Safe the conservative vs progressive take for somewhere it fits, the vast majority of the American continent gov'ts still desposses natives from their lands for the interests of capital, the Saud family decision to desposses people for the sake of their ponzi city scheme answers only to capital interests and no other ideological points.

You think I was being serious?
I’m well aware that Saudi Arabia is by no stretch a progressive country. And yes while America and other countries do or have done this and support other countries like Israel that habitually does this. Thar doesn’t make Saudi Arabia doing it any less terrible or exempt them from criticism of people from said countries.
As I often say shit is shit.
My point was to snark on Saudi boosters who like to pretend that everything that’s happened since MBS came to power, is progressive when it’s not.
-
Not good snark, can't think anyone outside sycophant media pundits and think tank monstrosities that would think Saudi is moving from being the world capital of Salafi/Wahhabi-ism.

As I’m sure you’re well aware ordinary people not affiliated with either can “usually” through the government’s selectivity and misinformation campaigns wind up believing this stuff is completely on the level and necessary. And then you’ll have other normals who can be made aware of the truth of the human & civil rights abuses but be completely fine with it or think somehow it doesn’t go far enough.
Either way it doesn’t change my main point. Which again is Saudi Arabia’s government is an odious, horrible entity.

I’am shocked and completely beset with apoplexy

To paraphrase: We’re very concerned about the way Israel has restricted aid. But for the purposes of this report, Israel isn’t restricting aid.

Got my threads mixed up here. Meant this for the American Politics: A Brand New Day thread.
My apologies for the mixup.
