Remembering that time leading millennial neoliberal pundits argued for a neoliberal revival that could deliver order, development and shared GDP growth, but never bothered assessing why neoliberalism became associated with the opposite (laissez-faire, arm-shrugging negligence; moral sanction of disorder and cultural chaos; passive acceptance of irrational "apocalypse" big-narratives) in the first place.
i didnt like how during the previous social media regime you couldnt say "wuhan" or "bruce jenner" or "hunter biden" without having your digital tongue cut out
for the dim: because the OP map shows a theme with overlapping ranges. its "solution" (solid colors randomly assigned to different overlap combos) is inherently confusing
I am begging map-poasters on this site to look up what an "overlapping range" map is. Stop posting infographical slop
When the anglosphere left romanticizes Parisian intellectual/literati culture, the implicit setting is never depressing concrete bug hive like quoted post; rather, the setting is always Haussmann's Paris of boulevards, cafe culture, bourgeois Second Empire or Art Nouveau design
More people may live in a single concrete apartment building like the one below than on the entire Île Saint-Louis or Île de la Cité. ChatGPT: "Roughly 9 million people live in the continuously built-up suburbs of Paris, compared with 2.1 million in Paris proper and only a few hundred thousand in the affluent historic center. In other words, the Paris of the Louvre, elegant boulevards, expensive apartments, and tourist postcards represents a surprisingly small fraction of the population of metropolitan Paris."
