    Oh great, Panarab.

    He manages to both be a grad user and a saud bootlicker. Ironically I’m the polar opposite of him in this two points, too (we are both Saudi, doppelgangers lol)

    Any moron with internet access should know the sauds are inhumane, brutal oppressors. It’s even more stupid when they themselves are Saudi 🤦‍♂️

    The hilarious part is Saudi Arabia absolutely participates in and supports US imperialism, as well as engaging in some of their own with respect to Yemen.

    arrest journalists

    Wait, didn’t the Saudis kill and chop a journalist into little pieces for criticizing MBS? I guess they didn’t technically arrest him, though.

    lol I just ate a ban too for pointing out an uncomfortable truth. PTB for sure. They’re equating George Floyd’s murder with state sanctioned public beheadings…

    Derek Chauvin is in jail for second degree murder. The officers that assisted him were also convicted of accessories to manslaughter. I’m also not going to bat for the police in the US because they by and large suck.

    Crazy how two things can be a problem at the same time, I know!

        Yeah I did that on purpose; wanted to see if even stating a neutral fact was enough to get put in timeout.

      Note that the only reason the occupation force officer is in prison… USian pedon chimped the fuck out to the point where first Lady Trump had to hide in the bunker and call in Elite airborne units from North Carolina to defend the white house

        I think I agree with your point that the only reason justice was administered was the massive public outcry, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a bullshit comparison, imo.

          It is not a strong comparison but it has some merit from the perspective that US regime does sanction this behavior from the police but we pretend like they don’t and these are just one off events… That’s happen regularly

          Saudi apologist is using it in bad faith though.

          This a tactic similar to tankies… They ain’t wrong about the criticism of western world but they would never accept the same reasoning to be used against Russia USSR or China

          Their entire argument hinges on westoid spazzing out and if that does not happen, they just spam their pre cut copy pasters

          Fedi shit posters being of higher quality enabled fedi community to isolate the tankie ideology while permitting some semblance of coexistence

          I think I went on the tangent here…

    “We shall criticize your culture. You shall not criticize ours. Any questions?”

    (I’m just going to take it as a good assumption that if I look at your profile I will not see halfway down the page “OH BY THE WAY THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS GENOCIDE” or anything, that they are just making that part up.)

      Please, be my guest. I am firmly against the genocide Israel is commiting in Gaza and openly against the Nazi guy called Netanyahu.

      Also: fun fact: I’m not american, I’m European, from a region with a very strong Arab history. I despise my own country history of colonialism and love my Arab roots. But hey, talk about LGTB and you start offending people.

    PTB. .ml should recruit Miqlāh* as an admin, he behaves exactly the same as them:

    • The rules being listed are not the rules you’re expected to follow.
    • Going out of his way to misinterpret what others say, while dishonestly putting words in their mouth.
    • “But what about…” all the time.
    • Unreasonably long bans that scream “ackshyually I didn’t permaban you!” from a distance.

    *inb4 this is a joke, don’t think too hard on it.

      There needs to be a community called “Rule 1” where everything anyone posts is removed. For authenticity, the mods will be mute and powerless and the admins of the hosting instance will do all the removals.

      Wait… never mind, I think I just re-created .ml.

    Yep, same mod who was being a PTB in c/Palestine a month or so back. So many people back then were defending him because ‘it was a sensitive topic for some’.

    Didn’t know where KSA apologist were in the house…

    Arabs have so much solidarity that’s why parasite ben Salman watches Israel genocide Gaza residents while doing jack shit about it.

    I guess it is better than what Russia is doing in Ukraine at least. So there is that.
