r/neoliberal is honestly the only political sub that seems like they actually have fun instead of being hyper-partisan bitter basement-dwellers entrenched in some gay online culture war constantly raging about stupid issues. Their thunderdome threads last election were pretty great.

I will say this: r/neoliberal is the only subreddit where the mods are openly getting paid. I respect their transparency and that they're not doing it for free like Bardfinn.

Let me tell you this-- r/Drama is one of the most malevolent, cruel, coldhearted online communities you'll ever find, and even as a supporter of free speech it appalls me that Reddit would allow such a vile, festering hub of bigotry and sadism to exist. You think [slur]town was bad? That subreddit, if you pick up on the dog-whistles (and many don't even bother with that-- say want you want about Stormfront, at least it bans "n[slur]"), will reveal itself to you as Reddit's number one hub for the web's most hardened Nazis, Klansmen, Fascists, and G*mergaters. You'll notice on the sidebar that it encourages members to be as dramatic as possible. That's intentional. They encourage arguments in the comments section. That's intentional. You know the Three Minute Hate (it's from this underrated book 1985, give it a read, it's scary how much it parallels our society)? It's like that, they want to stoke the flames of reactionary rage so they continue to dogpile every progressive and minority who enters the subreddit, normalizing these evil feelings. They brigade from subreddit to subreddit, having an entire cabal of mods spanning hundreds of communities, gaslighting lived experiences of the oppressed and unashamedly bolstering Reddit's homegrown white supremacy movement. They've kink-shamed hundreds of people too, some even... to death. I fear that r/drama may be producing an entire army of Dylann Roofs and Elliot Rogers, and I highly suggest that nobody dares visit that horrible subreddit, lest you potentially fall victim to its corruptive aura.

The thing I appreciate about NL is they understand the word "it depends". As you get older you see the world in less black and white. Rightoid subs will tell you there's a solution to everything just do X. Commie subs will tell you we just need to do Y. NL is one of the few subs where you can get told "well this is complicated, and the solution depends on XYZ".

yeah it is super weird how much most of reddit recoils at the idea of "both sides" but NL is one of the few subs that embraces that yes, sometimes both sides do have points.

NL is both socially liberal, but also points out that capitalism is the best economic system for lifting people out of poverty as the 20th century showed. Somehow this has turned them into reddit enemy number 1.
TBH I do miss the days of Chapo flame wars, or when then had Prince_Kombrolin as a low level mod for bantz. Peak NL was 2018.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It absolutely isn't, lol. The success rate of actually lifting people out of poverty on mass scale with free-market capitalism is minimal. Other than a couple of places in South-East Asia (which weren't really in the bottom 50% to start with) it kind of actually sucked.

I'm sure tons of people think immigration is a big issue, but that is again, thanks to demagogues and the right-wing media constantly harping on immigration for 20 years.
There's a large gulf between "what people believe" and what is true.
The Republican party is well aware of this reality, don't take my word for it, take the word of the grand newt himself:
I don't care if you want to respond to me, but at least think about the things you're saying before you say them. Because I can assure you that the belief "immigration is important because large swathes of r-slurs think that it is" doesn't make any sense.

Gingrich left his cancer stricken wife. I'll never take what he says seriously. Also he's a neoliberal thus not truly right wing. In fact there hasn't been a non neoliberal president since JFK. If you don't think climate change, immigration, automation, inceldom and wealth inequality aren't the top problems in the west, you aren't paying attention.

Holy shit, you guys are radical centrists like for real?
Jesus Christ. I thought this was a joke. I can't comprehend how insane you have to be to actually back an ideology as destructive and senseless as unfettered, radical-centrist just wanting to grill. You claim to worry about the issues of having fun online and yet you do not care about the common internet forum moderator, who inevitably gets fricked at the end of the day. But no, standing up for our right to agendapost 40 hours a week for reddit updoots is apparently a form of cringe at this point.

I don't understand the tankies and their love for China. Irl Marxist tankies should absolutely hate modern Chinese economical reform as it basically sold their working class out to be the worker bees that suicide themselves over 80 hour weeks to produce gag rubber vomit, pool noodles and Christmas tree lights for the biggest capitalist markets in the world. It's also created a class of mega rich billionaire Chinese business owners and party members.

The thing that always amuses me about neoliberals is that whenever you ask them to list the accomplishments of neoliberalism, they always end up listing stuff that the previous generation did. Hey guys, it's OK to admit that you're a bunch of rich morons who are just taking credit for the accomplishments of your ancestors. Everybody knows this already: pretending otherwise is like saying "Ice cream is warm, not cold." Who do you think you're fooling?

probably the simplest definition of neoliberalism is 'state redistribution of wealth, but in the opposite direction as commies'. Obamacare makes more sense under that rubric.

Literally the only good point you made here
"If you don't want to date a trans person, you're a bigot. Take the girl peepee, bigot!"
Empowering our geopolitical rivals, surely this will end well
Translation: We are militarily weak and can't project power as effectively as we used to.
Rich getting richer, well done
"Harmful ideologies" = "Anybody I don't like is a Nazi"
Yes, I believe we covered that under "Rich getting richer"
So overall, basically what you're telling me is that apart from the gay marriage thing - the one good thing they did in recent history - neoliberals are basically traitors to American values?

What point are you trying to make? Those are the goals of neoliberalism and they're accomplishing them successfully, as was the question.
