Does the fact that neoliberals keep losing elections and are universally hated mean they're bad at politics? "Who's to say" says r/neoliberal

I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.

You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

Best thing Iโ€™ve ever read in my life, thank you.

I hate neolibs despite being a free-market fetishist who jerks off reading Free to Choose. Only good Neolib is Scott Sumners because he was a neolib way before the term was appropriated by smug faggots. I hope Donald Trump bans r/neoliberal.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Unironically everyone who doesn't jerk off to Friedman is a fucking communist.

The son or the father?

Yes.

I mean, first off, Bernie Bros are, like you, too afraid to go to the places where black people live in the first place so it's not like you have THAT much competition.

Amazin' work bro.

its unironically super easy to do shit like that when you're so blatantly right.

Donโ€™t burn yourself out too soon man, weโ€™ve got a long election season ahead of us

As if it wasnโ€™t a done deal already. Have you seen the people competing for the democratic nomination? Only mini mike basedberg has a chance of defeating trump.

Depends if he goes woke or he tries to out Trump Trump.

Hi, I'm from the future! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ˜ฉ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Emojis have taken over! ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜… ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ˜‹ ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜˜

Also, Bloomborg didn't win! :D/D:

COPE

...I do miss his Lawlz documentation, not gonna lie

Oh yeah, important note. Congrats, you won the Cold War. Too bad you're somehow losing the peace

Lmao. I think I love you OP even if you are unironically ironically unironically literal neolib filth

even if you are unironically ironically unironically literal neolib filth

I am unironically one of the most neoliberal people on earth. It's just I'm also not a complete and utter social retard and I can understand that I can't just throw policy papers in someone's face and expect to win their vote.

๐Ÿคฎ

I was set on John McAffee before this comment but now Iโ€™m voting for trump

as a guy who does some neolib activism IRL (no dox pls), it's disheartening how ineffectual we are :(

Maybe if you guys became woke to the fact that academic economic theory is absolutely fucking retarded and based in nothing people would take you seriously.

[removed]

You're like unironically half right here. Economics is actually a really fucking fantastic field, but the average voter is almost as retarded as you so you can't use economics to actually try to win elections

No, Ive studied economics at a prestigious buisiness school. Its nonsense and the average economist professor doesn't know that there are price controlls on milk, understand the economics of US agriculture, and think the economy is a $1 wage increase from crashing.

I totally believe you also my did works for Microsoft and if you don't stop I'm gonna have him hack your Xbox live account

Okay neolib retard. Explain to me again the magic of an unrestricted free market and how globalism is good for America.

Well I don't want an unrestricted free market so I can't do that, but I like having cheap goods and new employment opportunities brought on by comparative advantage and economies of scale.

Like I figured, you're retarded.

Sorry sweetie if you think free trade is bad than it really does go to show how shit Daddy University really is ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿ’…

Quit talkin smart, faggot

If neolibs stopped unquestioningly sucking the dick of global free trade on the basis of a 200-year-old concept formulated during the height of mercantilism, the absence of social spending, and the general developmental parity of the involved trading partners, then I'd have quite a bit more respect for them.

It's OK, they have the moral high ground on reddit

I love when new capeshit and spaceshit movies come out cause I always make sure the people on that sub know all the key plot points ahead of time.

imagine controlling the entire educational system and major media outlets and you still can't get people to listen to ur egghead ideas ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

entire educational system

Nigga wat teachers unions have the government grabbed by the bussy lmao the educational system is fucked hahahahaha

Teachers are all poorfags churning out burgerganda so if their unions are holding on to the bussy its so they can stay close to the dick their sucking

Since when do neoliberals keep losing lol.

Trump

Brexit

Greece Crisis

Italy as a nation

2020 Presidental Race

Ukraine as a nation

The entire state of california

The entire state of new york

Literally all of Latin America

Yellow Vest Movement

The rise of the AfD and Greens

unironically where have they not been losing?

Apart from daddy and bongistan none of those matter. The Greeks have been retarded since the ottomans cucked the byzantines, same with Italy and the vandals. Eastern Europe and South America are shitholes and should be glassed. The yellow vest movement accomplished nothing. The afd and greens have been getting cucked constantly.

Meanwhile the entire global system is neoliberal including American and Bongland as well as China. These minor abberations don't matter, it's only been like 5 years lol

Letโ€™s not forget all the dumb cunts Eastern Europe keeps electing.

> Neolibs lose elections

​

Dude, the world order is neolib

Why would poor men want to hear how toxic masculine they are by middle-class white women and they should waste money on consumerist shit to fix their toxic masculinity? This alone would make people uninterested in neoliberalism.

You may have never seen action, but you deserve a fucking bronze star for this post ๐ŸŽ–

Is it that obvious I'm a pog? ๐Ÿ˜”

I just took a lucky guess.

Leftists got annihilated in the midterms. You hear a shitton about the couple who won but nothing about the ones who lost.

What a spanking, and the Jannie rubbing at the end, oh! Magnificent! 10/10

I wouldnโ€™t say Clinton>Bush W>Obama was anything to scoff at, Thatโ€™s 24 years and plenty of agenda pushed successfully, I might add

At least they can upvote bantz, if you said shit like this to Chapos they'd 99% downvote it

Straight to the gulag. I unironically want communism to happen just to watch chapos die.

You say the neolibs are tards, yet you are studying international relations so you can pamper some lawyer neolib congressman's nuts one day as an aide. You can't really explain that

Lmao imagine following what someone on redditdotcom is doing

Imagine longposting everyday on reddit

Neoliberals have been doing great. Economic liberalization, privatization, deregulation, globalization, free trade have all increased over the past few decades.

They actually meant Jews to say.

This is one of the most beautiful Reddit posts I have ever seen. If it was a picture, I would buy it, frame it, and hang it in my living room. Well done.

Some trolling is subtle, and connoisseurs often develop a taste for it. But often the best trolling is simply when you deliver an unpleasant truth straight up unfiltered and force all the idiots living in denial out there to swallow it down.

Globalism is a control scheme. ๐ŸŒŽ
