It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It would be weird because of how outspoken he's been as a pundit but not surprising if this guy actually just goes Trump and defers to the other people in the room about most actual decisions that might break things. Which can work as long as there's not a... big crisis

He recognized immediately that he has very little power in comparison to existing vested interests and that he would be quickly removed if not compliant

As fun as it is to laugh at this fucker, I'm kind of hoping he gets the Shinzo Abe treatment before he causes actual deaths.

Kind of hard to try and fuck with an economy that large when your own has no leverage against it

Thoughts and prayers to whatever poor bastard from the Chinese delegation had to sit the Uber Libertarian down and explain to him how the real world works.
