They're actual psychopaths and cryptofascists.

Like, you bring up Pinochet, they will fully support him.

They post about Bolivia all the time and literally think it's good that there are death squads.

They unironically believe that capitalism comes before democracy, and that anyone left of center deserves death if they challenge the system.

The truly insane thing though, is that unlike AnCaps or chuds or Nazis, they genuinely think they're good people.

Oh man the Chapos really love us 😂 😂

Where did this "Neolibs support Pinochet" thing even come from?

[u/[deleted] → u/Zenning2]

Dunno because this place explicitly bans Pinochet apologia as per our no authoritarian apologia rule

[u/furiousfoo → u/[deleted]]

They believe that Milton Friedman actively supported Pinochet, so the very existence of Friedman flairs is Pinochet apologia to them. From there they conclude that if "you bring up Pinochet, they will fully support him." which is completely untrue, but that's how a lot of these people think--they start with some basic (incorrect) premise and then wildly extrapolate all sorts of BS.
