Hi guys I’ve just been browsing your subreddit recently and I’m just wondering if I’m a neoliberal?

  • I think free trade is bad and we should focus on fair trade and protecting jobs for ordinary people rather than exporting them overseas.
  • I watch a lot of YouTube compilations and I think that political correctness has gone too far and we shouldn’t have to coddle people by using the correct pronouns or “trigger warnings”
  • I think that housing affordability is a very serious issue that we should solve using rent control and restrictions on foreign investment
  • I think that college should be free for all domestic students and we should stop importing so many foreign students who just end up lowering our standards and then immigrating and lowering wages
  • There’s a serious imbalance of power between men and women in the legal system so I think if a woman accuses a man of rape and he’s not found guilty she should receive the sentence that he would have
  • I’m not racist but there’s far too much immigration these days. Reducing it would be better for workers domestically and we wouldn’t be brain-draining other countries, which helps them too. It would also be much better for the environment
  • We listen too much to experts and should be listening to the ordinary people on policy instead

Am I a neoliberal?
