      Not really. Neoliberals don’t push neoliberalism because they think it works, they push it because they get rich off its failure.

        oh for sure, it’s just helpful if they’re making a bad faith argument that it does work. it gives you some authority when you call them a fucking liar.

      Yes it’s always helpful to have evidence.

      If the governments around the world were advocating for stabbing yourself in the eye with a rusty fork, it would be useful to have evidence that stabbing yourself in the eye with a thrusty fork it’s not in fact beneficial. Yes it’s obvious that it’s bad to anyone with a brain, but they’ll argue the point unless there’s some irrefutable evidence.
