15) the 70s on stagflation & oil prices, & instead a response to the civil rights movement. White supremacist US, obsessed with wealth & power, wouldn't tolerate any concept of a "we," if the "we" included non-white straight men. Distract the masses from systemic failures by blaming individuals.

14) governance while reclaiming a sense of collective responsibility.

It is an invitation back into community, interdependence, & the difficult but necessary work of systemic transformation.

I maintain that the shift to neoliberalism is less about the failures of Keynesian economics, blamed in

13) & overly responsible for social outcomes they did not create. The challenge is to accept personal responsibility within institutional structures & recognize ourselves as implicated subjects in ongoing structures of caste, racial capitalism, patriarchy, heteronormativity & neoliberal

12) woven into histories, economies, & cultural formations that exceed our intentions yet depend on our everyday actions & inactions.

Racial & neoliberal hyperindividualism (as well as individualism of gender, sexuality, etc), obscure systemic forces while producing subjects who feel both isolated

11) participate in, benefit from, or are shaped by large-scale systems of inequality.

In a society that prefers to assign blame to individuals—“bad apples,” insufficient effort, poor choices—the notion of implication reintroduces relationality & interdependence. It acknowledges that we are

10) misrecognized as the aggregate results of individual choices, rather than as expressions of historically sedimented structures.

Michael Rothberg’s concept of the implicated subject moves us beyond the binary of victim & perpetrator, toward a more capacious understanding of how ordinary people

9) scaffolding of racial hierarchy is not maintained merely by overt prejudice; it persists through deeply embedded social scripts & institutionalized rankings that operate regardless of individual intention. Yet within a hyperindividualistic frame, the endurance of caste-like hierarchies is

8) hyperindividualism. America was reluctantly willing to take care of broader society, provided that only included straight white men

The psychic outcome was a pervasive isolation that functions not only interpersonally but politically & morally.

7) homophobia, classism, all became solely personally-mediated forces, divorced from institutional & systemic forces. This shift occurred concurrent to major civil rights advancements in the US. As marginalized voices gained rights & voice, a focus on the social good was replaced with

6) of the person from culture. Community values which were anchored in collective struggle, shared vulnerability & a sense of interdependent fate, eroded under the weight of hyperindividualism. The individual was wholly responsibly for their successes, but also for their failures. Racism, misogyny,

5) rationality, responsibility, morality, & even suffering are privatized: one’s failures are personal, one’s successes self-authored & structural forces fade into the background as if they were merely excuses.

This was an ideological realignment which created conditions for a profound delinking

4) science, Cold War anti-radicalism, & the political attractiveness of individual-based remedies. It also aligned conveniently with the emergent logics of neoliberalism, which would later intensify the notion that individuals, not systems, are the fundamental units of social life.

3) accounts rooted in power, economics, & institutional arrangements ceded ground to what she calls racial individualism-a framework that locates racism primarily in the prejudiced attitudes or discriminatory actions of individuals. This shift occurred alongside the rise of behavioral social
