuring diversity in our oppressorship? Or is it about reducing everyone to rational market actors and abstracting away everything else? I can't quite tell.

You can use lots of fancy thought-piece buzzwords but I don't see how it makes the content itself thought-provoking.
