1. What a fucking baby.

2. As terrible as Abe may have been, he did keep the 円 stable and kept the Japanese economy somewhat under control. I’m probably gonna get downvoted for saying something so controversial, but it’s the truth

   I mean, to be fair, just about anything is better than the clown fest occurring right now in the government

3. There was a good satirical cartoon of this story in the Asahi today. Check it out if you can.

4. Abenomics is just rebranded neoliberalism then sold with a premium which subsequently ended up into the pockets of a selected few

5. As expected, he is the primary force behind the pushback and limitations to Kishida’s ability to put some of his more ambitious policies on paper. He also seems to be attracting some older and pretty powerful allies, all of them ofc from the Koizumi and then Abe neoliberal era.

   Neoliberalism could not die quickly enough.
