To me neoliberal is half of top-left and half of top-right. The “centre-ground” and western status quo that think capitalism (regulated to varying degrees) will bring everyone in the world up to a decent standard of living eventually. I don’t think either of the bottom quadrants have much of it going on.
Please correct me if you disagree though as I’ve just categorised a load of responses to my bottom-left outlook as neoliberal in a recent discussion.

Neoliberal, originally speaking, is closer to bottom-right, insofar as its obsession is with deregulation, free trade, and market solutions.
In common usage it’s become a catch-all for “Anything less than revolutionary that I don’t like”.
Ah ok cheers for the background, seems the meme checks out if that’s its original definition.
The definition I was running with is this:
A political orientation originating in the 1960s, blending liberal political views with an emphasis on economic growth.
Emphasis on economic growth means inherently subscribed to capitalism, hence my top-centre interpretation.
