Neoliberalism's inconsistencies can be summarized as such: neoliberals want the neoliberal status quo to be perpetuated, no matter how tattered and ragged it already is or how much a growing proportion of the world hates it, and they want to feel smart and superior for their status quo advocacy because it feels good to receive colonial treats while feeling superior for being the recipient. smuglord

"Moralism is still the best option". Someone didn't find out about the Archer...

Even if you never manage to find the Archer, the game beats you over the head with the idea that the Moralintern not only stands for nothing, but is willing to resort to insidious tactics to stand up for that nothing. And even if you manage to never pick up on those hints, the few representatives of the Moralintern that you're able to meet and speak with are parodies of your average dull-minded pro-austerity EU bureaucrats. I mean really, imagine declaring your full throated support for a parody of Mario Draghi, that the game openly mocks you for supporting sunday-friend

I've seen the Civ games described here as liberalism: the game so the OP is right but for the wrong reasons lol

you (and anyone else who does it) should be perma banned for linking a reddit thread from r/neoliberal. Worse than linking r/conservative really.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
