Anytime someone points out on /r/neoliberal that their preferred policies/ideas would be wildly popular if they toned down the extremist trans rhetoric even just a little bit, they get immediately y'alled from the sub.
Shame, because it sadly is the most sane political sub outside that. Used to be an /r/Drama sister sub.
The French green party has terrible energy policies though, they're against nuclear power for instance (on a country where 70% of it's power comes from nuclear) they also support carbon taxes (that's a good policy at least) which are super unpopular in France.
By actively promoting diversity, businesses can tap into a broader range of perspectives, fostering creativity and driving economic growth. Studies have shown that diverse teams are more innovative and perform better. So, from a neoclassical standpoint, supporting LGBT+ individuals isn't just about social justice—it's about maximizing utility and achieving the most efficient market outcomes. In other words, embracing positive discrimination is just good economics. If Adam Smith were around today, he'd probably be drafting policies to make sure we're all working in the most trans BIPOC inclusive and efficient economy possible.

Wait until the American election get's closer and watch as they become /r/politics-lite, that sub always gets extremely shitty as major elections loom due to astroturfing and mods pushing their activism.
Already politics lite. Top comments are already seething about "centrists." They are fully cooked from the 2020 big tent (and before that, but 2020 was the floodgates.) Every once in a while I see some post where some of them start to chud out a little, but the full transformation to the people they used to make fun of is pretty wild.
they have an automod response to dooming about the election, telling people to voooote and vooolooonter for Biden. it reminds me of the Sanders4Prez sub, complete with unskewing of the polls that keep showing their guy is behind Trump
You can claim to be Neoliberal and disagree on any given issue of welfare, trade, taxation, etc. But you cannot disagree about s*x changes on minors. Therefore, that's what Neoliberalism is truly about.
I disagree. I like trans people but to create a globalized world you have to be able to get the rest of the world to connect with your ideals. Increased rampant globalization would require downplaying the trans rights element as its far harder to assimilate immigrants in strongly pro trans societies than pro gay ones. Trans rights should take center stage once Saudi Arabians can handle the gays.

Do you think carbon taxes could ever pass without massive backlash?

Not while most people's vehicles run on gasoline/diesel, or while most people rely on gas for heating in the Northern Hemisphere.
I don't think people will be happy with imported goods getting expensive all of the sudden either.

It went from a based neocon flair to a straggy Sophi she/they #BLM #freePalestine flair since they learned about NATO in 2022.
Douglass is just sad because he's unfathomably based. But his flairs want to live in chains.

Idk, but transwomen keep the internet working and consume lots of pharma stuff, so they're probably good for economic growth.
