One of those austerity-supporting liberals was Friedrich Hayek.
You claim that austerity measures led to the situation where Hitler was able to take advantage and take power, and then you state the above. That's implicating Hayek in setting the stage for Hitler.
noted, in his Road to Serfdom that any regulation was the first step to an inevitable loss of freedom.
You haven't shown how he was wrong though. And I don't believe he said it was inevitable from the first step, he just described what the progression was like in general. You could always stop at any of the steps and change direction, it just hadn't happened historically.
The amygdalic disgust is irrational.
It's not irrational, as the subconscious brain isn't accounting for your cleaning regimen. The toilet seat would be the worst place if it wasn't cleaned.
You haven't shown that Hayek had any cognitive dissonance.
