We've been living with the "neoliberals" for at least 50 years. They've steadily accrued more power and control with each passing decade. They're basically white collar criminals: embezzlers and financial scammers, primarily, that run corporations and the government. It's really the "business plot" from the 1930s that's been institutionalized. Lots of people are involved and at least passively support the system, mainly from confusion about what it actually is.
Several "liberals" for example, support the system because it says it's about equality and helping gays and the environment, and poor people, etc... That rhetoric doesn't match the reality. The neoliberal system exploits workers in Asia or other countries around the world, and builds factories in regions with no environmental regulations, then ships manufactured goods to the United States and other western nations using the dirtiest, cheapest fuel available to power ships.
The "neoliberals" just tried to force everyone in the world to take a concoction with unknown long term side effects, and enacted a series of useless policies to attempt to control the spread of a disease. None of that worked. Not even a little bit. However, some corporations made record profits and revenues.
Finally, at long last, some people, most visibly the truckers in Canada, are standing up to this system, and many people are just leaving it behind as a mass of workers dropped out of the corporate workforce. All of this is a vote of no confidence in the dirtbag politicians who pretend to "govern" countries for "the people", when in reality they're bribed and blackmailed employees, and more importantly it's a vote of no confidence in the system itself.
All this has happened before in history--many times over--and the outcomes have varied. The attempt to petition and reform the government on behalf of the people in Canada will probably "fail", but then more people will understand that the corruption is wide and deep and irreversible and they'll have to move on from there. People in the USA are in the same boat. The "populist" movement of the past several years was mostly a fraud, that is, the official manifestation of it, the Trump presidency, was a 100% fraudulent entity, but the people's motives are true.
The populists seem to be the only people capable of learning and growth in conceptual understanding. Since they're trying to will a change into being they're forced into experimentation and learning. They tried "voting for an outsider", but got scammed. Quite a few of those people, judging by comments sections on YouTube and other web sites, realize Trump is a fraud. Now they're left to fed for themselves. They're really all in a new frontier and will have to come up with creative solutions for the government and corporate corruption.
The people who are stuck in the neoliberal system are going to stagnate and wither personally as the vampires on the top of the pile continue to drain them while they promise a utopia of equality and environmental grenliness.
