Was neolib hate forged as a right-wing astroturf reaction to the 2000s hate toward neocons?
I genuinely can’t wrap my head around the people who throw this, and I thought I was pretty progressive-left. Do those who use neo-lib as an insult disparage well-regulated social democracies such as Nordic nations which blend regulated markets with select-nationalized elements?
Neo-liberal is a political ideology based around free-market capitalism. Reagan and Thatcher are good examples. Pretty right wing economically, theoretically socially agnostic, but experience shows that neo-libs will happily leverage bigotry to fulfil their policy goals.
Libs in this meme comes from a leftist perspective. Anyone who supports capitalist society or ideology is considered at a minimum to be a liberal.

I literally said “Neo-liberal” in my comment. Please work on your reading comprehension before cursing out your fellow lemmings.

I like stories. Also names don’t mean anything so people should pay attention to the behaviors of the group, not what they call themselves.
See, this is why the meme is bogus. The bottom picture should be a guy pointing and shrieking “Republican astroturf!”
Or a China/Russian apologist. Or a “tankie.” Or in bad faith. Or a troll. Anything to deny the actual facts.
