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.

I think it’s the “more perfect union” mindset. Radlibs might desire some progressive/left outcomes, but they see it as part of this reform narrative where the reactionary elements of the American project keep falling off over time (emancipation, women’s suffrage, end of Jim Crow, gay marriage, etc). So imperialism and genocide can be treated lightheartedly because they see it as a temporary embarrassment that progress and reform will eventually eradicate. Whereas the neolibs are lighthearted about it because they fundamentally don’t see it as a problem.
