There might be a few shortcuts in the message but the general idea remains: the connection between liberalism and authoritarianism makes sense.
Comment on Current World situation has me like
RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 5 days agoYeah I don’t think you know what you’re talking about as none of your examples have anything to do with neoliberalism. You shouldn’t talk authoritatively about a subject you clearly have no background in.

Authoritarianism can spring from any hierarchical system as is obvious by looking at theoretically leftist states like the PRC or USSR.
Regardless all of their claims have no root in neoliberalism.
It is surprising how poorly educated so many are in philosophy on a site started by people who are interested in leftism.

On the contrary, every single one is highly typical of contemporary American style liberalism AKA Neoliberalism. I can explain it for you, but I can’t understand it for you.
This you?

Neoliberalism is not “American styled liberalism”. Liberalism is a political ideology and neoliberalism is an economic one.
You aren’t going to convince me that you know what you are talking about by making less accurate claims

I guess that IS you in the photo. Guess there’s no point wasting any more time and attention since you’re just going to hold on to your original misconceptions and add new ones every time I elaborate to clarify.

Talk to me after you have taken an economics course. Your ignorance of common concepts is palpable and that isn’t dismissed with image macros.
