Every time /r/neoliberal comes up I feel obligated to repeat the only three unifying principles of that sub:
Extreme, irrational hostility to the online left above literally everything else
Hyper-partisan loyalty to the Democratic Party
Rhetorical support for every "good thing" regardless of if it's ideologically consistent
You can see these principles in action right now in their top posts. 2/3 are hostile to "populists" and Rose Twitter, all the comments are full of morons who hold contradictory positions and try not to think of themselves as complicit with reigning hegemony.
Yeah its founded by PPI but its been overrun by very confused wannabe New Dealers, as the actual neoliberals themselves constantly complain. But yeah most have brain worms from being embedded in lib ass academic fields and social media addiction.
yeah a lot of them don't understand that neoliberalism = reaganomics/thatchernomics of privatization, deregulation, and austerity. They just take the word at face value "liberalism, but new" (which itself is hilarious given that liberalism as an ideology dates back centuries and is associated closely with european colonialism and the emergence of the nation state out of the feudal paradigm.)
so they think their stale ass succdem politics of "what if we saved capitalism from itself by doing New Deal 2.0" is compatible with the sub's founding ethos of doing Reaganomics with a #BLM bumper sticker. Actually scratch that. They've already peeled off their BLM bumper stickers.

any organic posters have brainworms from browsing the literal think tank too much
