This was predicted, and he warned everybody in advance. Whether his policies are beneficial or detrminental in the long run remains to be seen.

yeah, remains to be seen. we didn't see what his policies looked like 100 years ago when they failed back then too. good thing he warned everybody tho!

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 41 points 3 months ago (1 children)

His policies are identical to the shock doctrine in Russia, and the "neoliberal miracle" of Chile post coup. Fucking empty headed motherfuckers

It was a real jokerfication moment when I found out the economic miracle liberals use to do ”at least the trains ran on time” style apologism of Pinochet wasn't even real.

Lobotomies aren't bad because I told you it would hurt up front

Gosh, we just don't know WHAT will happen! This has only been done 3 billion times before, and he told you it would suck

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago

one thing's for sure, all the wealth that the already rich will earn during this time of economic turmoil will soon trickle down

Mad to see all the coping going on from Reddit libertarians. Apparently the ‘math’ works out for this and everyone that is currently living in poverty was already poor. They are also waving around lowered rents as if that isn’t a direct result of increased homelessness and poverty rather than removal of rent controls. They ‘increased housing stock’ in the last six months apparently.

What math are they talking about? Dunno, just the math.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago

I would spare r/worldnews cretins if they weren't so fucking smug about everything. The "math". Man, shut the fuck you wannabe fucking nerd. All you know is racial pseudo psychology, you can barely comprehend basic arithmetic.

It by definition cannot work, you are taking money away from the people.

It used to be that austerity was necessary because the country was "broke" and employment was too high, that was the neoliberal rhetoric. Now, nerd go akshually it improves the economy somehow despite increasing poverty and unemployment . How? No one knows

[–] anarcho_blinkenist@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

and employment was too high,

capitalism is most efficient and rational system, btw

[–] bumpusoot@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Sufficiently advanced capitalism is indistinguishable from primitive superstition.

How many % are the reddit commentors willing to impoverish before admitting it's not worth it? Just trying to cut to the chase.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago

Communism fails every time it is tried smuglord

Just one more Galt's Gulch bro this time it will work bro the free market keeps being tainted with cronyism how can this keep happening wojak-nooo

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago

This economic policy is certainly very good at making a country's assets for sale and for certain people to flee with cartoon bags of money to the US. >.>

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

Lmao it’s WorldNews. Of course they’re going to glaze him. I would be more shocked if they didn’t.

Throwing another batch of people into the poverty volcano to appease the market gods.
