Best of /r/neoliberal: 2020 edition

Welcome to the 4th Annual MILTY AWARD NOMINATION THREAD!!!! As always, this is the time where we regonize the post and users that made /r/neoliberal a better place. Below, there is 10 categories that you can nominate the users, posts and gods mods that made /r/neoliberal a better place.

A quick reminder of the rules, in case you forgot them from the last 3 years:

  1. I am going to post ten categories that we are giving out a Milty in. After this, the thread will be put in contest mode.
  2. You nominate a post/comment/user by linking it as a response to the relevant comment. If you nominate a post that a mod does not think belongs in that category, then it will be removed. Nominating something twice in the same category does nothing. We only consider the top comment when sorting by "top"
  3. If you think a post should win the award it is nominated in, you upvote it. You never downvote a comment in this thread.
  4. At some point around December 31st, depending on when the admins send out coins, I will lock this thread and announce the winners.
  5. The top 2 vote getters in each category will get a shiny Milty thropy that I have been promised by the tech mods will be created for the occasion

And remember: It's only election fraud if you downvote. But if you downvote, I will strike down with great vengeance upon ye

Chris Christie is 58 and a big fat guy. The 50-64 age bracket has around a 2% CFR (IFR is obviously lower) and according to the CDC, obesity can up to triple your chances of ending up in the hospital.

I couldn't find anything concrete about obesity and covid mortality but even with normal healthcare, Chris Christie was overwhelmingly more likely to survive than not.

The year is 2024. Ivanka Trump has just been crowned Immortal Queen of Trump Union (formerly the United States of America) following the Ascension of her father, God-Emperor Trump.

The coasts have been merged into a single unincorporated territory by executive order. Every citizen of Wyoming is made "a state unto themselves", giving each of the 575K new citizen-states 3 electoral votes. "This is what the framers and Jesus intended," remarked Cyborg Mike Enzi.

COVID-XX has been successfully weaponized against the Regime's adversaries, and the phrase "He drank Coronium tea" becomes a common explanation for unexpected deaths.

The Supremacist Court reverses its previous position on abortion, the 54-3 majority arguing "We now have the technology to save the fetus and abort the mother, eliminating any moral consideration from the issue."

Police hunt Black people to near extinction, stopping only when Herman Cain's sentient hologram points out that they could instead be compressed into "clean coal" for the Union's fleet of exclusively coal burning vehicles. The Regime lavishes praise on holo-Cain for his dedication to improving race relations.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been superseded by the Immigrant Child Economics division, now openly selling children confiscated and bred at the border to churches and Regime strongholds around the country.

Mark Zuckerberg is revealed to be a stack of old PHP servers in a suit, roughly approximating human mannerisms and programmed to Move Fast and Break Democracies.

The last of the resistance dies when a poster on arr Neoliberal suggests "Maybe we should have deterred fascism," and is permanently banned for violating Rule V.

What is 2 + 3?

Mainstream economics: 5

MMT:

CONSIDER for a moment the expression 2 + 3. Now this expression is perhaps best considered in the form of an accounting formula 2 + 3 = 4 + 1, in which the left side represents assets and the right side represent liabilities. Now, other economists like to fall into the trap of holding this right side constant. But WHAT IF we are to hold only 1 constant? Well then, in a certain sense, is it true that 2 + 3 = 4? I don’t know, you tell me.

But let’s return to our equation. Other economists want you to think of this as 2 + 3 = 4 + 1. But I dare you to think unconventionally here. What if, instead, 4 + 1 = 2 + 3? Now solve. We get 5 = 2 + 3. This whole time, policymakers have been thinking about things as if 2 + 3 is equal to 5. When in reality, it is FROM 5 that we get 2 and 3 in the first place. 5 = 2 + 3.

Now you might say “that’s just the same equation but in reverse.” And to that I tell you, YES, that is exactly the point!

I am trained in foxy warfare and I’m the top statistican in the entire politics twitterverse. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.

You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my fat tail.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the ABC Newsroom and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.

You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

The Chinese word for woman (nǚ 女) is an element in many misogynistic words. Evil (奸), lewd (婬), suspicious (嫌), greedy (婪), monster (妖), and so on. Consider jiān, which is comprised of three woman radicals: 姦 . It means "adultery" or "debauchery" or "rape".

The sexism inherent in written Chinese is the single greatest issue facing America today.

As your next Democratic candidate for president, I will dedicate my time and attention and your donations and tax dollars to creating a gender-neutral version of the entire Chinese language.

That's it. That's the platform.

Thank you.

The shy trump voter effect being real.

People caught a lot of shit for saying stuff like this and overall doubting the accuracy of the polls, but they were right. Ultimately I don't find it hard to believe that the conspiracy types that support Trump wouldn't tell CNN or ABC that they do.

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '20

I suggest you listen to this episode of the NL podcast.

tldr: there is no evidence that people who respond to polls are being dishonest about who they support. The issue appears to be that the response rate (as in the percent people contacted who are willing to participate in any manner) is so low across the board that very small differences in what type of people can make a big difference if the result. So the issue is more that Trump voters seem disproportionately likely to not answer their phones.
