That's what i meant, most people support an ideology because their moral system feels like it's the correct one, but a lot of people will go on about theory or what Marx said and also not read anything. i.e https://hexbear.net/post/97958/comment/1076841
You can get an intuitive understanding of Communism at the very least without literally reading all 3 volumes of Capital. It's a coherent school of thought and way of analyzing reality. Neoliberal ideology is completely incoherent and contradictory which leads its supporters to completely defer to the ghouls.
A marxist can explain why the U.S has been bombing the middle east but a neoliberal will ask for 'studies' proving why it's a bad thing at all from the very same institutions that will disintegrate if imperialist conquest ends. And then they will not read them anyway because those studies need to be written in biblical latin for the liberal masses to keep faith.
Marxist theory is purposely written in common language; neoliberalism is not meant to be understood. On that alone I can tell you that the ratio of Marxists that understand what they believe in vastly outsizes the proportion of neoliberals that understand what they're doing.
i think this place foster an environment where people are pushed to read and organize, while places like /r/neoliberal don't. like, if i had to guess i'd say the longer someone has been a part of the Chapo Extended Universe™ the more likely they are to have read theory or to have read more theory.
You are criticizing the wrong thing though, bad thing in "They believe in bad things and they have no idea about evidence they claim to support" is not the second part of that sentence, it's the first part. I honestly couldn't give a shit if they actually read the neoliberal academics or just parrot things they see from memes to feel smart.
Sure, but imagine believing something on faith but the something is as neurotic as "yes, I trust without evidence that rich people apologia for rich people is how to create the best society." Like at least religions give you the hope for instances of the supernatural, neoliberalism just has pointing out to our shitty reality and being proud about it.
As if this place is different cmon

I'm a simple man, I see empire, I say "no"
I see police, I say "BASTARD MAN!"
I see hungry, I say "Feed"

There is no difference between good and bad things. You idiot. You imbecile.
