   Neoliberals: gross inequality is fine, actually.

   Fascists: excellent, this is what we believe also.

   Neoliberals: wait, not like that!

     @aral do you actually have any meaningful examples of the third line? Because where ever fascists take power from eastern Europe, through France, Austria, Germany, etc. up to north America, neoliberals (and some "social democrats") mostly just seem to either capitulate, jump on the bandwagon or at least try to get the voters back by outfascisting the fascists.

     @matus_chochlik The third line is just for keeping up appearances. Until it’s not necessary anymore.

     @matus_chochlik @aral The third line is a stock punchline in this joke. It is never said with sincerity and is meant to highlight a hypocrisy.
