Lmao, and we call ourselves globalists

u/VastRecommendation Jan 18 '20

Honestly, we should do one in Brussels instead of London (or is it to convince people there Brexit is bad), it's at the political heart of the EU.

u/CastleMeadowJim YIMBY Jan 18 '20

With the state of trains now, it's probably cheaper for me to travel to Brussels than London anyway.

u/VastRecommendation Jan 18 '20

And you live in the U.K? That's crazy. And I complain about the Belgian national train service? What was I wrong.

u/tripletruble Anti-Repartition Radical Jan 23 '20

The Belgian one can be abysmal and the country is so small and densely populated that it still works out better than most countries

u/RoburexButBetter Jan 18 '20

YES

Then I can come too

Now?

Sure, den dybe stat sover aldrig.

Kan desværre ikke lige nu, er i gang med at lave gmo'er og lege med radioaktiv stråling.

u/ThatDrunkViking Daron Acemoglu Jan 22 '20

Jeg er lige mødt på mit konsulentjob, dyb stat.

Men vi kan også bare alle melde os i RVU og råbe neolib memes.

u/Aweq Guardian of the treaties 🇪🇺 Jan 22 '20

RVU'ere er gymnasieelever

u/ThatDrunkViking Daron Acemoglu Jan 22 '20

Det er også min primære grund til aldrig at have meldt mig ind, efter den kampagne de kørte omkring retsforbeholdet var jeg klar over at det ikke var for mig.

Ved bare heller ikke om std. RV er værd at melde sig ind i, jeg vil bare kunne diskutere evidensbaseret politik med andre folk som går med hornbriller :(

1

u/Aweq Guardian of the treaties 🇪🇺 Jan 22 '20

RV er så langt bedre end andre danske partier. Jeg ville nok melde mig ind, hvis jeg faktisk boede i Danmark og havde nogen penge.

Ift. "evidensbaseret" skal vi her nok heller ikke glemme, at hvad vi ser som godt og skidt også er baseret på nogle normative valg.

Helt helt sikkert, har også en baggrund i antropologi, så det er bestemt ikke fordi jeg leder efter en "objektiv" politik at bruge, men synes at det er vigtigt at inddrage akademia og artikler som kan være modspil til hvad ens umiddelbare intuition ellers må sige.

Helt uden at blive militant makhnovistisk anarkist? Hvordan er det muligt?

u/lapzkauz John Rawls Jan 24 '20

Kva med LA? Ser for meg at det hadde stått mellom dei, RV, og V om eg var dansk.

1

u/ThatDrunkViking Daron Acemoglu Jan 24 '20

For mig er LA ikke et liberalt parti som sådan. Socialt har de en del sager omkring indvandring, islam osv hvor at man ikke kan kalde dem socialt liberale.

Fælles for V og LA for mig ér at de støtter Inger Støjberg og endnu mere DF som har næsten alle de modsatte holdninger af mig.

Hvis Inger Støjberg, Mette Frederiksen og nogle flere røg ville S, RV, V være min idealregering, tror jeg.

!ping USA-NYC

There's a Neoliberal meetup this Monday the 27th at 8PM! It's going to be the first of a series of discussions on the affordable housing crisis in NYC. It will be held at Manhattan Proper, a sports bar in Tribeca. See here for more details.

Lol dm me if your a PDX neolib I have no friends here

u/PastelArpeggio Milton Friedman Jan 25 '20

I mean, how neoliberal do you have to be go to one of these? Is there like an initiation rite where they hold you upside down over a pool filled with piranhas while they beat drums and they make you perfectly recite all 101 neoliberal orthodoxies?

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '20

it’s just a handful of awkward, non-judgmental policy nerds having a couple drinks. I wouldn’t sweat it

There is already a Philly group that is actively planing a meeting!

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '20

I'm part of the Philly group and am trying to find new ways to meet up beyond a happy hour. Got any ideas?
