The neoliberal subreddit is a true wellspring of comedy. Nowhere else on the Internet do you see such an awkward coexistence between incredulous radlibs and actual genuine fascists.

      Oh no, the neoliberal subreddit is a special layer of hell. Many of the other subs at least pretend to have shame, or have to be astroturfed into being lib-fash. The neolib sub is the authentic product of which the other subs are mere counterfeits.

            i tried to get banned during the blackout protests by intentionally breaking rules because i didn’t believe that i could stay away at the time, but they wouldn’t ban me; go figure.

            the only place that’s banned me on social media is the star trek lemmy instance and even then only to their most active communities; i wish i could understand why/how i have this ability so i can wield it to my benefit. lol

              I had acquired a stalker that was very upset I would tell people that Vaush had threatened to SA a woman and looked at CP, so they kept reporting me for saying that when the revolution comes everyone with a K-On profile pic gets the wall because there’s a 99% chance they’re neo nazis. After the second temp ban I figured it was time to go.

        There’s two main kinds of liberals.

        The first, who are just clueless moralists and never think of politics, only in vibes… and what’s best for their wallet (the main enemy, taxes and people who don’t work according to their standards of work ethics.)

        The second one, is aware of how capital works and what it leads to. They support it. With the necessary ruthlessness.

        r/neoliberal is the personal subreddit of a Victorian era capitalist, ready to participate in the partition of Africa. Not lassiez-Faire like the libertarians or other chuds. Except if that faction is strong and the winds are blowing favorably. Otherwise, any form of capital will do, as long as it flows faster.

        We were Stalin, /r/latestagecapitalism was Trotsky, /r/PresidentialRaceMemes was Nasser, /r/WayOfTheBern was Kim Il Sung, /r/neoliberal was Churchill, /r/TheDonald was… well whatever a decoy that hides the real Hitler would be, but the important thing is that Spez is Hitler.

      we’re not actually like Thatcher we’re just ironically neoliberals… Because we don’t want to admit how much we like Thatcher

      Them anytime I questioned how they could be a neoliberal. Especially after they being high and mighty about something incredibly terrible a neoliberal had done
