    How does it relate to this post?

    Imagine if every post about Britain I brought up the Bengal Famine caused by Churchill’s racism. Or if the post was about Canada, I brought up the kidnapping and mass graves of indigenous peoples.

    This is just toxicity for its own sake.

        Because in 2024 the West is innocent and have paid back for all its past mistakes? There is nothing bad happening anywhere in the west… Perhaps bankrolling a genocide in Palestine?

        Take for example the topic of reparations for the descendants of former slaves is still highly controversial in the US instead of obvious. Similarly land return to indigenous peoples, even liberal judges in the US ruled against it.

          Many civilians condem the bombings and have no control just like you have no control over Saudi modern day slavery

            Okay then, let’s focus on the topic at hand.

            over Saudi modern day slavery

            The US has legal modern slavery as punishment for crimes and they went and criminalized black lives to keep the prisons filled.

          Now this statement is just idiotic. Saudi Arabia is not representative of all Arabs. From your post history, you are pushing clearly pushing a bullshit nationalistic agenda here. You hide behind the generic of statements of “toxicity” and don’t understand that the Saudi government is quite controversial.

          The world is not all sunshine and rainbows and I am able acknowledge that. I am unsure if you are able to see that. So, please, get off your high horse and gain some critical thinking.

            Saudi Arabia is not representative of all Arabs.

            As someone sympathetic to Ansar Allah, Hamas and Hezbollah, I know this very well

            From your post history, you are pushing clearly pushing a bullshit nationalistic agenda here.

            How so? If this was about Canada or Australia, no one would find it controversial.

            You hide behind the generic of statements of “toxicity” and don’t understand that the Saudi government is quite controversial.

            This isn’t the place to discuss your grievances.
