@arstechnica neoliberal nirvana is close

The TESCREAL Libertarians are trying to do with Greenland what the Neoliberals tried to do with Iraq.
But, of course, also, they're trying to do to the US what they did to Iraq, so
@JoshuaACNewman @arstechnica neocons in iraq. They consider their moral imperative
@Kierkegaanks @arstechnica
Neoliberalism is the economic theory. Neoconservatism is the parallel social theory. They overlap so much that there's no meaningful real world distinction.
@Kierkegaanks @arstechnica
The ”liberty” implied by the term ”neoliberalism" is for the people in control of the markets.
@JoshuaACNewman @arstechnica i’m not american and know terminology. The only meaningful distinction is the belief in moral imperative. Neoliberals have no such superstitions and have allied with fascists twice in history
@Kierkegaanks @arstechnica
Oh, sorry. I think I missed the distinction you were drawing.
Anyway, we're in agreement about the facts, history, and loudly trumpeted plans in action right now.
