Greetings to my fellow prisoners of the worst timeline. About a week ago the automatic newsfeed on my android starting trying to get me to go to a place called r/neoliberalism on a daily basis, and then today this article showed up quote:Yes, there really is a neoliberal meme community These memes are every bit as clever, sexy and compelling as you'd expect

I too am confused because 'freedom through inflation' doesn't sound like a very neoliberal stance because it benefits those who don't hold wealth and neoliberals typically hate poors

the most basic tenets of humor are subverting expectations and highlighting the absurd, so when your ideology is based around satisfaction with the status quo and doesn't actually stand for anything your jokes are going to be about as cutting as a suburban mom's facebook

I still don't think we've fully appreciated how utterly batshit this meme is considering the state of starvation wages subsidized by the government for the enrichment of gold-hoarding leprechauns

/r/neoliberal 12,050 (((globalists))) shilling evidence-based policies for 6 years! Being the only subreddit where "feel the Bern" refers to the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke, r/neoliberal gives you the unique opportunity to spam "thanks mr bernke", admire Milton Friedman's erotic baldness and worship evidence-based policy. Thanks to an unregulated meme-based economy and free trade treaties with subreddits such as r/badeconomics and r/globalistshills, it enjoys high Gross Domestic Content. Have you ever thought about becoming a (((globalist shill))) instead of whining about "the establishment"? If so, this subreddit is for you. Whether you're a supporter of Hillary Clinton of Jeb Bush, if you've been called a cuck or a dirty liberal, you can probably fit in in r/neoliberal. Neoliberals do what's almost unthinkable in our times - they pay attention to what policy experts say. In this elitist ivory tower, you can use UN, IMF and the World Bank to do whatever you want. Neoliberals embrace the insult that has been used by people to criticize whatever they don't like about the current system. Because they are open-minded about endorsing any policy based on its scientific support, they usually wind up in the center of the political spectrum. They believe in empirical evidence-based policy instead of rigid abstract ideologies. They priorities of neoliberals are: eliminating global poverty with free trade, forging stronger international ties to prevent wars, and using capitalism to ensure growth and prosperity. 1. Tell us about yourselves! THE_SHRIMP I took this mod position after my stint being a Hillary Clinton internet shill ended. Clearly, I didn't work hard enough. DracoX872 I'm just a lowly undergrad studying econ and math. I hope to go to grad school for economics or finance. I've also become to central planner for this sub because the other mods are slacking... *clears throat loudly* Wubotarian I have an undergraduate degree in economics. I have been a part of the Reddit Economics Network for awhile - and have been a bit of a meme. I also moderate /r/badeconomics where I enforced rules that make it the best economics forum on the internet. 2. What was your journey to becoming a neoliberal? Why are you a (((globalist)))? THE_SHRIMP You know, one of the most frustrating things is the amount of polarization in politics. Everyone is always yelling at the other side for not being bipartisan, but it's not that they want to compromise with the other side, they just want them to agree with their own views. That's not bipartisanship, that's whining. Also, (((evidence-based policy))) gets my dick looking like a LRAS curve, so there's that. DracoX872 I was an unironic Bernie bro and what happened was basically this. As I looked for better solutions to things that I believed were problems, I found myself moving towards #neoliberalism. Not the Wikipedia definition of neoliberalism, but rather ideas that resulted in my being called a neoliberal/globalist shill by the Social Dem left. I decided to look more into the term, and what I found was something that fit my beliefs and was quite different from what most people think it is. Wumbotarian I was a libertarian in college as a freshman - an Austrian AnCap at one point. It was bad. Through my continual education in college and reddit, my rejection of Austrian nonsense and gathering economic facts, I moved to a more moderate libertarian. Now, I think I am a neoliberal as described by the sidebar. I am still probably more libertatian than others here given my roots, but I see neoliberalism as the natural evolution of Libertarianism in the 21st century. 3. How did you get involved in /r/neoliberal? THE_SHRIMP I posted some dank memes and harassed /u/DracoX872 enough that he gave me a position DracoX872 About a month ago, I noticed this sub existed but it was completely empty. I didn't really think of myself as a neoliberal, but I decided I might as well ask to get ahold of it because why not. So, I pm'd the owner of the sub, Vakiadia, and he puts me in as a mod. I originally intended for this sub to be about serious policy discussion, but the memes started flooding in; I decided to leave the MemeEconomy deregulated. I grabbed a few more moderators, re-invited the old owner of the sub, and now we're here. It's still a very new subreddit, but we're growing fairly decently imo. Wumbotarian I am a mod of /r/BadEconomics and friend of Draco's, and he brought me on to help moderate (though I am not as active as I ought to be).
