The text shows several flaws and I do not have time to go into each of them. What strikes me most is the assumption that there is a Neo-liberalist deep state using this crisis for their purposes. Neo-liberalism does not need a crisis, nor is neo-liberalism an actor. In fact, quite the opposite is the case Neo-liberalism is a economic structure that may bring a flourishing market for the few, if not under crisis. This may work differently for the current tech-giants (amazon, google...) but still this crisis has a overwhelmingy bad impact on most sectors. However, Western governments in particular have framed their policies around economic growth not only since Thatcher and Reagan. Bigger airports, more industrial globalisation and so on, you name it. The way neo-liberal governments respond to this crisis must be criticised for instance how the Dutch government addresses homelessness, low payments for healthworkers, bailouts of companies. If you want you can write a whole paper on how capitalism fails to be a sufficient system when it comes to any crisis.
Playing down the dangers of the pandemic, ignoring the overfilled hospitals is a sign of not standing in solidarity. Further, assuming that there is an elite who allegedly planned this crisis is an inherently antisemitic conspiracy approach to the crisis.
Let's fight neoliberalism but please not with some weird conspiracy bullshit. Let's rather fight the fascist tendencies of the Anti-lockdown protesters in NL.
Sorry but NO to this one
