This became easy to predict about 15 years into the neoliberal project.
It’s the regime’s new economic paradigm.
What exactly do you think the word “liberal” means? Because I can tell you right now that Jumbo Shrimp makes more sense than Nazi Liberal. They’re opposed ideologies.
Buddy, if you can’t see how Ronald Regan, creator of neo liberalism, led to fascism in America, you don’t know what the words mean or their history. They ain’t opposing. Ask Chuck Schumer how opposed he is.
Ronald Reagan is famously opposedto Liberalism.
"If Fascism Ever Comes to America, It Will Come in the Name of Liberalism
~Ronald Reagan
See, this is what I mean by “you don’t know what these words mean.”
To quote the Wikipedia page of (keyword neo) NEO-liberalism
“Scholars tended to associate it with the theories of economists working with the Mont Pelerin Society, including Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, and James M. Buchanan, along with politicians and policy-makers such as Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Alan Greenspan.”
You see, the word neo isn’t just a funny haha shits and giggles addon. It’s there for a reason. To be specific. Ronald Regan is not a liberal. He hated liberals. He’s a neo liberal. Annoying? Yeah, but still, a purposeful distinction. Which you don’t know about which makes talking to you “about” that specific topic very very hard. Cause you don’t know the basic political vocabulary.
I’m not trying to be mean, it’s really hard to say “you don’t know what this word means” in a nice way to a stranger over the internet.
Trump’s nationalistic, protectionist policies are the exact opposite of neoliberalism 🤦♂️
It’s debatable if Trump has any national pride / takes any protectionist actions or if that’s just what he claims, but yeah neoliberalism is so poorly defined for people like L Law that I’m convinced it’s just an excuse to sound like less of a monster when they unironically oppose actual liberalism.
Look at their replies, squirming and writhing saying “I don’t need to define it because everybody already knows.”
That is literally the opposite definition of the word.
Liberal means a political advocate of protecting personal rights and freedoms, unless those freedoms infringe upon the rights of others. I am very proudly liberal, myself.
If you were criticizing a specific liberal party or organization with liberal in the name that would be okay, but the post is about the USA where there is no Liberal Party. This is to say, the post can be interpreted to oppose liberalism as a concept. To conversely promote human beings not having rights.
Liberal means a political advocate of protecting personal rights and freedoms… if you’re white bro.
Read a history book sometime about the actual history of liberals and liberalism.
I’ve been taking crisis deescalation classes for a decade and got certified to teach them this year. I’ve had classes that teach this as a good posture to keep because it keeps your hands visible and ready to cover your face. To me it reads as extremely dishonest. I think there’s a bit of an art to it and everybody’s ideal stance is going to be a little different depending on their style of interaction, but that’s definitely not one that would look good on me.
Wow, such solid hairplugs. Dyed daily.
When are y’all getting your pitchforks and torches?
Oh boy. You’re not wrong but my country has a looong history of convincing even the most liberal-minded that words mean something different, here, when they do not. Then people act surprised when the Overton window has shifted so far right that right looks center… If they bother to notice past culture wars and id pol.
