Milei has been the most perfect illustration of how astroturfed r/neoliberal and all libertarian and neoliberal online spaces are and how contradictory their beliefs are. Every time r/neoliberal is posted in the slop comm, I check r/neoliberal again and so many comments are something like "Milei has such good economic policies, why does he have to ruin his perfect policies by supporting Trump and Musk. He is single-handedly doing everything right and finally undoing the damage of Peronism (the only reason that Argentina isn't equal to a Western European nation). How can someone have all of the perfect policies and beliefs, but still agree with people that are obviously bad like Trump and Musk?"

I started to rant about how aggravating it is to have that nonsense as an obstacle to progress, but I got to thinkin.

The actual frustrating thing for me is that..it seems kinda self-evident that progress needs exactly this big group of people, and they're basically inoculated (continually actively inoculated) against seeing reality. Hostile to it.

What I mean about needing this exact group is just that it's a large group of folks who clearly have some time to spend, give some fucks about the problems, and have enough logical grounding to ~notice and be consciously bothered by contradictions.

And they're just over there doing that. All jokes aside, better than just all of that happening here-ish, but fuck.

Lib shit is devastatingly effective.

It's also a perfect example of how fucking useless the rest of politicians are to loose to this piece of shit. Plus how dismal the let's-call-it-"overton-window" here is

The "its-so-joeverton window", perhaps. Woof this shit suuuucks.
