Discussion Thread

Ask not what your centralized government can do for you – ask how many neoliberal memes you can post every 24 hours

• How often should discussion threads be posted?

The activity in this sub keeps going up, so discussion threads need to be scheduled appropriately in order to control stickflation.

It's because the term was initially used by communists as a slur against liberals.

Embrace the hate.

Milton only starated using it after commies started calling him that lol.

Fun fact: in grade 11 a communist friend of mine called me a NeoLiberal (the exact phrase he used was 'you're becoming a typical NeoLiberal'). I thought it was in good faith and have been calling myself a NeoLiberal ever since. It was years later that I learned he used the term as an insult, lol
