just a really smart tactic. Knowing that only one of the victors would tolerate him saying something so anti-the-system, it's better to err on the side of bowing to the authoritarian regime when you've just woken up naked and afraid somewhere inside a secret government facility. So hilarious, and a brilliant move. Well done, Austin.
