Their version of panicking is complaining about how the online left sabotages the Democrats at every turn and that's why everything is fundamentally broken
I'm serious, they completely lack any sense of self-awareness. Just take this second-highest comment from their current top post:
One of the more deeply depressing things to see is that there really is no momentum whatsoever to fix any of our broken institutions. No fixing UI. No reforms to the FDA. Nothing.
Wow I fucking wonder why, maybe you should find an answer to this question Mr Ben Bernanke flair. You might question your self-identity.
And down the direct replies:
I think the implication is that the lack of intellectually honest competition for Democrats ensures that we don't actually talk about the issues that impact our lives.
Republicans are too busy hammering on culture war issues, which distracts Democrats like a sprinting rabbit distracts a dog. So democratic activists are busy worrying about climate change and abortion rights (which... fair) because Republicans are constantly undermining efforts to combat climate change and sabotaging abortion rights.
It's not that Democrats are blameless. They're distracted.
Honestly I'm sorely tempted to stop procrastinating in making my next account and attempting to dedicate it to just being the token Communist who earnest-posts in /r/neoliberal. It won't change anything, I'd probably get banned in short order, and I'd probably drive myself insane for no reason, but they really don't have any sort of pushback in their ridiculous echo chamber.
The truth is that Tommy is an emotionally stunted veteran with an anger problem and some codependency issues. People who are able to be exceptionally calm during a crisis are able to do so because they’ve had a substantial amount of practice at something that their peers haven’t. Nurses who’d had training from the military were a big asset during the initial Covid response, for example, because they were used to improvising supplied quickly and safely. But in most situations, a cool headed professional is operating alongside a team of other coolheaded professionals.
It’s more about vibes. “We’re the cool heads in a room full of panicking idiots”
Meanwhile, I’m trying to figure out why more people aren’t panicking

Uncritical support to LeninsRage is his fight against r/neoliberal hegemony
