When IRL people talk about Obama or whatever being "far left" I just want to say no, you don't understand. I regularly post at a message board with actual Marxists and people who think that if their definition of "rapist" includes all straight sexually active men then it's society and not the definition that should change. :negative:

You can legitimately be both neo-liberal and neo-conservative though.

Which is as good an argument as any for them being lovely terms.

Especially since "neo-liberal" especially is frequently used in a sense completely removed from its origin, sometimes even contradictory entirely to the philosophical sense, falling victim to the liberal in philosophy v liberal in American usage split. "Neo-conservative" too is often seemingly deployed just because "neo" seems to have taken on a dark meaning and so it can be used to mean "extra bad conservative." And even as originally used, the term never had a very rigorous definition. At least "neo liberal" meant something clear and definable at some point.

It's me, I'm the guy who gets mad at vague descriptors.

Real talk, neo-conservative originally had a (rather broadd) meaning too, it was to describe people who leaned nominally to the right in American politics but who were most concerned with an aggressive muscular interventionist American foreign policy, especially focused on a Wilsonian bent to more or less make the world safe for democracy. Distilled down to its essence, neo-conservatives firmly believed that there are two sides to the world, good and bad, and that American ought to be on the side of good...as opposed to the real world, where everything is a shade of grey. Anyway this is how individuals from both the Clinton and Bush Administrations could be described as "neo-conservative" (or at least having neo-con beliefs) because it was primarily a foreign policy focused descriptor, not a domestic politics one.

But yeah, now it basically means super bad GOP meanie.

Neoconservative almost exclusively refers to their views on foreign policy, neoliberal almost exclusively refers to economics.

I know quite a few neoliberals and neocons here in DC and they are not overlapping sets. The neocons want to start new wars, the neolibs want school vouchers.

Neoliberal usually refers to someone who is ardently pro-free trade and globalization (aka everyone in US politics), so it would be pretty easy for neolib and neocon to overlap

Aye. Neoliberalism was born out of the Reaganomics movement in the 80s and was pretty popular in Latin America during the late 80s and early 90s.

So basically a lot of the same core tenets to which neoconservatives adhere.

I just remembered a quality story about CPT 'MURICA that I posted about earlier in this thread. He stopped training for an hour and a half to have a public argument with his 1SG about the merits of starting off walking with your left foot vs your right foot when doing urban ops. 1.5 hours of dipshit O3 arguing with his 1SG that stepping off with the "wrong" foot (even when not in contact with anyone) "IS WRONG AND WILL GET YOU KILLED" and 1SG finding as many ways as possible to say "boss, it doesn't really matter which foot you lead with if you shoot the other rear end in a top hat first" (which may have been the entire point of the exercise) without getting called out for disrespect or just ignoring the wee little fucker outright. This went on for forever with the majority of our company just looking on, completely dumbfounded. Eventually it ended, I'm not sure of the circumstance though. Likely a threat of counseling for insubordination, or possibly the 1SG saying "GOT IT SIR HOOAH" so the good CPT would walk away and leave everyone alone.
