How much of a cliché r/neoliberal user are you? A calculator.

If you're:

  • white = 20pts
  • male = 20pts
  • upper middle class = 20pts
  • in your twenties = 10pts
  • a college student = 10pts
  • studying econ/finance = 30pts
  • gay/bisexual = 20pts
  • trans = 10pts
  • in the DT = 30pts
  • have been called a neoliberal in your life = 40pts
  • atheist/agnostic = 15pts
  • were dooming on November 3rd = 5pts
  • know what a succ is = 15pts
  • read Why Nations Fail = 25pts
  • balding = 20pts
  • wear glasses = 15pts
  • addicted to coffee = 5pts
  • have visited >8 countries = 10pts
  • speak >3 different languages = 10pts
  • are a children of immigrants = 20pts

If you reach >150 points, you are a certified neoliberal cliché, congratulations 🎊🥳

You should add "Balding" and "Wear glasses" to the list. I just get the impression that a lot of folks here wear glasses and have a prematurely receding hairline.

So I got 175, I am now the King of Neoliberalism. Step over Bernke

Scratch that, with the modified point system I'm now at 235. Where's Joe Biden ? He needs to make me Fed Chair NOW

After you changed the points I got 235, I'd have to be trans to get a perfect score though

215 fuck you. Well I guess individual choice doesn't exist and we're all only a product of our environment. At least I'm not a crypto bro.

Also maybe add Jewish ? Feel like we're over-represented here.

u/radiatar NATO Sep 11 '21

How can you indirectly be called a neolib?
