Poor? Your own fault! Sick? Your own fault! Overwhelmed as a mother? Your own fault! In a neoliberal society, the individual is the sole architect of his own happiness and therefore also of his own unhappiness. That is the basic thesis of the new book "It's your own fault!". Material for a controversial get-together! Topics in this episode: 00:00 Is individual guilt the flip side of modern personal responsibility? 9:26 Was Operation Libero co-president Sanjia Ameti "to blame" for her shitstorm? 15:39 Is the performance principle a necessary fiction? 33:41 How responsible are people for their own health? 43:58 Is there systemic guilt in the climate crisis? No matter how adverse the conditions are, in a neoliberal society each and every individual is held fully responsible for a successful life, for social advancement, for health and satisfaction. Conversely, each individual is to blame if the rise turns into a fall or if chronic illness causes health insurance costs to skyrocket. This is the basic tenor of the book "It's your own fault!", edited by the journalist Ann-Kristin Tlusty, among others. The result: system blindness, because more and more personal responsibility is demanded instead of solidarity being promoted. Ann-Kristin Tlusty and Stefan Manser-Egli, philosopher and co-president of Operation Libero, are guests at the philosophical regulars' table with Barbara Bleisch and Wolfram Eilenberger. They discuss how far personal responsibility should extend and what we lose if no one is to blame for what they get themselves into.
