Sounds like a participation trophy to me. I thought they hated socialism?

[–] OttoVonBizmarkie@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Nah, they love socialism for them. If they need government assistance it's ok because they're just temporarily disadvantaged millionaires, whereas all of the poor and non-white people are just lazy and want things handed to them like a bunch of commies!

Socialize losses, privatize profits.

Oh, I'm more than aware of their hypocrisy. I was being facetious.

Ik the intention of your comment isn't to imply otherwise but I think it's still important to note that "socialism for them" isn't socialism.

Also these "(right) libertarians" are as libertarian as "anarcho-capitalists" are anarchists and as the "national socialists" where socialist. They're just another case of leftist terminology being stolen and twisted by the right.
