Completely unprecedented. there isnt an economic model in existence that could have predicted this. no one could have imagined that building more housing would bring down rents. no one.

Neoliberal

Free trade, open borders, taco trucks on every corner.

Latest discussion thread: April 2024

We in m/Neoliberal support:

Free trade and competitive markets
Immigration
YIMBYism – ‘yes in my backyard’-ism
Carbon taxes
Internationalism and supranational governance – e.g. the EU, UN, NATO, IMF
LGBTQ+ rights
Democracy, human rights, civil liberties and due process

Neoliberals can be found in many political parties and we are not dogmatic supporters of specific parties. But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on.

Rules

1. Remember the human. When you communicate online, all you see is a computer screen. This doesn’t exempt you from basic politeness. No name-calling, hostility, saying horrible things you wouldn’t say to a person’s face, etc.

2. Don’t be a dick. No bigotry, racism, xenophobia, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, toxic nationalism, promotion or glorification of violence, etc.

3. Don’t behave in bad faith. Don’t troll other users, don’t reflexively downvote people with different views to you, don’t brigade other communities or come here to brigade. No doxxing.

4. Don’t post off-topic posts/comments, duplicate posts, or low-quality posts (especially low-effort memes - though good memes are very welcome!)

5. Don’t post inappropriate sexual content.
