      I like how the moron in question cant think outside his programing enough to understand you can have subsidies to help working people access transit, whil;e also having larger structural change. I hate to fall into right winger tropes but it really is kind of like seeing an NPC trying to deal with something that isn't in it's dialogue wheel.

        Ideology is a hell of a thing.

        Funny thing, I can get in to fascists heads a little because there are things that I hate. Like I can imagine, at least, building an empire of evil devoted entirely to hating... idfk... Okay actually I can't but at least I understand hate as an emotion, and fear, and shit.

        I don't know what the fuck motivates libs. Lack of imagination? Contempt? A crushing lack of hope that anything could ever improve? I don't understand what kind of ideology would look at the 90s and declare "This is it. This is the pinnacle of human civilization. Nothing more than this can be accomplished and to ask for more is childish and also morally wrong".

          Fascism is still born of an anger at the failures of the modern moment. The wrong failures in many cases, but still acknowledging this isn't optimum. They imagine a future they would prefer to today,, which they think would make a happier,, healthier population. They are wrong, but they still want to see somethinf they think is good.Neoliberalism has not imagined better. They cannot imagine past a nice dinner and a good quarter. Neoliberalism is giving up, saying "we've reached the zenith, let's jerk off and stop dreaming." It's why they can only imagine change coming from technology, this is the ultimate possible world to them.
