And I’m not defending MBS—but the reason I dislike Saudi is that they do the exact same moral universalism to the rest of the Muslim world, exporting Wahhabism to moderate Muslim countries. I see no reason for the US to get into Crusades 2.0.
Believing you shouldn't be brutally murdered for criticizing your government is not an American thing.
>What the f—k business do we have weighing in on Saudi society?
Some people believe basic human rights ought to be universal. Strange, I know.
>I see no reason for the US to get into Crusades 2.0.
Absolutely no one is suggesting that.
If you want to be beheaded by stating your opinions online, be my guest. But, personally, I would trust my country more, if it didn't aid financially those who bring terror upon their people. It's easier to trust it that way.
Public beheadings are acts of propaganda and to instill fear among the population. They only serve that purpose.
When pressed on that (here and elsewhere in this thread) you keep pivoting to talk about what the US government, billionaires and corporations should or shouldn't do. But that wasn't the question asked.
I can only assume you keep pivoting to that angle because those are easier arguments to make and involve considerably less self-reflection.
You told them that it wasn’t their place to do anything. When asked to justify your position you invoked “Crusades 2.0” and George Bush.
You’re being blatantly disingenuous.
And OP’s use of “we” and “taking down MBS” aren’t consistent with your characterization.
