What Exactly is Neoliberalism?

And why is it so popular on reddit?

Basically patchwork for liberal economics in order to "preserve the free market"
shit like UBI (welfare), mainly. most of the time it's using mental gymnastics to blame the failures of capitalism on Government.

Do you not have duck duck go?

Paid interns at several Clinton-aligned PACs posting under multiple accounts each.

At least 80% of the people on that sub don't know what it is and are just supporters of le radical centrists like the Clintons, Macron, Canada guy, etc. The other 20% know they're right wingers who worship Reagan, Thatcher, Pinochet and unironically hate the global poor.

Neo-liberalism is pretty much anything that favors porky and fucks over everybody else.

this, the whole sub seems like some sort of forced popularity thing after neolibs got btfo by trump and bernie in 2016, they are scared, very scared

as for neoliberlism, think of it as capitalists pretending to be left wing

This. The best thing you can do is join that 20% and help turn the other 80% into Reagan worshiping right wingers. They are the easiest to defeat.

Capitalism with a smiley face. So the status quo basically.

Im just going to list some phrases: capitalism with a kind face, managerial, centrist, privatization, identity politics, elitism, bank bail outs, cutting of social programs, outsourcing, globalism, slow incremental change, donor class, end of history, would rather a rightwinger win than a left winger ever be let near the white house.

Reddit used to be more libertarian in the early days, but after the great normie migration onto the internet (2008-2012) it is now just a reflection of the status quo.

Look at the posts on /r/neoliberal, they bearly reach the hundreds when it comes to upvotes and even then are largely out numbered by the chapo sub. I'm suprised any post on the neolib sub can get 10k likes, i wouldn't doubt the usage of bots although im not a fan of that rationale. /r/neoliberal isn't even ideologically consistent, it's basically a bunch of social democrats with an identity crisis. it's actually extremely laughable how unattractive centrist ideology is, even on a place like reddit

...

tbh I don't see any differences between neoliberal and socialism, communism users

Care to explain

Pretty much everything Reagan and Thatcher have ever done involving the economy.
Deregulate the market, lower taxes on the highest income earners, increase tax loopholes, and sprinkle in a dash 10 ton scoop of toppling sovereign countries that won't allow you to exploit their natural resources and overthrow their democratically leaders when you decide you don't like them anymore.

I can already see where this will end up going.

Bet none of them were paid over $20/hour and they still enjoyed it.

Who is that potential nationalist kneeling down throwing up gang sings, should I be worried?

It isn’t really popular on reddit, actually

their anti‐trump shit gets upvoted and the liberal masturbation gets like thirty upboats lmao

IIRC there was a controversy over staffers being paid less than or close to the minimum wage she supported.

He looks like one of those Mongs.

It's basically Milton Friedman, Reaganomics, and Thatcherism.

Asians are honorary Aryans though.

Only the good ones.

Not far left enough.
This is the only correct answer.

It's not even really left-wing to begin with

Yep it's centrist.

They're libertarians who still recognize the necessity of monetary policy.

r/neoliberal isn't actually a popular sub, that particular post just made it to the top because people are pissed about the recent pardoning.

centrism generally doesn't have vociferous adherents

Yep. It's fucking pathetic, honestly. It tricks liberals into thinking they're more popular than they actually are. Communism vs Nazism is the future.

/r/neoliberal is obvious astroturfing. New (popular) subreddits appear frequently, but they show exponential growth until they reach carrying capacity. They start with a few original members, and over time more people get linked there and subscribe, eventually it starts getting posts to /r/all, and it starts to asymptotically approach the number that reddit's current population supports. You can tell a sub is astroturfed if it just suddenly appears with lots of subscribers and gets to /r/all regularly when it was totally absent before. That and the talking-points nature of the posts make it really obvious.

Reddit is full of astroturf in general. Sometimes you read comments there and they're full of the same talking points written out like a press release. The astroturf people are ridiculously sloppy at imitating normal posts, but even the better ones can be identified by checking their account history. Few agencies go to the trouble of ensuring that an account has a realistic history even though it's not technically that hard.

I would guess given how bad many astroturfers are at responding to context that they have a bunch of interns responding to prompts with random accounts. Like, a given company has a few hundred accounts active on a subject and 10 people sitting there waiting for a notification that a relevant subject has popped up. Some algorithm matches a person with a random account and has them reply. What's interesting is that the algorithm they use for finding the right posts is kind of patchy. If they had a human looking for this stuff it would be more consistently dispersed across relevant threads, but what you see is most threads without this, but some threads that are absolutely full of it. My guess is it's based on what site is linked and/or keywords in the post title.

If they want the astroturf accounts to look real, then all they have to do is let their employees use "downtime" where they aren't being fed stuff to reply to as time to browse reddit like a normal user. This gives the astroturf accounts some realistic padding to make it look like they're real people with diverse interests rather than bots that post in political subreddits constantly.

No, it's Burger retardation that accepts the premise that liberalism is left wing in any sense.

...

privatisation, low government spending, means testing etc

don't you try and dodge responsibility, europoor.

the problem is you cant be subversive when you are defending the status quo.
Even fascists are more rebellious and subversive judging with how the internet and msm does everything to try and shut them down now.

Neo liberals are some cracka ass crackas
