    “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money.”

    And the problem with capitalism is that eventually all your customers run out of money.

    Ohhhh, I get it. Broke as in, we don’t have any money, resouces, safety nets, or morals under the current mindset. Nice.

    A virus, the thing they deny anti-virals for. Claiming they don’t work because you can still get said viruses. Headline: “Education can’t fix stupid so why try it?”.

    I’m afraid we are 2 steps behind, lol

      I think if this was a rightwinger they’d say liberals. I mean it could be just me but I associate the term neoliberal with criticism from the left rather than the right.

        liberals, neoliberals, broadly the same thing.

        Vaguely progressive, maybe a little bit of welfare sprinkled here or there, but adhering to capitalist “growth” and inequality as a doctrine.

        Aka. Rainbow Capitalism.

        A right winger’s idea of a neoliberal is Reagan and Thatcher. Pretty much 100% sure they mean our captured opposition party.
