i insist that there be no capitalism when we celebrate haloween, instead i teach my children to seize the means of production and make their costumes out of discarded beer cans and twigs

If you're not a neoliberal you're actually mentally ill and have feelings, which is bad.

Even in their memes, neoliberalism commits an own goal. A Good Cartoon.

quote:

But because memes are typically used by young people with extreme views, the format naturally lends itself to ideological excess. The sensible center just doesn’t have many memes of its own.

The people at the r/neoliberal subreddit -- a small neighborhood in the sprawling online forum Reddit -- aim to change that
I'm glad that this burgeoning community of enthusiasts for sensible, ideology-free policies is getting big press.

I dunno who would benefit from an agenda of pushing neoliberal memes so I'd assume it is the unironic work of true believers. If dangerously unfunny libertarian memes can be a thing then I suppose dangerously unfunny neoliberal memes can be a thing too.

They're super proactive but neoliberal memes are mostly the product of a) friendless econ ungrads that are low on both social obligations and homework and b) do-nothing cogs who got jobs taking up space at some mid-sized local nonprofit because someone on the board owed their parents a favor. I'm torn because there's definitely enough brokebrains out there to churn out this content of their own accord, but funding a huge, failing "meme war" with the alt-right would not be the dumbest and largest waste of resources from them in the past year.

Ah but isn't that kinda part of the formula? Bad poo poo sells, people watch Neil Breen movies and laugh wildly at it. These lovely memes will spread precisely because they are lovely.
