r/neoliberal is basically designed to lure socdems and other people who have done 0 thoughts about the world into believing the status quo is looking out for them.
As long as the state isn't collapsing on itself, there are very slow gains, like a new highway, a new railway, a couple new schools or whatever. That is being used by them to show "see? I told you the system is working. Please support Mr. Biden and his friends to stay in power and I promise we will take good care of you"
People don't really care that there is a better system as long as the current one gives them enough bread and circenses. The liberal governments have just mastered the art of keeping people docile with the bare minimum and they keep doing the bare minimum.
Now for for example climate change it's impossible, but they will mobilize and fix it... once things start already going past a certain breaking point, and it will endanger their holy stability. They don't care about people being in poverty, being exploited by capitalism, being forced to migrate, unemployed, having no support in life.
And the socdem countries they love too? They might give people healthcare etc. but the workers there have 0 say in the process and people are believed to be stupid and untrustworthy anyway. Yet the local working class keeps getting more education, more money to do consumerism with. And they get immigrants, do imperialism, whatever helps them get richer.
It's honestly depressing how people are content with capitalist realism, or at least enough not to revolt
