Neo-neoliberalism achieves ubiquity through replication rather than movement

Evidence

It commits, where it commits to anything at all, to remaking and replication as the locally Same, as the particular instantiation of the unchanging Universal and therefore recognizable. Its trick is to be anywhere by going nowhere. A culture of pure replicability via a culture of cloning. Stasis and boredom of the changing same racially indexed are undercut only by seeking extreme experiences, risking life and limb where professional and recreational interests meet. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1877
