Neoliberal self-infantilization is real:
She’s 28, rich and successful in business. But her personal brand is that of a stupid little girl. Not because it’s attractive to anybody. But because a neoliberal self always infantilizes. A mature individual can’t pivot and transform every 15 minutes. Only childhood is malleable and adaptable. Neoliberals playact at childhood because they can’t market themselves otherwise. Adulthood gives them existential angst.
This is also why they are scared of having children. They want to be children, not take care of any. They are as attentive to their own feelings as mothers are to their babies’.
