"My hope is that the neoliberal project can grow enough that it becomes another option as an edgy, young people, cool ideology that can compete with communism or Trumpism."
This reminds me of Nate Silver, who maybe 8 or so years ago predicted that young millennials/Zoomers would start becoming conservatives to get back at their liberal parents.
IMO, most of those guys seem to basically be moderate Republicans/ libertarians that are just aware that calling yourself a rightwinger would make them unpopular.
(moderate, meaning they are okay with gay people and maybe don't like the fact that Trump is rude, but secretly voted for him anyway because they like his policies, and think that Biden/Hil are "too far left")

So edgy and cool to support the new status quo

Literally no conception of material conditions
I honestly feel like Nate Bronze is more often wrong than right. It's hilarious.

reminds me of the article that said the "dad bod fad" was a rebellious reaction to having an in-shape president (obama)
Radical centrists have grown a lot in the last couple of years. They weren't even a thing a decade ago.
Yeah and those dorks are about as edgy and cool as college Republicans

Do they really think Trump isn't economically neoliberal? I don't go on the sub but do they object to Trump on an economic level?
he's not neoliberal, look at all his protectionist policies, he's almost like some sort of weird neomercantalist
Yeah, nothing got the neolib knickers in a twist more than all the tariffs Trump was putting out
Yeah I get your point. Even though he wasn't successful at most of it he did want to reign in a lot of outsourced labour
A mass disruption of the service industry that caters to the brunch demographic
but tariffs so its not
I get that. I'm essentially a Zapatista for John Delaney.
