Meh, a neo-con is like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Selling belief and tightly controlling the flow of wealth based on those who may pay loyalty, patronage etc. Operates alongside a religious overlord but remains stringent and picky. What you mentioned is his platform of contention to gain popularity but in the later stages; a neo-con could be like the fat emperor. Some peculiarities like that could be seen as they claimed to be able to shoot anyone and get away with it. Sort of a big no-no in the civilian world. That may have been the siren that we are now peons in the feudal era 🥹

Which would be a hard pass.

User What is a neocon

ChatGPT Neoconservatism, often referred to as neocon, is a political ideology that emerged in the United States in the late 20th century. The term "neocon" is derived from "new conservatism" and is associated with a particular approach to foreign policy.

Neoconservatives generally advocate for an assertive and interventionist foreign policy, characterized by the promotion of democracy, the use of military force to achieve national security objectives, and a belief in American exceptionalism. They argue that the United States has a moral obligation to spread democracy and promote American values around the world.

Neoconservatives often emphasize the importance of a strong military, support for allies, and the use of preemptive or preventive military actions if necessary. They tend to view the world through a lens of great power competition and prioritize the preservation of American interests and security.

In addition to foreign policy, neoconservatism also encompasses a range of domestic policy positions. Neoconservatives generally support free-market economics, a reduced role of government in the economy, and traditional social values.

It's worth noting that the term "neocon" is sometimes used pejoratively or as a label for individuals with hawkish foreign policy views. The ideology has been subject to criticism and debate, particularly in relation to the Iraq War in the early 2000s, which was supported by many neoconservatives but was also highly controversial.

This is the correct dictionary definition. But we aren’t in the 20th century any longer - the definition you have provided is classical or legacy at this point. The neo world order we are in now or seem to be transitioning into (unfortunately) is the emergence of an emperor like entity with populist support and stringent investment into national identity. You can see it in many parts of the world after the turn of the century (Neo and conservative). The definition you have provided was responsible for the growth of democracy and liberalism but it didn’t culminate entirely since it tottered away from fundamental tenets like immigration, drug legalization etc.

The neo-cons that are coming in now are of a different type all around, you can make sense of it if you study it.

I've kind of had the opinion that this world economic forum and the world health organization are probably going to be at the center of this new world order.

It is my opinion that the internet has allowed anyone to have worldwide communications and it's very inexpensive and this has by itself turned the world into a world marketplace a global marketplace.

This will also cause power to shift because people from India for example now have the ability to run scams in the United States, if you just have a $10 Android and a cell connection you can swindle people all around the world.

A guy named kit boga runs a YouTube channel where he pranks Indian scammers and I got to admit those Indian scammers are ruthless and they are good and I think they make a lot of money.

The WEF is a hub but it doesn’t look like they believe in liberalism or globalism. They may have their people in places but the center is also attempting at multipolarity. Our connections are established but it isn’t all sunshine and cupcakes due to the heavy surveillance taking place within a nationalist framework and wanting to establish judgement. You could say that you are transitioning towards something de-global because the boom-booms have freaked out over this new fangled technology. Neo-cons of the new century.
