You should see what our country does to people who are part of the solution like Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden and Julian Assange (not an American though as far as I’m aware).

They’re talking about America, not a sensible country.
Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight - and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit
Strange, I don’t recall Biden telling us he thinks we’re stupid enough to think what’s happening in Gaza isn’t a genocide. I must’ve missed that.
We wanted a “shut up, man”
Oh yeah, remember that zinger? So powerful. “Shut up, man”.
Witty and to the point. They’ll write books about it.
end up returning to North Korea anyway?
Not if they go to South Korea; they literally won’t be allowed to leave. DPRK defectors/hostages aren’t given a passport off the bat; only when the puppet regime is convinced of their loyalty are they allowed to exit South Korea apparently.
I think this was the documentary that mentioned it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3V4Hnl7J9H4
Well I mean if one of you had just told me the last coup attempt had actually failed…
“Asia is the most racist because I went there once and people stared at me and asked me for photographs”
It’s funny but I remember when I went to an Asian country once I was actually eager to get myself photographed with a mall security guard all because he was a mall security guard armed with a combat shotgun; it was the coolest thing my eighteen year old self had ever seen. My sister was originally like “<evilsandwichman> no!”, but then she also wanted a photograph with him. Dude was a mall security guard with a combat shotgun, honestly coolest thing I’d seen by that point in my life.
He was some military veteran who apparently had ties to Guantanamo Bay. I wonder what happened to him
Hopefully
As far as I know he grew the fuck up and has a functional family now - quite the turn around i guess, i’m glad he was smart enough to go down a road where that was possible.
I hate say it, but some people grow up thinking they’re invincible and need an extremely hard (painful) reality check to bring them back down to Earth with the rest of us.

Legit this guy is the hero of at least this decade
Kind of embarrassing for Saudi Arabia given that in 1974 we’d already committed mass slaughters in Korea and Vietnam (also Laos and Cambodia) only recently in the millions. Saudi Arabia isn’t anywhere near as evil, but the propaganda certainly makes it seem so.
Do people actually "he just like me fr fr " and project for the whole runtime? Is self-insert protagonist a big thing in written fiction??
I used to think this was utterly lame when I was younger, then I began to notice not many of the characters I read had particularly strong personalities. I much prefer characters I can’t see myself in because just like in real life you’ll have people who are majorly different to you especially in motive.
Whaaaaaat? You don’t want a sci fi author to be like “this is Eric; he has black hair and is tall, this is his buddy Paul, he’s muscular but of average height, this is Alice, she is also tall with almond eyes and has gigantic gazongas”
To be fair, they’re not including the percentage of under-30’s who aren’t voting (unless it’s 1%).
“Gee, do I want to vote for the guy supporting the brutal murder of people my age and lower whose deaths I’ve seen on video, or do I want to support the other guy who’ll do the same and potentially worse?”
Something libs genuinely can’t grasp is that many people will vote for what they want, not for damage control. It takes effort to go and vote, and in some places it’s deliberately made even harder; not everyone is going to put themselves through that to vote for someone they don’t want just because they dislike him slightly less than the other guy.
Remember when we all thought democracy meant we could have any leader we wanted, rather than a choice between a slightly slowed progression into the abyss vs diving headfirst into it?
The lib I work with…in the same sitting he’ll tell me that no you can’t have what you want, realistically it’ll be this guy or the other guy, and then when I tell him we don’t have a democracy we have a monarchy with a choice between two political dynasties he’ll insist on ‘but what if the people want someone else’. He can somehow comfortably believe in two entirely opposing beliefs.
I’ve heard that among the fears of colonizers (like what the white population of South Africa were like) is that their victims will enact the same brutality on them, so why the hell are you trying to be as horrifically evil as you can.
A reminder: the former terrorist groups the haganah, irgun and lehi brigade literally became the IDF. Aside from the terrorist actions they’ve been up to in their entire existence, they were actual literal terrorist organizations that simply rebranded. Also the average Israeli sees the haganah (AT LEAST the haganah, potentially the rest too) as having basically been equivalent to our ‘frontiersmen’, basically the people who made their nation possible and brave soldiers; unsurprisingly they’re the same sort of genocidal lunatics our ‘frontiersmen’ were.
Utter psychopathy. I’m reminded of what I’ve heard regarding our troops’ actions in Iraq (Afghanistan?) where they would literally rape little boys in front of female prisoners; I believe this was either recounted by a famous reporter (I can’t recall his name), or by someone who was tortured at Abu Ghraib and said the photo of the man in the black hood could’ve been him (he can’t tell as the man has a hood in the photo). The latter did however also speak about male prisoners (maybe even the young boys I mentioned) being raped, the reporter in the former was saying that inevitably the truth of the horrors in the prisons over there was going to come out.
Meanwhile I have to read the opinions of a bunch of losers on twitter about how really it’s Russia that’s the real bad guys and we need to do something about them. The global South really is just a playground for Western removed.
That’s less a defense of Saudi Arabia and just pointing out it’s better than America
