keep making fun of rednecks and hood rats, forcibly remove their guns from their cold dead hands, and create a side hustle by selling them pills and scratch offs.

Imo

Good plan. I wanna be so rich that they put me in a guillotine.

I wanna be so rich I ritualistically sacrifice their kid to Moloch

I got the reference.

Human trafficking is probs good business though. Many OH's that would pay top dollar for underaged pussy. Something to think about.

Edit: If only Bowie were still alive.

Dude, he says things that make him vulnerable to scrutiny. Frustration with black customers, not handling relationships perfectly, drinking and driving, leaning on his folks, selling condos -

You know who never has a hot take?

You know whose posts read like they’re meticulously ran through the official PC woke handbook for non-thinkers?

****ing you, Mr. Horrorcore.

The horrorcore rapper who never once said one ****ing offensive statement.

You are the most party line chicken**** mother****er. “OMG a rockstar ****ed an underaged groupie in the 70’s... Oh no... someone said the N-Word ... oh antifa is an idea not an organization ... BLM, but not a peep supporting violence but oh so careful not to critique it either unless it’s an angry old white dude” You’re gonna laugh at elph for not having a hot take? ****, your **** sounds like it comes out of the “this is exactly what I can and cannot say as a white male playbook” you’re even mentally ill by the ****ing numbers like a bipolar connect the dots coloring book.

Hot take my ass

In general the neoliberal consensus is not much different from the neocon consensus in this regard: NK is only worth diplomacy if they are willing to make serious concessions with regard to their nuclear ambitions. Otherwise, that's a deal breaker. So in that regard, Biden and Obama are more hawkish than Trump was on this one issue.

Let's assume that's true (I don't know if it is or not), but if it was the neoliberal consensus it would be odd since most of the enemies of the United States were made allies through commerce.

The only way I can logically agree with it being a neoliberal consensus is if sanctions are a grand plot to keep perpetual war going. But if that's true, then Trump is no better, because the JCPOA was a multi-lateral agreement that would have opened up a middle class in Iran with a vested interest in international peace. Trump squashed that.

Eh, nobody comes to MB for a hot take. They come for the pissing contests.
