Undoubtedly a lot of this is just really bad attempts at using irony in order to try and pretend like they are as funny as the socialists who are constantly dunking on them. But I don't think joking about "the poors" or your school having too many Indians is particularly funny. Joke or not, it's fucked up.

This is perhaps a good time to link to the Big List of Neoliberal Asshattery:

Neolib mod here (or xmod? IDK I never had real power anyways) just to clarify something. Literally no one on the mod team agrees with Webby on anything. He says a lot of really stupid shit like "I love FDR" and thinks that the efficient market hypothesis isn't real. Now please soclists friends let me bask in those sweet sweet internet points.

Webby.jpg

Why mod someone as fucked up as this guy in the first place?

[–]Jufft 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (32子コメント)

Real talk dawg idk. I still don't know if Webby is the world's greatest preformance artists or something. Sometimes he seems like a real person and other times he posts political argument he had on tinder and claims High frequency trading is all rent seeking. Personally I wanted Webby to be a mod because I knew it would be funny but who knows why others were okay with it.

[–]Prince_Kropotkin[S] 35 ポイント36 ポイント  (17子コメント)

It's not performance art. He just comes across as someone who has absolutely no social skills and is a complete and utter asshole in every imaginable way. Plenty of people like that in the world, but neither my friends nor I mod them in our subreddits.

[–]Jufft -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Yes but you try to make something that isn't shit but the whole point of neolib is to be a drama magnet. At least as far as I am concerned. I realize that probably makes me a bad person but Reddit is pretty shit already.

[–]Prince_Kropotkin[S] 25 ポイント26 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Look, I'm a drama magnet. Webby is just a dickwad.

[–]Jufft 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oh shit your right you should be a mod that'd be funny as fuck.

    What the fuck are you talking about? I would seriously question the intelligence of someone who thinks weeby is being serious, about anything

    If you really think being clearly ironic and sarcastic and edgy, in an obscure internet forum, is so wrong, why would you hang out in r/drama for so long?

    [–]KaliYugaz 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (9子コメント)

    /r/drama is terrible though.

    [–]riemann1413 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    [–]DrinkProfessionally 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (5子コメント)

    Maybe, probably, but I dont understand those guys hanging out in r/drama so much time and now being utterly offended by edgy and immature humor.

    Look at the mods of this sub, at least 3 of them spended a shitload of time in r/drama

    [–]KaliYugaz 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (4子コメント)

    We tolerate their obviously morally bankrupt humor and opinions for the sake of their occasional sharp insight into the nature of unhinged people on the internet, and the good fun that results when those people are provoked by /r/drama's "tag everyone" policy.

    [–]DrinkProfessionally -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    morally bankrupt humor

    I dont even think that is possible, but meh more than one here loves edgy humor except when is targeted at them or when they have the opportunity to slander political ""opponents"

    [–]KaliYugaz 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    I dont even think that is possible

    Humor that makes fun of those who are in an inferior social position fulfills the function of reinforcing those relations of domination. It's definitely morally bankrupt.

    more than one here loves edgy humor except when is targeted at them or when they have the opportunity to slander political ""opponents"

    Eh, you're probably right there.

    claims High frequency trading is all rent seeking.

    This is true, and it's hilarious that you find that outrageous and droning kids jokes (with images) aren't. It's also fucking insane.

    [–]Jufft 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (12子コメント)

    Woah fam where is the rent seeks HFT makes the market adjust to it's real value more quickly my dude.

    [–]SummerOf1789 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (11子コメント)

    Droning fucking kids and laughing about it.

    or

    All of finance is rent seeking.

    Which one do you care about more? And what does that say about you as a person?

    All I see is you ignoring my pointed question.

    this but ironically

    [–]KaliYugaz 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (5子コメント)

    Could you do me a favor and explain the argument for why finance isn't rent seeking? When we play the market, we certainly don't seem to intend to do anything other than let our money make money without actually working. Unless the very act of playing the market is useful "work" in the sense that it is deciding how best to allocate capital. But then many investors make their fund managers do that nowadays as salaried/commissioned labor anyway!

    [–]Jufft 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    In general terms the stock market and finance in general serves the purpose of being both a pricing mechanism to value a company at. That funds a company and creates value both in by getting closer to the real price of a company which reduces shortages and surpluses.

    [–]KaliYugaz 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Let's say I'm a rich guy who hires a few people to invest my capital for me while I sit around and do nothing. If "rent-seeking" is defined as making wealth by virtue of giving other people access to your monopoly on a resource instead of actually contributing anything productive, then how would that not be rent seeking?

    What is the "official" definition of rent-seeking anyways?

    [–]Jufft 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Reading over my comment I realize it doesn't make sense. I have a splitting headache right now so I'm not surprised. There is literature concerning this question that could answer it better then I could be the short answer is that at the very least most finance isn't rent seeking.

    That question should be asked about a lot of their mods. Or the one guy who runs all those mod accounts.

    I love FDR

    Why is this stupid shit? FDR was the guy who started the WPA, right? Basically the last time the government did any good.

    Burning crops in the middle of a fucking depression to benefit rich land owners and illegally imprisoning an entire race of people for years? IDK good question fam it's a real pickle.

    [–]Khanstant 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Never heard of the crop thing. I am also not familiar with the circlejerk on this sub or its general philosophy, If anything, your post confused me about the angle of this sub. I can't tell if you're being neoliberal, against it, or just being condescending because that's what you're supposed to do in a shitsays subreddit.
